But, to return to our mutton-the

Keefe can answer all the questions,
particularly the one about where the

William Williams, the Commissioner
of immigration at Ellis Island, ought
to answer most of the questions, as
he is college bred and countryborn;
but without doubt he would find the
question about the number of yards
of cloth required to make a dress diff
cult to answer, inasmuch as he is a
bachelor.

The surgeons at Ellis Island do their
best to weed out the imbeciles, idiots
and others mentally deficient; but, It
must be understood, they are working
under pressure, that they are kept
quite busily employed in searching for
physical defects and contagious dis
eaies among the newly arrived. that

comes in. BY the means of the print

surgeon is enabled to appraise the
intelligence of the lad, to tabulate the
result. He may prove to be a bright
lad after all. He may be a dullard.
He may be a deaf mute, an imbecile--
who knows? The card helps the sur
geon to his ultimate finding.
OF course there are other tests,

Mr.. Goodwin Brown, former New
York State Commissioner in Lunacy,
and an authority on matters pertain
ing to the heavy burden thrown upon
the taxpayers of the country by rea-
son of the admission of the alien in
sane, recently expressed himself in
part as follows:
I'm some years New York State has
spent as much as one-third of it's en-
tire revenue in the care of it's insane.
This year 1t will probably spend-at
least the Lunacy Commission has ask
ed 100000, or one-fifth of its
income. Startling as these figures are,
there are others even more surprising.
OF the inmates of the State hopsitals
for the insane about one-half are for
eign born. The logical inference is that
large number of lunatics, or poten-
tial lunatics, are successful in passing
the examination at Ellis Island.
1--WE have in New York State fifteen
State hospitals for the care of the
insane. They have more than $4,000
inmates. The employees, exclusive OF
the physicians, number between 5000
and 5000. The cost of the plants and
equipments of these hospitals approx.
mates the staggering sum of $6O,OOO,'
OOO

insane right here in the country, and

United States the imbecile, the idiot,
the epileptic and the mentally def
cient.
As a means toward this end they
have prepared card containing GER
tain questions-a card which at first
sight appears to contain some ridi-
culous questions.
But, as the cereal man would say,
there's q reason"
How many city men can tell how
many days it takes to hatch an egg?
How many residents of Los Angeles,
Council Bluffs or Jersey City can say
how much milk COW will yield in
one day? How many male natives Of
Greater New York can tell how much
cloth it takes to make a dress?-un-
less, perchance madame has charge
account and some of the items are
fresh in his mind.
In so far as where the sun goes
overnight the writer wots not, nor is
he deeply concerned. The Easter
question is easy, particularly for a
man of substance and family. The
writer would define it thus: easter
is the harvest season for dressmakers
and milliners; then the price of butter
tumbleS a cent or two, and fresh-laid'
eggs, less than one month old, may be
obtained at the corner store"
But this card is no joke, according
to George w. Stoner, the surgeon in
charge of the Marine Hospital sherps
at e lis Island.
II don't understand how the card
came into your possession" said he,
"and l suppose you newspaper people
will try to twist it into something
funny There's nothing funny about
it.. On the other hand, it is simply
one of our office helps and devices by
means of which we may estimate the
approximate intelligence of certain i'm.
migrants whom we detain for a more
extended mental examination.
I'VE don't expect the immigrant to
answer all the questions perfectly.
If he is color blind, that does not nee
essari'y debar him from admission.
Were he a locomotive engineer by
trade his color blindness would be a
fact to be taken into consideration by
the Boards of Special Inquiry. They
would exercise their judgment in eth
err admitting him to the United States
or deporting him to the country
whence he came.
