MISS ANT|N PUTS
ALIEN IN new LIGHT
Immigrant Problem In One Iargel,
Created by Our Own
Neglect.
OLD QUESTION IN NEW DRESS
Newcomer Is But the Puritan of Early
Days, Save That Puritan Ia Pro
tected by Halo OF Lapse OF Time.

Miss Mary Antin, Of Boston. laid
bare the immigrant problem of the
United States before the people of
Richmond last night In a wonderfully
forceful talk. Rabbi Calisch intro
duced Miss Antin in his usual impress
sive manner. and then Miss Antin
took possession Of her audience. The
title of her lecture was They Who
Knock at Our Gates but the sub
stance was tho result of tireless In
vestigation, with the eagerness Of an
analytical mind pushing 1t on. and
the sentiment of experience to softer
and humanize II. She showed the
immigrant in an entirely different Ugh,
from that in which we are aecus-
toned to viewing him. The first hall
of her lecture compared him with the
Puritan ancestors. of whom We are sc
proud. and by comparing historical
and modern statistics she proved the
immigrant of today similar and supe'
rior in many respects to our far-re'
moved ancestors, whom ''the slight
distance Of a few years" has protected
with a halo of romance.
The second half of her speech took
up our objections to the immigrant
ana proved by statistics the faliac3
of our Judgments She laid his Gins
at our own doors and blamed us fol
cur neglect In properly coping with
his problem.
The conclusion of her lecture placed
the problem before the American peo-
pie. Her great cry was: THE govern
ment has invited the immigrant. but
what has the government done &C
take care OF him7''
Miss Antin's lecture was powerful
in it's intensity, personal feeling borr
of experience. and clear understand
ing OF tho wrongs and the remedie.
for those wrongs. Her hearers were
greatly impressed and fully recognized
the seriousness OF her plea at the con
clusion OF her story.
