its beneficiaries. Citizenship in the
countries from which We derive the
most OF our immigration is most diff.
cult OF attainment, and is valued ac-
cordingly. Hence when these people
come to us and have this boon thrust
upon them, who can blame them thar
they hold il in light esteem?
II is doubtful if the welfare of the
republic will longer permit the full
naturalization OF foreigners. At least
the franchise should not be conferred
until after long residence and ample
proof Of loyalty. The ease with which
the foreign vote has long been herded
and controlled in the great centers Of
population has always been a matter
of keen reproach to our people, This
has been largely due to their ignorance
of our laws and institutions, and can
only be remedied by education. Very
little trouble of the sort is expert.
enced with the children OF these for
eigners. A broader view of life in a
democracy has been given them
through a greater knowledge of Am
erican institutions and of American
ideals.
A restriction of the suffrage will
also have a salutary effect upon the
labor problems of the country. Many
of our labor troubles are tOmouted
either by or on account of this ele-
ment, which is armed with a weapon
of which they understand only the
power-none of the duties and respOn
sibilities Given a better knowledge
of the latter before the former is
placed in their hands, much OF our
troubles could be averted
The time is here when the United
States can no longer afford TO pose as
an asylum for the oppressed of ail ma
tions The interests of our own p5O-
pie must take precedence.

But ii is more with the building OF
such schools than with their workings
and influence that we wish to deal in
this article.
To attain success. a school must &C.
quire the character OF permanence.
This is only done by adopting a set
tied policy and adhering to il. The
bane of thousands OF schools is the
lack OF such policy. and the one vital
reason why these schools do lack such
settled purpose is that there is no
element OF permanence in their man.
agement
There is radical defect in the
school laws of most states, at least as
regards the public schools. If there
is one American institution in which
politics should have no place. it is in
our institutions of learning. Yet ii is
just here that its pernicious effects
are frequently most noticeable.
First under the system OF board
management usually adopted, these
boards are constantly changing
tiring old members and adding new
ones. No sooner is a course mapped
out by one board than its successors
come right along and change the whole
thing. The head of the school who is
perfectly satisfactory to one board
may be most Objectionable to the next.
He may have instituted most worthy
movements and may have been sue
cessfully carrying them out. but this
weighs not at all with the politicians
who control his actions by virtue Of
their board memberships, He must
give place to another, selected many
times through partisanship or by ia
voritism The consequence is that
whatever good work he has accom-
plished is often abandoned and an en-
tirely different course mapped out,
with the result that the school gets
nowhere and accomplishes nothing of
a permanent nature.
No school will acquire any perma-
nency or weight in its community
where such shifting policy is in prac-
tice. Rather, we should say that such
shiftless lack of policy.
Successful schools require time and
labor to build up. A permanent poll
cy must be established and adhered
to. Then the right head must be
chosen-and KEPT. No man can pro-
duce his best work in school in one
year or two years, or even in five
years. He must have time-time to
lay substantial foundation upon
which to erect that superstruCture.
The Influential schools of the country,
both free and private, are the result
of years of patient effort and stead.
fastly adhering to a settled policy
If you would have a school of which
you can be proud, form settled plans
for it, select the right head and put
him in charge. and then keep him and
Loyalty support him. Any other course
is a waste of time and effort.
