Consider the problems that recent

commonly regarded as a mereN matter

America has met another severe test
in welcoming and absorbing thousands
OF immigrants. In 1860 the population
Of this country was thirty-one ana
half millions In the 80 years 10 isip
twenty three million immigrants were
received. or three quarters OF the whoie
population in 1850 and. except for
small fraction made up OF EnRlish'
Scotch and ScandiDavians. these
strangers came from lands where des-
potism still prevailed They knew
neither the language nor the trahltl6hs
Of America. One third Of our pophisr

through their coming the sentiment OF
nationality has made real progress IN
