UNCLE SAM TO
CONDUCT PSALM
!. RI READING GLASS
Immigrants Will be Taught the
Bible in Shadow of Miss
Liberty

New York, Feb. 25.--Uncle Sam viii,
soon be conducting great classes in
reading the Psalms almost at the feet
Of the Statue of Liberty il proposals
for changes in examinations Of incom-
Ing aliens mrc adopted.
Alfred Hampton, Assistant Commits
Of immigration, has been
comforting with immigration officials
in regard to restoring the pre-war
practice of examining all immigrants
who come by ,stecragc at Ellis Island
instead Of on shipboartl:. as:tilt pres.
ent., f.. ~. ,.",'J 4. II: f;''n !.

islanl more thar" 1000 men and wo-
men will read from the Psalms there
daily. anu Miss Liberty who stands i
stones throw from the island Slip
could hear if she were incarnate.
Reading from the Psalms IS the lit
crucy test Off admission to this coun.
try, which went into effect in May,
1917 aud is now receiving it's first real
trial because immigration during the
war was small. The law provides that
an immigrant with few exceptions
must be able to read from 80 to 40
words in any language he or she de-
sireS. The department Of labor de-
viscd the Psalm test as the fairest for
all.
immigration inspectors are equipped
with cards in all languages with verses
from the Psalms printed on them. All
types of script are represented, Ger
man, Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese, Russ.
ian and SO on, except Chinese for that
nationality is not permitted to immi.
CRATE Lest any alien learn parrot
like the verse Of the Psalm that L
friend in this country had to read the
inspectors have at least 40 different
verses in each language, one verse to !
card.
The proposal that primary inspec-
ton Of stcerage passengers be at the
island instead of on shipboard is male
because immigration authorities regard
it as impossible to conduct adequate
examination of aliens on the ships.
Often a ship has as MANY as 2,00O
stccrage passengers and the quarters
afford little opportunity for checking
and property testing aliens, not only
for illitcracy. but for health and other
immigration requirements.

This is not the first time Mr.. Colby
has held office under the present al
