THE NEW IMMIGRANT

Recent reports show that there has
Eccn a considerable improvement in the
type Of immigrants coming into this
country under the operation of the SO
Per cent quota" law. Probably a half
million aliens have been kept out who
would otherwise have immigrated.
Although the North Europeans, or Nor
dies, generally considered more desir.
able class of immigrants, have not taken
fill advantage of their quota, as the
South and Southeastern Europeans do,
they have increased from Is per cent Of
the total European immigration in 1913
10 SO per cent for the past year. Il.
The decrease in number Of immi.
grants and the change of class is not ex.
pcctcd TO be without results. An in.
crease in wages may result because Of
the lessening of the supply Of unskilled
labor, and because the Nordics are gen
orally more willing to join unions than
the Slavs and Lalins. Because Of the
increased wages and the higher stand
aids of living Of the Nordics there is ex.
pec;ed an improvement in general living
conditions of laborers.
The Nordics are more easily assimi.
lated and have lower crime rate than
South Europeans. Because Of this and
also OF the better standards Of living,
there will be less tendency toward con.
gesied foreign colonies with the result
ing increase in crime and disease.
The Nordics are held to be more de.
sirable in a variety of ways, one Of the
chief ones rs because they are so similar
to us, since We as a nation are Nordic
in ideals ard temperament.
If these benefits are realized they vii
in themselves be enough justification Of
the law which has had some bitter oppo
si,ion. bu; which is said at present to b,

yorngster until nothing else than the
cold, hard facts will appeal to his mat
ter-of-fact mind.
And vet the condition is really de
plorable. The child who cannot or viii
not appreciate the fanciful things in life
is as bad off as the poor child who, from
the very beginning. has been disillus;on
ed about Santa Claus and the fairies
Childhood is not really childhood if ii
has never known the thrill of hanging up
a stocking in front Of The fire for old
ST. Nick to fill; and childhood is not
really childhood when the gay adventures
of elves and enomes and pixies have
never been approximately enjoyed.
1t is a sad condition of affairs when
Hans Christian Andersen the swiss
Family Robinson" and the Wonder
Book" Of Hawthorne lie dusty on the
shelves because an unbciieviag child can
not be made to read the beautiful stories
that are beneath his reason. II is pitiful
when, because Shakespeare has become
an academic subject, the charming tales
from Shakespeare, 50 well-done by
Charles and Mary Lamb, are allowed TO
be neglected.
The child. unquestionably. is not to
blame. His inclinaiions are absorbed
from his elders around him who. in many
cases. think it an achievement for the
child to be swallowing facts by the
wholesale at such tender age. Yet this
seeming charging of the minds reason
ing. is having lis dire effect; paradox
cally speaking, the child who grows be-
fore his time is dwarfed

better understood and more appreciated

give the child a chance to be a child.

IRISH FREE STATE.

With the election OF Arthur Grit
fifth as President, or Premier. of the
Irish Free State, and his appointment
OF cabinet in thorough agreement
with him In the laudable purpose TO
give the experiment of Free Ireland
fair trial, a most suspicious be-
ginning has been made. Mr.. Crit
fifth ardently and effectively fought
for the ratification of the pact with
Great Britain by Dali Eireann, and
his success made him the natural
leader of the new cause And now
the venture Of Ireland as Free State
with the same status as has been
found SO successful in Canada, Aus
tralia and the South African Union
will be entered upon, with its affairs
in charge of its friends, and with the
approval and good wishes of large
majority of friends Of Irish freedom
at home and abroad.
Unfortunately, clear sailing for this
new ship Of state is not assured. Tn,
experiment has hostile enemies, a,
well as valorous friends. De Valera
who until the ratification of the treaty
by Dali Eireann was head Of the Irish
movement, as President of the so
called Irish Republic, is bitterly OPP
posed TO the arrangements entere,
into, and may endeavor to bring abou
failure OF the promising experiment
But conditions under the new ar
rangements will be vastly differen
