Inspection is not committed to persons in remote countries. where surveillance is difficult. but remains a uniform system. which is public and easily controlled. 43. It is exact and definite in its operation. easily and simply applied. and therefore #7. iIt dininishes the labor of the boards of special inquiry and gives the immigration officials opportunity for a more thorough inspection. 8. It secures rudimentary education on the part of all foreigners applying for naturalization papers and American citizenship. 0. It promotes education among those who desire to emigrate. and to that extent improves the social condition of Europe. 10. It saves the hardship to the immigrant of making the voyage in doubt as to his admission or exclusion. and therefore 11. It does away in large part with the separation of families and with a temptation to a lax enforcement of inspection in order to prevent such separation. Intending immigrants can tell before starting whether they are eligible or not. and can decide whether to separate or not.
