The.majority of the House undoubtedly favor a reasonable and fair educational test. such a bill. for instance. as we passed last summer. and which. as you will remember. I supported. But I can not believe it to be the intention of the House to unfairly discriminate between the different languages and recognize one and not the other. irrespective of the intelligence. the character. or financial standing of the immigrant himself. and under the guise of an illiteracy test shut out not only the illiterates. but also those who have acquired educational qualifications. perhaps even in a high degree. but happen to be unable. because of the geography of their birth. to come within the language qualification of this bill.
