President. is not a compliance with the instructions of the Senate to its conferees. It is not only not a compliance. but it is a departure from the requirements of those instructions. If the Senator from Massachusetts can show to me that illiteracy of foreign immigration mehns dishonesty in the character of the immigrant. I will vote for his bill. Education. it is true. does give polish to fine natures. but the nature may be fine without the polish of education. We want the fine nature and will do the polishing in the shape of education after the immigrants come here. We will educate these immigrants when they get here. We will find the task less difficult to make a homogeneous mass of these people. adapting them to our customs and to our purposes. than if they had preconceived notions from the education which they had received abroad. We do not want them partial to the learning and culture of Europe.
