ijir. President. the propositions contained in the amendment just read are not new propositions. and especially the first proposition. which provides an educational test for immigrants. When we reach a vote I shall ask to divide the question and vote upon each proposition separately. The proposition to require an educational test for immigrants has heretofore received discussion and Indorsement from both Houses of Congress. from President McKinley. President Roosevelt. and more than once from the Commissioner of Immigration. In the Fiftyfourth Congress a proposition to apply the educational test to immigrants was passed by both Houses. In the House the vote in favor of that bill was 195 to 20. In the Senate it was passed by the decisive vote of 52 to 10.
