Ruthenian. 58.8 per cent. Portuguese. 67.5 per cent. making an average of 42.6 per cent. This clearly demonstrates that the educational test will not only separate the ignorant. vicious. and the lazy from the intelligent and industrious classes that are coming to this country. but to a large extent it will eliminate the lower classes of immigration from the countries that are not of Teutonic and Celtic origin. and to some degree will solve the problem of the assimilation of the dissimilar races. The future greatness of our Republic. the stability of our form of government. is dependent in the ages to come on the intelligence and chhracter of the common masses of our people. The theory that some advance. that we can not develoil the great mineral and agricultural resourcesof our country unless we have an ignorant and downtrodden class of people to perform our manual labor. is a false one and inconsistent with the theory of our Government and the. traditions of our fathers.
