Ience. if the end desired can be reached by the educational test. would it not be better to bring it about in that way? It has only been within recent years that so many undesirables have been coming to our shores. More of them have been admitted within the last ten years than came throughout the entire previous history of our Government. Prior to 1890 almost all our immigration was the Teuton and the Celt. They were the sturdy pioneers who penetrated the forests of this country and won them over to civilization. They were the people who. chafing under religious or political oppression. sought these shores in order that they might erect the standard of liberty.
