Many of the illiterate whites who come to these shores under our present immigration laws are the unskilled laborers who work in our minues and who lay railroad tracks across the prairies and the plains under the burning rays of the sumer sun in the Northern States. The American will not do it. and the second generation of the foreign inmaigrant will not lon it. It is this foreign element. this illiterate foreign element. that does this class of work not alone in our own country. but in Germany. in England. and in the progressive industrial nations of the world.
