I can prove that the children of illiterate parents exhibit a keener interest in their studies. are more anxious to acquire an education. and receive higher grades than those whose parents have been more fortunate. In a bulletin just issued. Commissioner of Education Claxton states thatThe least illiterate of our population are the nativeborn children of foreign parents. And again. he says: Illiteracy among the children of nativeborn parents Is three times as great as that among nativeborn children of foreign parents. Mr. Chairman. due to immigration our country is the wonder of civilization. Its population is made up of all the people of the earth. We have here all races. all religions. all nationalities.
