We would not. however. want it to be understood we favor excluding the ignorant people because our hearts (to not beat in sympathy with them. but being obliged to exempt another class from the benefits of this country. we consider it wise r.nd just to decide in favor of the intelligent class as being most desirable to us and. as a class. being the most deserving. By making this choice we decide in favor of intelligence and learning. and thus impress upon the people of the world the value of knowledge. and in this way we impress upon the ignorant people of all lands the fact that the human race is developing and that all must keep apace with the times. The most important matter pertaining to immigration is to keep from our shores all who continue to lower our national standards. The hand that brings down the standards of a nation is an instrument of sure destruction. You might as well take the warmth from the sunbeams of heaven or innocence from the heart of a child as to take away the ideals of a people.
