As yet we have not made a reading test a qualification for voting in the States. but it is undoubtedly coming to that in the future. Our various States look upon education sufficiently important as to make it criminal to keep children from the schools. Yet when we. acting as the Representatives of the people of the entire Nation. attempt to set a reading test for the immigrant who wishes to come to our shores we are at once met with various charges of unAmerican conduct. I want to say to such that it is more unAmerican for us to set one test for our own citizen and another for a foreign subject. This test does not keep out the desirable.
