A classical or scientific education Is not.required for the performance of severe manual labor. These men do not come to this country to make our laws or to run for Congress or to man our colleges. Our naturalization laws are now framed so that the right of citizenship is withheld from those unable to read and write or to speak the English language. There is a difference between Immigration and naturalization. I recognize It. I agreethat our laws regarding naturalization should be made so strict as to exclude from the elective franchise those who are ignorant or illiterate. But so far as immigration is concerned. literacy or illiteracy has no material bearing upon desirability. Does the fact of illiteracy make a mani undesirable as a.resident? If so. then many of the great families of Virginia should not have been permitted to remain here.
