Oh. I do not think that is a fact. stated so broadly. Yet it Is true. from my own observation in Indiana and in Illinois and from what I read generally. that the children of the immigrants. the second generation of themthe first generation came to this countryit is true that they are quite equal in the common schools and the high schools with: "our people." as we call them. whose parents came here three or four or five generations ago. quite as competent. and quite as wise. and quite as anxious for education. and quite the equal of the ancient "first families" that came to this country. some of them 300 years ago. but not a great many. and many of them 100 years ago. and many 50 years ago. Now. the human family is a peculiar one. Man naturally is a religious animal.
