There is not any suggestion in that document to indicate that they have interfered with the normalschool courses in this country. there is not any suggestion that they try to teach the colleges of the country what sort of a curriculum they shall have . it is simply a plain statement of the duties of citizenship addressed to the plain man. the uneducated man. if you please. the laboring man. the man who has not the time to figure on colleges and on the schools or anything else. but simply wants to learn the fundamentals of the American Government and citizenship. so that he may get out his final papers and so become a useful Alnerican citizen. Mr. President. I have already taken more of the time of the Senate than I ought to have taken. I am going to move to amend this bill at the proper time. to carry out the suggestion which I have in mind. and that is to eliminate everything from it except the skeleton of a bill. which will not interfere with or conflict with the law now on the statute hooks that provides for the education of aliens under the act of June 29. 1906. as amended by certain later acts authorizing the Bureau of Naturalization. under the direction of the Secretary of Labor. to take charge of these matters.
