It shlould not be necessary to offer any State a bounty to stamp out illiteracy. As for the Federal Government. we must remember that the public school is our melting pot. It is the crucible in which we assimilate foreignborn children and the children of the foreign born. If we admit aliens faster than they can be assimilated. we jeopardize our own institutions. We must therefore devise ways and means whereby we Will not admit immigrants faster than they can be assimilated. While we now exclude anarchists. it may become necessary to be more watchful and to make certain that we are not admitting those who. while they are not anarchists. do not believe in our form of government. We have a right to change our Government. but no altruistic spirit should lead us to admit those who are bent on changing our form at the first opportunity.
