I call attention to page 1. line 7. where the word " shall " is stricken out and the word "may " inserted. This section of the bill is a very wise one. It provides for selection abroad. It is a large step and a long step in advance. and if we will make the language beyond disputeand I think care ought to be used. so as to make it beyond disputeif we establish a real system of selection before immigrants leave their native shores. it will be infinitely better for our country. We shall thereby get a better class of immigrants and consequently a better class of foreignborn citizenship. It is very important. It is a step in the right direction.
