I refer to the final test. If the immigrant is a young man and goes to school. he acquires the language easily. It is easy for him to acquire it. But in the case of the laborer who works from morning to night. and works to send money to the other side. for example. to support his wife. it is difficult for him to acquire sufficient knowledge of the English language to successfully pass the test on his application for the final papers. so that it is not a lack of interest on the part of the alien. not a lack of desire on his part to become a citizen. but simply that his condition will not permit him within the time the gentleman suggests. the period of five years. to acquire the requisite knowledge.
