An FAlooaUonal Test Advocated as a Further Mean of Birring tite vast Mass of. Forelaners Arriving Annii ally born Aspects of a Vexed Question. To the Editor of The Observer: It is Important that we who are re moved from the direct efrect of unre tricted foreign visitations, should familiarise ourselves with the existing condition and take some action for the amellration of those of our cltitens who bear this burden, and which will tend to remove this national cancer. From 1829. the first year in which there Is a record of Immgrants, to June JO, 190S, 20,993,441 have passed Inspec tion at our gates. Millions of honest Christian men, women and children, fresh from their native land, have had their sad hearta gladdened by the sight of America; realising that at last they stood on free soil and could par ticipate in the -advantages of a Demo cratic government and enjoy the so ciety of a free people. We should not, nor do we, underestimate the value of these honest homeseekers in tho de velopment they have lent to the Unit ed States. It is the other class which we do object t. " Many Ideas, some of which have been converted into laws, have been offered as a break-water against the flood-tide of this hunjii torrent. A per capita tax of $2.00 Is levied on each lmml grant. Rigid Inspection laws, which as a rule are Indifferently enforced, to gether with medical Inspectioln and lavs against contract labor. In a meas ure turn away a few of the undesirable As illustrative' of ' the Inadequacy of the present system, out of 1.865,815 Im migrants last year, the totnl number debarred for all causes was only 8, and of that vast, population gaining admission, 580, in lees than six months, were found enrolled In charituble In stitutions. One alarming objection to foreigners at present Is the unprece dented ravages of two contagious dis eases attributable to them, namely, favus, a skin, disease, and trachoma, or granular eyelids. Dr. ohn C. Ches ter, assistant surgeon of the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, states that there are 40,000 of these cases In the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn, It Is easy to appreciate what havoc this unforutnate feature would play among: the school children of our mighty metropolis. The criminal cluss Is, of course, the most difficult to de tect. They are genrally alert and in genious and secure admission by any device, however unscrupulous. Of that mighty army gaining admission, quire all immigrants to read the Con stltution In some language. The effect of thla educational test wa carefully examined by Congress and waa thor oughly discussed in many speeches in the Senate.

It wa also shown that the tllterate lmml. grants congregated in the slums of our great cltiee, proof positive that the teet on the whole reached the worst class. The objection always made that Home objectionable Immigrants could both read and write, and that 'some desirable immigrants could do neither, Is, of course Idle. No resrlctlve legis lation can shut out only the objection able and admit only the desirable, but the educational test makes as few mis takes In that way as any law which could be devised.

In the last Congress the educutional test was boldly objec ted to by" members upon the ground that It would tend to stop the Intro luctlon of . cheap labor which Indus Iriai corporations greatly needed. Such Is a brief epitome of the situa tion, and I believe that we should earnestly and conscientiously turn this matter over In our minds and take an active part in urging our Representa tlves In Congress to pass some resrlc tlve legislation.

These people are, In the main, not only totaly different from us, but they have an enormous percentage of wholly uneducated persona. perlment of assimilating these people, with whom we have never amalgama ted or had relations of any kind. Is enough to give pause to any reflecting man, for, If continued, it will make us a tower Of Babel among the nations. About twenty years ago Congress took the first decisive step in this direction, by a statutory provision for the exclusion of the dittoed, the crim inal and the pauper classes. Follow. tag this enactment the contract labor law , was passed which waa offered as a panacea for the great 111 resultant from the Importation to this country of large1 bodies of cheap laborer to perform work under a contract made abroad and then to be returned to the land of their nativity.
