A Thought For The Day
Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy
throne; mercy and truth shall go before thy
face.—Ps. 89:14.
A good man doubles the length of his existence;
to have lived so as to look back with pleasure on
our past existence is to live twice.—Martial.
THE QUESTION OF IMMIGRATION
One of the important questions to come before
congress at the approaching session in December will
be the limitation of the immigration to 2 per cent
instead of 3 per cent as is now the law. Foreigners
have flocked to this country and there is not a na
tion in old the country which is not full up to the
limit"in America and thousands on the waiting list.
Thfc average immigrant is undesirable, but the
largo manufacturing plants of the east seek to bring
there people ever here in order to secure cheap
labor, Practically all of the trouble in industrial
lines in this country have been brought on by this un
desirable class of foreigners. It is true that there are
many aliens in America who have made good law
abiding citizens, thrifty and economical in living
habits and through their industry they have accumu
lated wealth, but these are exceptions.
In former years a great majority of the immigrants
came from the British Isles and northern Europe, but
receitt years the majority of the immigrants have
comb from southern Europe and Asia. It is sur
prising to note the large number who come in on
tramp steamers from every country and land in
Mexico. Under the Mexican law all foreigners must
remain in that country for two years before they can
enter America. Many of them flock to Mexico on
accoQnt of the percentage of their countrymen hav
ing already entered America with the hopes that
they;may be able to smuggle over the border into
Texas.. The smuggling traffic has grown to be a
profitable business to the Mexicans and some Ameri
cans -Who seek to smuggle these foreigners to Ameri
can shores for which they receive handsome renum-
eratiftn.
It *|s to be hoped that congress will decrease the
percentage of immigration nnd fix the limitation at 2
per cent instead of 3 per cent as is now the law.
J growing"in importance
The University of Georgia Summer School is at
tracting country wide attention. The attendance this
yearlbroke all previous records and it is believed that
another year will bring a lurge increase over any year
since the creation of the school.
The Savannah Morning News commenting on the
successful term has the following to say:
, !The summer school of the University of Geor
gia is annually becoming more and more an in-
i stitution—an. institution with several sides.
Mainly its service has been the bettor trainfng of
teachers for the common schools and the city
school systems 61 the state. Increasingly, how
ever, too, there has been evidence that many who
are not teaching lmve been availing themselves
of'Jhe facilities of the summer sessions for gen
eral classical courses many of them looking to the
mister’s degree. This year there were enrolled
two hundred students more than the two thous
and expected before the session began. Rcgu-
■ laijy tho'summer school at Athens—along with
the other educational institutions of the state—
is compelled to worry along on far less financial
aid from the state than it reasonably ought to
have, and regularly the attendance increases
aid more young Georgians aro helped for better
equipment {or service in fine citizenship.
. Nnff only the Savannah Morning News referred
to it{ but practically every newspaper in tho state
has commented favorably on the success of the school.
•. It isjof vast importance to the'sehool teachers and
to those who are seeking instructions in higher edu
cation. The state should be liberal in Its appro-'
printfon for the support and maintenance of this
school. The present appropriation is not sufficient
to entry on the great work planned by the manage
ment; of this school to reach those who are eager to
prepirc and advance themselves for higher work
and to receive degrees which wHl mean much for
them. In the educational endeavors of this and other
states. It is heped that our legislature will see to it
that ^nother year sufficient appropriation is mode to
carry on this work and maintain the institution with
out any degree of embarrassment caused by the
curtailment of service for the lack of funds.
