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.
