"In uiir congested districts, a
child of peasant Immigrants lias
the poorest of training. The entire
environment is bad, the child's
primer is the life and habits of the
street and side-walk; he l.-arns his
lessons often from the icioiis and
criminal. He. sees big buildings, and
magnificent, arches, oiajestie steam,
era and vast crowds and swiftly
moving limousines, but they mean
nothing to him. Tho door-step and
the pavement and a dirty street is
his school room and horizon, Prof.
Commons declares that the rerords
of charitable Institutions of a New
York city show a very high per
centage of aliens, who are appli
cants for charity. However exag
gerated this statemint it. indicates
the alarming extent the abject
p. nury brought on by immigration
of this backward and iudiff'. rent
people, for It is the immigrant and
the children of the immigrant who
swell the ranks of our indigents. of
our great centers, who are poverty
stricken are necessarily parasites
Imt they occupy the great border
land between parasitism and in-
dusi.ry and if 'Iny continue para
sitic, they swa-ii the ranks of the
criminal world. While schools are
a tine thing for the immigrant
child, it is the community more
than the school who gives tho
child Its working Ideals and habits
of life. The destiny (-Imping stm t
lifu is Ihe main powtrh'ul fuetur III!
the training, of the lininigianl i
child.
The amazing criminality of chil
dren of Immigrants is almost
wholly a product of city lll'n, and
it follows diivctly upon tile Itie.i
paclly of Immigrant parents to con j
trol their children under city con- .
iHtlons. Hoys especially, at an inrly '
age, lose respect, lor the parents
who cannot talk Ihe language of the
conununilv, and who are Ignorant
and hclpliss in Ihe whirl of the
struggle for existence mid iro shut
tip In stores mid factories, Kvnnple
after example might bo nlv.-n of
tenement families In which thu
parents, industrious peasant labor-!
ers, have found themselves dis- ,
graced by Idle and vicious lii-own
sons and daughters. Cases from
charitable l coords show these up.
Kven Hi" .lews, who train their
children in lessons of self sacrifice
see them bl'i aking away. i
"Children of alien peasants come'
to tlie cross-roads of crime. i
( iiiiiiariniie Criminal statlMli-N !
".Statistics renal that tlie foreign- 1
born show aiH actually lower ralo
of criminality than tlie fial native-
born. This Is true, for immigration :
now excludes criminals. I'.iit the'
native-born children of immigrants
slniw a proportion of criminality1
a.S'C per mill inn much gruiter
than that of children of native, pur-j
1 ents. So the tendency to crime
among juveniles instead o; being
less lor children of the foreign-,
born, is nearly twice as great as
that of children of Anp-rican par
i r ntage.
"Tlie comment of Mr. Jolt l.aurk"
throws light upon a particular de
partment of vice. 'The invest igationa
of the Vailed Mtntes immigration
commission.' says Mr. l.auek, hlni
j self a member of that commission,
'seem to show very clearly that the
keepf rs of disorderly houses and
those most actively engaged in tlie
I work of procuring Inmates for
! those houses, in this coumry and
abroad, are either aliens or Ine
: children ol .aliens.'

"The greatest difficulty in the
true naturalization of these diverse
race elements is a comparatively
high age lit which most of our cen
tral and south easlern Immigrants
conn- lo us. I'or those over 111 and
those past compulsory school age,

Trobably not, for a signature is altogether too important
to be carelessly handled. And Thomas Boyden would no
more put their signature on poor shoes than you would
sign unread documents. Every Boyden Shoe bears the
Boyden name and Boyden is a signature that means first
