■ IMMIGRATION LECTURE
FOR WOMAN’S CLUB
"YVIra* wil! cure the indigestion
I from which America has been suf
I fertng beciuiso of unassorted and un*
| assimilate?* immigration?’*
Kvdetick Wallis answered that
I question Tuesday night in his ud
dr*.ss before the Woman’s Club in
th^ Presbyterian chapel. It will not
be cored until the country ceases to
regard immigration as a mas5# and
look upon it as a million individuals.
<*ac*n of whom is a. human being with
I a right to human treatment and
sympathetic understanding.
A!r. Wn!!i« who until recently was
I commissioner of immigration of the
1 Port of New York, then took his an*
j dir nee to Kills Is’nnd where 85 per
cent of the foreigner* who come to
th;.J country first get their glimpse
of America.
| "Kills island is the stage," he said.
I "on which the greatest human drama
with its ever changing scenes Is en
act d daily by the steady flowing
"tr ain of men, women and children
who have come to make their home*
in this country You can make an an
archist out cf an immigrant over
niglit in Kills Island, or you can lead
him to ? glorious titisonship,” said
AI<\ Wallis.
“The K!.s*»rrg Post is the most pa-1
thotie spot on the I-land. It is here
the father, long separated from hi*
family, is again united; hero tho girl j
from France meets her fiance and
tho moi.he. who did not want to
leave th? old home, at first, is full of
tears of joy when she meets her chil
dren at the ‘.{issing Post.’ These are
tho happy rrynes: hut let us now
look in the S. I). room where hun
.li- a. tiiiinnn In i 1 ■ ni’P huddled
! together waiting to he deported.
‘Tmagine the pathos of the
scene—iren women and children
crying am! begging in most heart
rending manner, kept here, vowing i
to kill themselves rather than go
back. evti. mothers in their frenzy
have tri d to throw their babies into
th* water and to think that condi
tions like these could be avoided, by
select ion on the other side and dis
tribution here.
"Is not inspection over there bet
ter than rt.iect.ion here?" asked Mr.
Wallis. "What does Americanization
moan? Something that is crammed
j down the people, throats? Nobody
was jvec taught that way.
‘'Americanization is a work of
patience ar.d that, combined with
kindnes**. and good will, will teach
th-» immigrant iove and respect
this great free country of ours of
which will soon be a part for af
ter all," Mr. Wallis added, "on the
shades of tho night, the world breaks
into light, 'tis daybreak everywhere."
There ore .,:x million people, adults
who are ir\ Jm for citizenship papers
anti there are fifteen million who
have not even made application for ;
tli J.r papers.
M-s. I rani: Dorsey, chairman of
tho legislative department, spoke
against House bills 332 and 125, per
mitting a girl with only a grammar
school education t? go in trainin for
a nurse, on the grounds that her pre
liminary education would afford
siif.Pcieiu foundation for a technical
training of a nurse. The passage of
these bills would prevent a New Jer
sey woman from registering in thirty !
states.
Mrs. Nathaniel W. Pierce, Jr.,
chairman of the civic department,
announced that $G4.G8 had been
realized at tho food sale, held Kat
urday in the Presbyterian chapel
