There are a number of persons, it
was learned who are to day licensed
te tellers but who are not American
citizens One associate city superin
tendent said:“Iu the schools to day
there are a number of Canadians,
some English some French and some
German teachers who are not citi
zens. ”
The above from the Brooklyn Ka
gle emphasises an important factor in
the advancement of the united states
along lines not conducive to a solid
and substantial growth. Hut hapilv
this cause could and should be at
once removed. To allow a person to
come to this country-,and enter our
schools as an instructor, who is not a
citizen of thelunited states.is prepos
terous and uncalled for and unneces
sary,and contrary to the aim of the
constitution ot this land,for no person
can truly love this commonwealth
who does not have interest emit in it
to become,at the first opportiu ty,n
subject of the same.“to irsme do
uiestic tranquility, provide for the
common defcse,promote the gener
al welfare” demands a whole-heart
ed ness on the part of the subjects.
Wluit may we expe t when men
and women are allowed to enter the
work shop where the future Amer
ican citizens are in the pro ess of
making,and instruct the citizens to
he, when the instructor does not care
enuf for this country to l>eeome loyal
subjects.
We dare say that if all Europe
were searched that scarcely a hand
ful of teachers could he found who
are not devout subjects of the land
in which they are teaching. And that
is right and proper.
In time past you and I or our fore
fathers were newly landed foreign
ers seeking a home. We did not come
to concjitor a weaker race,but out of
the wilderness and spreading plain*
build a home for the free,of the free
and by the free.
To day there is ample room for all
who come with thatpurpoesin view,
but not an inch should there l>e for
those who co ne to make a home
who leave their heartsaud allegiance
in a foreign land.
