Nearly 10,000,000 Americana Can't

about 10,000,000, or more than one-tenth
of our population over 10 years old.

ber greater than the whole population
of Canada greater than the whole
population of tbe south in the civil
war; greater than the combined popu
latlons of 15 of our states. And of
this . number, fully half can neither
read, writs nor speak English. In
some cities, such as Passaic N. J., or
Fall River, Mass., these strangers
number a sixth or more of the pop
ulation.
If thla enormous population, alien In
speech or literature or custom, were
merely "a population," -merely living
among us, that would be one thing to
think about. But all of this 10,000,000
are also working among us, trying to
build some kind of life for themselves.
And In so doing, they have brought
themselves into closer relationship with
us than we are often willing to admit,

to collapse of the lungs."
