_Reasons for Concern._
I. * Do you think that immigration makes a very serious problem for
the United States? Why? Mention others who think differently. Why
do you not agree with them?
2. * Are there any foreigners in your neighborhood? What are they
and what can you do for them?
3. Do these immigrants long retain their foreign aspect and ways?
In what respects do they change most quickly?
4. What does Professor Mayo-Smith say about keeping American ideals
intact? Must Protestant Christianity be guarded?
II. _Threatening Changes._
5. In what respects has immigration since 1820 introduced
un-American standards?
6. * Have the average character and the plane of living of the
immigrants been raised or lowered by their coming here? Same as to
wages? As to intelligence?
7. * How are our public schools affected? Is there any menace to
our school system? Can we provide compulsory education for all the
children?
III. _Other Effects._
8. Do these new Americans learn to use the ballot rightly? Can they
learn?
9. Does their coming make genuine Christianity more or less
prominent in the national life? What effect does it have on Sunday
observance? Does it lessen or increase lawbreaking?
