Such exploitation could be in some degree checked through the authorities assuming control, and especially by furnishing to the new arrivals abundant information and advice, acquainting them with the state of the labor market in different localities and at different times. It is for the authorities also to see that the transportation of newly arrived foreigners from place to place is rendered secure; to encourage their early instruction in the language and laws of the country and the ordinances of the city, along with enlightenment as to the resources in time of trouble, which lie open to the poorest, if they but know where to turn. In the first number of the _Immigrants in America Review_, the editor, Frances A. Kellor, points out what an unusual opportunity has been granted to America to formulate a definite program with reference to alien residents. Now is the time, she insists, to perfect laws, establish systems and improve conditions, when, owing to the European War, but few immigrants are arriving, and therefore, when no great rush of people demand expedients. "Now is the time to build, to repair, to initiate, so we may obviate the necessity for expedients." The writer shows that efforts ought to be directed along seven lines, and the work on these seven lines should be closely coördinated. 1. _Transportation_. The safe transportation of admitted aliens to their destination. 2. _Employment_. Security of employment, and adequate coördinated, regulated labor-market organization. 3. _Standards of living_. Making it possible for the immigrant to adopt and maintain better standards of living, by removal of discriminations in localities, housing and sanitation, and by preventing overcrowding. 4. _Savings_. Information regarding savings banks, loan funds, agricultural colonies, and legislation regarding the same. 5. _Education_. Reduction of illiteracy, the teaching of civics, and extension of opportunity of education and industrial training. 6. _Citizenship_. Higher and simpler naturalization requirements, and processes, and placing the legal status of the alien upon a just and consistent foundation. 7. _Public Charges_. National and state coöperation in the care of any who may become public charges. No one can suppose that every Greek boy desires to become a shoeblack, or that every Scandinavian girl is fitted for domestic service and for nothing else; that every Slavic Jewess should become a garment-worker; that every Italian man should work on the roads; that the Lithuanian and Hungarian, no matter what their training or their ability, should be compelled to go into the steel-rolling mills. All this because they land speaking no English, and not knowing how to place themselves in occupations better adapted to their inclinations and qualifications. No one knows how many educated and trained men and women are thus turned into hewers of wood and drawers of water, to the ruin of their own lives and the loss of the community.
