especially on the recent case of Shulgasser. Jewish student at Butler College, who was threatened with deportation because, contrary to the privision of the law, he was earning money while making his way through college. Shulgasser’s deportation was stayed on the intervention of President Aley of Butler and other influential persons. Says the “Herald-Post”:

“Shulgasser, it would appear, is made of the kind of stuff that the best brand of American citizenship demands. He thinks enough of an education to struggle for it. If he were the wastrel son of a wealthy foreigner attending an American college, he wouldn’t be disturbed, but the hand of law reaches out for him because he shows ambition, industry and thrift. Thus are penalized the very virtues that are constantly dinned into the American youth. His deportation, instead of furthering, would defeat the intention of the immigration law to raise the standards of foreigners admitted.”
