For in stance, Hie mill which I ?as connected before I came South, the Berkshire Manufacturing Co.. of Massachusetts, employed one hundred Polanders. who : didn't know a word of English. These j operatives had to bc taught before they i knew anything, and I think no one would hesitate long in making a choice between these two.
