college graduates to the mountain and
Pacific states stands first.
| A truer picture of this interstate mi
grafton is given when we take the vari-
GUS streams of migration, often m owing
in opposite directions and neutralizng
each other. This fuller picture is given
in the following table, which indicates
the movement from each to every other
section OF the country by giving tie
| percentage of all born in one section
who have settled in every other. For
lack of sufficient data the figures for the
| mourtail and Pacific states should p4
| overlooked.

OF the students of the various sec
tons, those in the middle Atlantic states
surpass the others in generally remain
ing in the section in which they were
born. A majority of students of south
ern birth settled permanently in other
sections. OF New England students
roughly one-half remain and one-half
move to another part of the country
One-quarter Of them go to the middle
Atlantic states, and one-eights further
west to the north central states: mere
handful move southwark. OF the stu
dents born in the middle Atlantic states,
a large majority, as was just pointed
out, remain there; of those that leave,
an equal fraction goes to the north cen-
trail states, and to New England. This
movement to New England Is more pro-
nounced in the case Of students born in
the north central states, per cent. Of
whom settle In New England; almost
twice as many Q5.S per cent? settle in
the middle Atlantic section. The very
pronounced movement away from the
south is also largely directed toward the
middle Atlantic section; those born
abroad also join in this movement. The
net result Of all these various move
ments Is a crowding of the college grad |
yates into that section, especially into
the neighborhood of New York city.
Whereas 3S per cent of the students of
the above ten years were born in the
middle Atlantic states, as per cent of
them have settled there. The typical
college graduate of to-day is no longer a !
scholar but a man of affairs, and he
tends to that section of tie country |
where the growth of population and |
of industries offer him the
greatest opportunity for usefulness and
success.
