The following statistics as to
illiteracy among immigrants to
this country have been compiled:
Passing on to the race items,
it appears that Scandinavian
immigrants are the best edu-
Gated, less than one in 100 of
them being illiterate. English
and Scotch immigrants come
next, with a little over one in 100
Of them unable to read anG
write. Of Irish immigrants 3.2
per cent. only were illiterate; of
French, SO per cent; of Ger
man, IL per cent. of Dutch and
Flemish, rs per cent. The ltal-
ian immigrants show the high
est proportion of illiterates, but
there is a marked difference be-
tween those from Northern and
those from Southern Italy, for
while Is in every 100 is the ILL
terate ratio among the former,
it is % in every 100 among tie
latter
