CENSUS OF CHILDREN.

10 the country Most Of the illiterate immigrants
come from countries which do not possess. or when
these immigrants were young did not possess, an
efficient common school system. whether llhSerate
immigrants constitute menace depends in part
upon the avidity and success with which they or
their children seize the opportunities for education
open to them in this country.
Figures iust compiled in the Census ONCE throw
some light upon this The proportion Of white
children born Of foreign born parents and able to
read and write may be compared with the proper
ton of white children born of native parents and
possessing the like ability. Conining the compari-
son TO children between the ages of ten ana four
teen it appears that I'm the United States as
whole. $50 per of the native white children OF
native parents and 99l per cent OF the native
white children of foreign born parents are able TO
read and write This surprising difference in favor
of the children Of the foreign born population Is
due largely the fact that the children "t the
foreign born immigrants live mainly In the North
ern and Western States. where the public school
systems have already reached a high degree OF
efficiency, while great numbers of native white
children of native parents live in the Southern
States and in that region about 10 per cent of such
children are iliterate. To make a fair comparison.
therefore it is necessary to examine the facts by
