More Children of Immigrants

washington. Oct. 17.-The census
oGlce has issued a statement giving
compilation oi>fg"res Guarding iliit-
eraCy amcng children - immigrants
ard children CT natives. The state
ment sa:s:
Confniug the comparison Of chill
dren between the ages CT 10 and il
years In the United States as a whole,
1856 per cent CT the native white
children Of native parents and Ssl
per cent CT the native white children
CT foreign born parents are able to
read and write. This surprising dif-
ference in favor Of the children o.
foreign born population is due
largely to the fact that the children
of the foreign born immigrants live
mainly in the northern and western
states. where the public school sys-
tens have alre ady reached high de-
gree Of efficiency. while great num-
bers Of native white children CT ma
tive parents live in the southern
states. and in that region about 10
per cent Ct such children are Hitter
ate. Whe- the comparison is car
ricd out by geographic divisions the
difference between the two classes
in each part Of the United States, ex-
Cept the South Atlantic states. Is
found to be much less than in the
whole country. Yet these figures in
dicate that in every region except the
North Atlantic states the literate
children of immigrant whites are
larger per cent Of the whole number
Of such children than the. literate
children Of native whites are OF all
children CT native whites. This is
Of immigrants and their children
mainly in the cities and towns,
while the native white children or
native parents live more generally In
the rural districts. Thus in the
North Atlantic division there are
996,s51 native white children, 10 TO
IA years of age and born Of native
parents. Of whom 80 per cent live in
cities having at least $4,000 inhabi-
tants. Among 713,770 native white
children, 10 to IA years Of age, and
born OF foreign born parents, who
live in the same group Of states, 62
per cent live in similar cities. There
i~ no reason to infer from the census
figures that the children OF illiterate
immigrants are constituting a perma-
nent illiterate class in the population
It will be noticed, however, that
the foregoing figures relate exclusive
ly to immigrants who have been In
the country long enough for their
children bern here TO have reached
the age Of 10 years. Whether among
the children CT immigrants who have
arrived since 1890 there is the same
eagerness TO acquire at least an ele-
mentary education 1t is still too early
TO determine from census figures.
