Boston was at one time considered
the most distinctively American Of
the cities of the United States, but
that distinction exists no longer. The
last published report of the Boston
board OF health, a good guide TO the
division Of population. shows that
the number OF deaths for the week
was 237 as against 2O2 for the cor
responding week last year. OF the
number 233 were white and four col
ored; 146 were born in the United
States, IS in foreign countries and six
Of unknown nationality; AZ were Of
American parentage and 161 Of for
eign parentage. The increase in the
foreign-born population Of Boston is
mostly from Ireland, Canada and
Russia. The German population Of
Boston continues small.
