FIGURES
Illiteracy Among Children Of I'M
migrants and Natives.
Between the Age of 10 and IA s5.6 Per
Cent. of Children of Native Par
ents and 9e.1 of Foreign Born
Can Read and Write.

Washington, Oct. 27.-The census Of
fee has issued a statement giving a
compilation of figures regarding illit-
eracy among children of immigrants
and children of natives. The state
ment says:
Confining the comparison to children
between the ages of 10 and IA years
in the United States as whole $3.50
per cent. of the native white children
of native parents and 99.1 per cent.
of the native white children Of foreign
born parents are able to read and
write This surprising difference is
due largely to the fact that the chill
dren Of foreign born immigrants live
mainly in the northern and western
states where the public school system
have already reached high degree of
efficiency. while great numbers Of ma
tive parents live in the southern
states and in that region about 10 per
cent. of such children are illiterate.
When the comparison is carried out
by geographic divisions the difference
of the United States, except the South
Atlantic states, is found to be much
less than in the whole country Yet
these figures indicate that in every re.
giOn except the North Atlantic states
the literate children of immigrant
whites are a larger per cent. of whole
number of suca children than the lit.
crate children of native whites are of
all children Of native whites.
This is partly explained by the clus-
tering of immigrants and their chill
dren mainly in the cities and towns,
while the native white children of ma.
tive parents live more generally in t1e
rural districts. Thus in the North At
lantic division there are 996,S51 ma
tive white children, 10 to IA years of
age and born Of native parents, of
whom 80 per cent live in cities hav-
ing at least $4,000 inhabitants. On
the other hand, among the 713,170 ma.
tive white children 10 to IA years of
age and born of foreign born parents
who live in similar cities. There is
no reason 20 infer from the census fig
ures that the children of illiterate i'm.
migrants are constituting a perma-
nent illitreate class in the population.
1t will be noticed, however, that the
foregoing figures relate exclusively to
immigrants who have been in the
country long enough for their children
born here to have reached the age Of
10 years. Whether among the chill
dren Of immigrants wao have arrived
since 1890 there is the same eager
ness to acquire at least an elementary
education it is still too early to deter
mine from census figures.

BRUNSWICK, GA. FLOODED.
The Center of the City Is Entirely
Under Water.

Brunswick, Ca, Oct. 27.-As a re-
suit of continued heavy rains for the
past 4S hours five blocks in the center
of this city were under water Sunday
night and considerable damage has
been done from Monk street to Mans
field On Newcastle street, one of the
principal blocks in the city, the water
has risen into the stores and is from
10 to 3 inches deep. The city fire
department house is under water. The
jails are both flooded and from Bay
to Union streets, a distance of a quar-
ter of a mile, traffic is impossible.
The Brunswick Electrical Supply
Co. has been put entirely out of bust
ness by the water and not a light fur
nished by that concern was burning
Sunday night.
A heavy northeaster has been pre-
vailing for two or three days and the
only reason assigned for the downpour
by mariners and nautical people gen
orally is that these gales contributed
their share to the deluge. Railroad
traffic has been badly interfered with
and washOuts are reported on the
Southern between Brunswick ana
Jesup and on the Brunswick & Birm-
ingham. All mails are belated.
