The Jewish outlook., 1906-12-28

Berlin is seen to contain the largest
number of Jews, amounting at the last
census to twenty-four per cent. or nearly
one-fourth of the entire Prusso-Jewish
population. This superiority was for
merly enioved by the Province Of Posen.
At the 1871 census, in fact, not only
Posen but also the provinces of Silesia,
Hesse-N Nassau, and the Rhineland each
contained more Jews than Berlin. In
Posen one of the oldest of Jewish dis
tricts in Germany, the number Of Jews
has declined considerably, amounting
now to less than one-half of the number
in 1871. Since the 1900 census, decreases
are noted in seven of the above districts
and increases in the remaining seven. On
the whole there are signs in Prussia not
of greater concentration than existed
heretofore, but Of migration OF the
Jewish population from the rural to the
larger industrial centers.
The Jewish outlook., 1906-12-28
Statistics of Jews
in Prussia and Servia

The results Of the Prussian census
which was taken on December LIST, 1905,
have been issued recently, and, so far as
they relate to the Jews, have been an
alyzed by DR.. Ruppin, of Berlin, secre-
tary of the German "Bureau fur Statis
tik der Juden." The number Of Jews
enumerated was 400, sol, an increase Of
1910, or forty-four per 1000 in the
preceding five years. This increase may
be compared with the seventy per 1000
in the case Of the Protestants, 1O2 per
1000 among Catholics, and 312 per 1000
