"The German, the Irishman, and the

the revolution the American people,
not only because of their surroundings,
physical and spiritual, but because of
the mixture of blood that had already
begun to take place, represented q new
and distinct ethnic type. This type has
never been fixed in blood. All through
the colonial days new waves of immi-
grafton from time to title swept hither
across the ocean, now from one cuntry,
To- from another. The same thing
has gone On ever since our birth as a
nation; and for the last sixty years the
tide of immigration has been at the
full. The newcomers are DON absorb.
ed into our eager national life, and are
radically and profoundly changed there,
by, the rapidity of their assimilation
being marvellous. But each group of
newcomers. as it adds its blood to
the life, also changes it somewhat, and
this change and growth and develop
