OUR AMERICAN BOYS AND GIRLS
ARE NOT THE BEST STUDENTS

the American parent.
Here are some figures: Bos-
ton, with ~ per cent of her pop
ulation alien, carries "a per cent
of her children through the
grades, while Baltimore with
only 3S per cent of her population
alien, carries only 20 per cent of
her children to a satisfactory
point. Chicago, with an alien
population of n per cent, carries
So per cent of her children
through the eight grades, while
New Orleans, with only 81 per
cent of her population alien,
treats only 81 per cent Of her
children as she should.
New York, with it's II per cent
of foreigners, puts 43 per cent of
her children through the elemen-
tary course.
'"There are i'm this country"
added Ayres, ''about three times
as many illiterate American born
children of American parents as
American born children of foreign
parents.
1.-THE immigrant certainly does
send his children to school and
his children learn to read and
write more universally than do
the native children.
THE immigrant, then, is not
the cause of poor showings of
school systems. I have figures
from 80 cities, giving the percent
age of backward children in the
schools. l find that the cities hav-
ing the fewest backward children
are those having the greatest for
|eign population, while those hav-
ing the most backward children
have a larger American popula-
ton.
ut seems to me these figures
mean we must face the immigrant
problem bravely; to call immi-
grants 'ignorarr foreigners will
not help us nor are we justified
in using the term.
when the white man first
came to these shores the Ameri-
can Indian tried to deal with the
Immigrant problem in his own
way, and failed. We will fail
unless we meet the problem hon
estly. To do this we must not
delude ourselves into the belief
that the immigrant is to blame
for school ineffecctiveness."

NEW YORK, March 28.-Hats
off the the immigrant boy and girl
In the American school!
The children who stand at the
head of their classes are not
Americans. Cold figures show
how wrong are school authorities
who blame the showing of their
poor school systems to immi-
grants.
Leonard P. Ayres, associate d.
rector of the department of child
hygiene of the Russell Sage foun-
dalton, who has been startling ed
ucators by his revelations of con-
ditions in American schools, to
aid in the general effort of all
educators to find out what is the
matter with our elementary edu-
cational system. has gained some
astonishing facts about the abili-
ties of the children of immi-
grants.
What Is the effect of a large
foreign population on the showing
a school system makes?" l asked
Ayres.
Wait a minute" he said. 81
don't want you to put me in the
light of arguing one way or the
other for immigration. I'm will
ing to tell the facts about immi-
grant children, with that under
standing.
ut is unfair to the immigrant
to accuse him of being the cause
of the bad records of the school
in some of our large cities. It's
also unfair to the taxpayer and
to the people,"
But does the immigrant send
his children to school at all if he
can avoid it " l asked.
That's a wrong idea" he re-
piled. 81 have figures to show he
does. These figures are not any
credit to some of the school au-
thorities who have recently been
trying to defend their school sys-
TENS.
I'm 1909 So per cent of the
country's native white children of
American parentage from 5 to Is
years of age were in school,
while 70 per cent of those of for
eign parentage were in school.
This means that the immigrant
is a little more anxious to have
his children go to school than is
