IMMIGRATION AND
THE MELTING POT

No migration of humanity the
world has ever known has equalled
that which set in in 1882, and still
continues, with North America as the
objective point, says the Christian
Science Monitor. Previous to the
year named the number of immi-
grants to the United States annually
had not exceeded $1,000. In 1880 and
1881 the number each year was below
$4,000. In 1882 it rose to $4,000. 1t
rose and fell from this ton until, in
1854, it passed the 100000 mark. In
the early years of the Civil War it
fell to less than 10000 but from this
on its general tendency was upward
until 1t reached 623, 00o in1892. After
that there was some decline, but in
1900 it began to climb again and the
number of foreigners arriying in 1907
was l,2S5,349. The totaA from the
year first named to LAST year was
more than 2S,500,o0O for she United
States alone Canada isI receiving
now. from European countfies at the
rate of over 100000 immigrants a
year. In round figures, the immi-
grants to the United States; and Can
ada will average at present over L.
000, 600 a year.
1t is something of task to provide
for these strangers materially, but
the two english-speaking nations of
the continent are doing it,Sand where
proper distribution of the new arriv-
ais takes place, they are doing it
we'll Even in the congestad districts
of the great cities there has been no
serious lack of employment in recent
years, and nothing bordering upon alb
ject poverty among those willing and
able to work. Generally speaking, the
industries of the United States and
Canada have absorbed the immigrants
as fast as they have arrived.

returned to haunt the dreams Of the
loyalis:s. 1t was at about this time
that a correspondent Of the New York
Tribune reported q direct attack on
Washington impossible After care
full examination he stated that the I'm
ion people did not realize the strength
Of the chain Of forts about the CAPT
tai. He surmised that the Confeder'
ate commanders had good idea Of
these defenses, however. and for that
reason they would never attack. He
also came to the conclusion that the
army at Manassas was not intended
to take the offensive. 1t was there
to defend the road to Richmond The
most it hoped to do was to provoke
an attack, not to make one. We now
know that this surmise was true only
IN part, bat at the time 1t served to
reassure the north. Color was lent
to It by the fact that on Sept. q. the
Confederates abandoned Munson's hill,
and two days later 1t was occupied by
the Federals. Z
Arrest of Maryland Legislators. !
Thus ended the fear of a direct at
tack on Washington. fear for which
there had never been any considerable
ground. The danger of an invasion OF
Masyiand was more real, however, as
subsequent statements have shown.
General Beauregard many years after
the war said that his plan was to cross
the Potomac above Washington and
had he been supported by. Davis and
Johnston the movement doubtless
would have been made.
In September Washington learned
that the Maryland legislature was to
be convened on the 18th at Frederick
and pass an ordinance Of secession. the
southern army crossing the river from
Virginia to support this move. If nee
essary. At that time the secession ele-
ment controlled nearly two-thirds or
both houses. 1t was because Of this
report that many Of the secession
members were arrested. On Sept. Is
the Union members refused to meet
and departed for their homes. thus
practically ending the session.
General Mcclellan was active in all
these moves and regarded the danger
as imminent. Two of McClellan's let
ters at this time are of interest. On
Sept. % he wrote:
"He (the PRESIDENT sent carriage
for me to meet him and the cabinet at
General SCOTS office. Before we got

the northern armies, and nearly one
third Of these were in the Army Of the
Potomac. which had now become the
largest. best drilled and most impos-
ing body of troops ever assembled up
to that time on American soil. No won

Iery of the Army of the Potomac. The
growth of these two arms Of the serv-
ice was a revelation to the country.
Even as late as September the uni
forms of the soldiers on both sides
were variegated. The zouaves-and
there were regiments Of these in both
armies-had one kind of uniform, the
regular army another. and there were
variations among the volunteers from
the several states-s each state furnish
ing perhaps a different pattern. Gen
eraI McCleIian's order that there were
to be no more gray uniforms In the
Army of the Potomac had done some
thing to correct the trouble. but there
was still danger of confusion.
On the southern side the variety of
dress was even greater than with the
north. While the Confederate con-
gress had prescribed gray, the troops
procured whatever garb they could.
Early in the war many of the southern
officers who had previously belonged
to the regular army wore their old
uniforms. At Bull Run several Con-
federate regiments were in civilian
dress. Gradually. however. the matter
of uniform was corrected. until the

Dental Work.

| DR. Dolliver, the visiting dentist, re-
iports the following work accomplished
in his department. Patients examined
as admitted $40; teeth and roots ex-
l,tracted, 313; teeth filled, PSI; teeth
ttreated, "a; mouths cleaned, Garter
lremoved), Il.
| The mouths of old patients have
been examined at regular intervals
Iduring the year and | find them in a
llfar healthier condition than previous
TO the work of this department. This
is due to the extraction of badly de-
cayed teeth and abcessed roots and
putting the mouth in as eleanly state
as possible.
Training School for Nurses.
| The training school for nurses has
Ibeen carried on in conformity with the
plans outlined in last years report.
Ian additional course of two lectures
has been given this year To all at
PENDANTS as well as the pupils of the
training school. These lectures were
for the purpose of giving those who
had direct care of the patients a gen
leral idea of their relationship to the
patients, their duties and responsible
ties, and to enable them to interpret
more intelligentaly and sympatheti-
lcally the various manifestations of
abnormal mental action with which
Ithey came in contact. The following
members of the class of 1911 are to
receive their diplomas at the gradual
| ing exercises next month: Gertrude
G.. Curran, Pauline w. Doe. Jean A.
Mcdonald, Anna r. Mclaughlin, Mary
A. Ormond and Mae Violet Prescott
The number of attendants has been
materially reduced so that the relative
proportion of nurses and attendants
to patients is now upon a normal
basis. Exclusive of our criminal in
sane department, where a full force
of six attendants is required for our
present population of 26 patients, our
full quota of supervisors, nurses and
attendants is as follows:
