NOT ~ Foreign a. They Seem.

In most OF the great cities OF the United States
the proportion of the population which is COM
posed OF two ciasscs-the foreign born and the
native born who are of foreign parentage-
looms tremendously large to the average Amer
lean who glances at the official figures.
one reads that in New York this part OF the
population is $50 per cent; that it is equally
great in Milwaukee; that In Chicago the foreign
born and the natiye-b0rn children Of foreign
born parents continue IT'S per cent of the whole
number Of Inhabitants and that In Cleveland the
proportion Is 14S per cent, lie finds in Boston

Ranging down from 7l3 per cent in Buffalo TO
o99 per cent in Newark 697 in Jersey city.
$50 per cent in san Francisco and 67.2 per cent
in Minneapolis.
But In vital point these figures do not
mean as much they seem 10 signify. They
are based upon the curious assumption that the
natite-born son or daughter OF parents, OF
who is natiVe-born and the other foreign born.
ought to be considered Of foreign rather than OF
native parentage.
There are great numbers Of Americana Of
such mixed parentage. and the majority OF
them have native born mothers and foreign
born fathers immigration being composed more
largely Of men than Of women. The ana
daughters Of these native born mothers grow
up under such influences and in homes so
dominated by American sentiment and American
conditions, as a rule that they arc as much

Gently published figures showing the causes Of
