Most Americans want to see the cx-

quarters. When provision was made in

Of South American countries are al

l 100000 In population between 1900 and
1910. and in three OF the States the
gain was under 10 per cent, in two of
those under per cent. In her total
gain of less than 900 900 between 1900
and 1910 New England included more
than $4,000 foreign immigrants.
Between the emigration of the native
population and the slow natural increase
of those left at home the entire growth
of New Englands population Is made
up OF foreigners or the native children
Of foreigners. Between 1890 and 1900
the population OF Massac husetts gained
a trhe less than $3.50 500, but the native
American Increase was only $4,000. and
part OF that was from interstate immi-
grafton. Between 1900 and 1910 Massa-
chusetts grew a trihe over SOL 900, but
the actual number OF foreign born in
creased by nearly 2l1.00O, while the
number of natives of foreign parentage
increased by more than 1876, 900 and of
mixed parentage by nearly 1900.
Meanwhile the back to the land NOVA
ment. which was expected to keen
native New Englnnders at home, has not
recorded Itself as positively as some
sanguine persons hoped In the census
returns OF 1910. There was an actual
loss between 1900 and 1910 OF some
thing over 5000 in the rural population,
while the urban population increased by
nearly 100000. and the area of i'm

Vermont as typical Of the evils attend
ant upon overemlgratlon: that rural
communities Of old native stock were
suffering from degeneracy. that families
were small and In many places social
conditions were morlbund. Vermont got
wind OF the report and the result was a
movement to improve conditions and at
the same time to show that the report
exaggerated the evil.
In 1900 Vermont had in a population
of about $4,000 who reported their ages

may be regarded as the normal age at
which emigration begins. and about 55,

Vermont may be seen by comparison
