than 400 in 1915 About 81 per cent
of those who are between fifteen and
thirty years of age, and virtually all
take passage for America.
Notwithstanding the increased emf
grafton last year, a great number of
Swedish Americans who returned to
Sweden have been induced 70 remain
here, many having purchased farms,
while for Others places of work have
been obtained through the instrumental
to Emigration.
The endeavors Of this organization, of
which DIR. Adrian Molin is president,
are warmly supported by the govern
ment. Prince Carl, brother of the king,
addressed the associations ten wear in.

during fifty years, l,l73,000 Swedes en-
igrated, representing more than ono fifth
of the country's present population. In
a single decade, from 1881 10 1890 in
elusive, 376,40l persons left the country,
he said.
DR.. Molin described the associations
work. which included some
500 addresses at public meetings in l0lG,
and told Of the success in iindnig llaces
of lalor for returned emigrarts.
