This means that T.O per cent of our white people are either foreign born or one or both of their parents are foreign l.orn. According to the -census fiu-ures, the "typical -New Knprlander" is substantially foreign to the soil, either by birth or parentage. llere again the racial aspect of the question is complicated by the fact that in the "fi.reii;ii horn" contingent and this holds for those of "foreign parentage' are large numbers from Knglang. Scotland and Canada (the latter not including the l-'reneh-Ca nndia nsl and who are. therefore, ct hnologica lly allied to the "native stock" -New Knarla nders. 'I'he census docs rot recognize these distinctions, hut it is safe tn sav that more than one half of the .New Mug- j landers of today were either born In I alien lands or are the children of immigrants from those countries. When it comes to a study of the sil nation by states, even more startling contrasts are disclosed. In Massachusetts, for example, H6.S per cent of the population is of foreign origin, ns against SI. 9 per rent native born. In the rities the foreign element stands at ti8 per rent of the whole, while in the rural parts of the state the proportion is 5'!.5 per cent native born to 41.4 per cent foreign extraction. ! Rhode Island leads with 119.5 petcent of foreign origin in either the first or second generation, and even in "Yankee" Maine and Vermont the figuias are approximately 3.1 tier cent.

CHILDREN, AGES 7 TO 16, MUST ATTEND SCHOOL

Congress Passes Compulsory Law Which Affects District of Columbia. PARENTS MAY BE FINED Census to Be Taken to Protect Against Evasion by Parents or Foes of Measure. Rureaii of The Kourier, 215 (1 SI. N. W. Washington. Washington, Feb. 2. Congress has passed a new school attendance and compulsory education law for the District of Columbia. This new law will go into effect next fall. As a preliminary to its enforcement a complete census must, be taken next summer of all children from three to IS years old. The appropriation measure in conneetion must bo approved, but it is believed this will be taken rare of in tlm last deficiency bill before adjournment. March 4. This-roming census means that school officials will have approximate figures on increased en rolment approximately three years in advance, and that no children within the new compulsory ages, seven and sixteen years, can evade school attendance. It will be kept up to date by a force of special employes provided under the 'teachers' salary bill. Ilitrh Spots of I.aw. Here are the high spots of this new legislation, as compared with the old District attendance law: Age limits: Old law. S to 14; new, 7 to 1. Educational standard: Old law. none; new law. a child must finish the 8th grade or stay in school un til his Kith birthday, lie may quit at 14 if he has passed the Sth grade. and is "actually, legally and regular ly employed." Attendance records: Old law. none required, except by Board of Education rules in public schools; ne'w law, daily record required of teachers in public, private and parochial schools, and by every private teacher. Absence reports: Old, law, none required of private or parochial schools, or private teachers; new law, required of all schools. Action by attendance officers: Old la.w, after absence three successive sessions; new law. two full-day sessions or lour half-day sessions in any month. Fines For Parents. The new law also fixes a fine of $10 or five-day jail sentence, as punishment for parent, guardian or other person who has charge of a child unlawfully absent, each two days a child stays away from school to constitute a separate offense. It transfers inspectors under the child labor law from supervision of the police department to the Board of Kducation. which shall appoint them. Attendance officers will be appointed on merit following competition examinations. of course, familiar. The most noteworthy thing about these groups is that to a large extent they retain their national- rhararteritics and "sticky together," generation after genration, forming people within a people, as it were. "The .Meltng Vol" is a term for which a world influx is indebted to Israel Zangwill, the novelist. It was enthusiastically adopted by our native people and seemed to presage a blending, an amalgamation, of those differing elements in a new nation that should combine the good features of the constituent factors while eliminating the bad. It seemed a word i so numane. so rrtenoiy. so promising. that America clasped it to her heart as a pearl of great price. Refuse to Fuse. The new hit of verbal coinage was given a place of honor in our. general vocabulary. However, so far as New Kngland is concerned, "The .Melting Pot" is far indeed from producing the final brew dreamed of. The various nationalities which have been flowing into these states have, in large part, refused to fuse. They appear not to want to blend with one another and, in addition, the "native stock" has steadfastly declined to admit any alien to anything like social relationship. There are some exceptions. The Knglish, the Scotch, the Canadians are pretty thoroughly absorbed into the community. Racial affinities arrount for this. Rut the others have the tendency to "flock by themselves." and seem disposed to continue so to flock indefinitely. Only recently President Eliot started a wide discussion on the question whether or not the Irish in this coun try have been assimilated-when he asserted thntthey had not. This dis cussion still rages. Of the foreign born group, the Irish lead in num bers. Certainly this group has brought with it to this country a religion which differs much from the religion of the native stock. Language of Their Own. 1 he second great group of the new "New Englanders" the Canadian French, are inclined to live strictly by themselves. They, too, have their own religious and other interests, and in addition, speak their own language to a large extent. Large numbers 6f them are migrants, coming and going between the mills of the great textile centers and the northern farms. The Italians are prone to maintain their racial grouping, and are bound together by a common religion and language. There is,- however, among these people a greater disposition to become "Americanized" and to take a more active part in the world of i n im ir i. . v-0thMSbM!S OtKer35

Rome Opposed

HTHE Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York city, as it will appear when completed. Opening with a huge mass meeting which filled Madison Square Garden Sunday, January 18, a campaign is now on to raise $15,000,000 to complete this magnificent Cathedral which has been under actual process of construction since the laying of the cornerstone in 1892. $5,000,000 already have been invested, various parts being built as funds were available. This drive, however, is the first conceited effort to obtain funds

to bring the Cathedral to a additional standing room for

New York what St. Paul s is to London and Notre Dame to Paris. The Roman Catholic hierarchy is combatting the completion of St. John the Divine insofar as it may. The Romans have started a counter drive for $5,000,000 to go toward alleged Home Missions, and a leading papal organ, America, came out in its issue of Jan. 25 and forbid Romanists from contributing to the funds by simply saying that no genuine Catholic would do so.

"TO DISTILL WATER," IS RAIDED PRIEST'S ALIBI Sccelal to The Kn-.irler.) Salt Lake City, I tab, Feb. Deputy sheriffs raided the residence of the Rev. M. F. Sheehan. rector of St. Patrick's Catholic church, and seized fifteen gallons of wine and a small still. No complaint had been issued against Father Sheehan who said he held a state permit for wine and that the still was used for distilling water. their .fellows of oilier races than in the case of the French-Canadians. The Connecticut Valley has seen the invasion of the Voles, and in many a historiiMNcw England village the Vole is kept his distance by the original inhabitants. Jews Not Classed. The census makes no compilation of .lews, as such. Immigrants of that race are listed as nationals of the countries from which they come. There is no official method of determining their precise number. Rut in that part of the report devoted In religious statistics it appears that there are .ri4,722 of the Jewish faith in New England as against T13.722 listed as ITnitarians and 4521. who are mem bers of the F.astcrn Orthodox, the Russian and Greek churches. As is their age-long custom, the Jewish people are disposed to merge with the community in which they find themselves. There is considearhle intermarriage, and social contact is close. In fact, it would probably he much closer were it not for the' prejudice also of ancient standing shown toward them by other groups, which fieviently results in exclusion. Prefer Segregation. Sociological observers in our Title? are laminar wmi i.m- o"1""" aliens therein established and which remain segregated in spite of all ef forts to disperse them: the negroes, the Chinese, the Syrians, the Greeks, and others. And yet all these must be counted on the roll ot New englanders."

Different today. There are almost asmany religions as mei .uc ni tiofialities, and the ecclesiastical or ganization, the Koman iiunonc church, now donHmues. numerically. The succesor of the old orthodox church, the Congregational, is in second place. According to the T 'nited States census, the total membership of all denominations in New Kngland is 3,657,943. This, it will be noted, is a little less than one-half the total population. In point of numbers they ran as touows: Roman Catholics. Congregationalists Baptists Mehodists Fpiscopalians ....

hasty completion. It will seat 40,000. It is pointed out that sundry others, whose grand total does not reach 1 r.n.OiMi. When one comes to "take stock" in this matter the increasing diffietiliy of describing a "typical New Knglander" becomes more and more a p pa rent. The more the existing situation is studied, the more certain does it become that such tin individual does not exist. The few traits which the residents of New England do have in common hardly serve to distinguish ! them from the residents of New York, the Middle West or the Pacific Slope. Peculiarities of speech, except in remote country districts, have vanished. The accent of Washington street does not differ from that of Pennsylvania avenue or Market street. The pattern of hats and neckties is the same in Rangor, Me., jtnd Davenport, la. The once strongly individualized Back Bay, the "thin blue line." can be duplicated a dozen times all over the country.- - The W hite mountains, the lakes and rivers of New England continue to exert their special charm, but the peculiar people who once distinguished this region from the rest of the world, are no longer to be found. Several racial groups, each having the tendency of standing aloof from the others and isolated from the whole, constitute its society. GRANT MORE QUIET THAN THE PRESIDENT Washington, Feb. 2. If President Coolidge attends the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington on April 19, he will have ditliculty in maintaining his reputation for taciturnity against the record set fifty years ago by President Grant. At the centennial celebration in 1875, President Grant, who attended with his entire Cabinet, made the shortest speech of the celebration. When the President rose to speak, he was greeted by an outburst of applause and cheering. When the disturbance subsided, the President said in full: "1 thank you."

The Republican committee on Committees of the House has called a caucus of House Republicans for Friday night, Feb. 27 in Washington, to decide on their candidates for Speaker and floor leader. The fixing of this date is said to be agreeable to the forces of both Representative Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio, and Representative Martin Madden, of Illinois, who are candidates for the speakership. Under a resolution adopted by the committee, all Republicans who have been elected to the next congress will be invited to be present and par ticipate. No action was taken as to whether LaFolette insurgents should be invited to attend or not. There were indications, however, that a move would be made either before the caucus meets or after it gets under way "to bar the Wisconsin delegation and perhaps one or two other Representatives from that and all other conferences.
