PROPORTION NATURALIZED AMONG FOREIGN BORN POPULATION 141 for the several countries of birth. The order of the different nationalities is practically the same in the two tables. In fact the identity is so close that the rank coefficient of corre- lation works out to the high figure of -+ -98. There are only three marked excep- tions out of the 27 countries. Syria moves up four places in Table 79 and France moves up three, while Jugo-Slavia moves down three ranks. The close correspondence between the percentages naturalized, as shown in the two tables for Syria and France, respectively, reveals the fact that these two exceptions are purely incidental. Not only is the somewhat lower proportion of males over 21 naturalized among the Jugo-Slavs unimportant because of their small numbers, but the disturbing influence of the lower figure on the averages discussed in the succeeding tables is insignificant. Thus, after removing the influence of children and married females, the relative progress of the different nationalities in the matter of naturalization is practically the same as when both sexes and all ages are included. We will proceed then to a further exammation of Table 78, keeping in mind that the conclusions reached apply to adult males as well as to the whole population. including women and children.

The percentage naturalized for the average North Western European is considerably higher than that for the average South, Eastern and Central European country. In the former case the percentages range between 42-1 p.c. and 86-4 p.c., and in the latter between 22-4 p.c. and 72-3 pe. Both the upper and lower limits are higher for the North Western European group. Thus, in so far as naturalization is an index, political assimilation has proceeded further in the case of the immigrants from the average North Western European country than for those from the average Sotth., Eastern and Central European country.
