148 THE NATURALIZATION OF IMMIGRANT PEOPLES average country in the lower half of the table was only 39-4 p.c. When the proportions of 40-5 p.c. urban for the average country in the upper section, and 55.9 p.c. urban for the average country in the lower section, are compared with the averages for Column 1, & high percentage naturalized (65.0 p.c.) is associated with a comparatively small percentage urban (40-5 p.c.) and a low percentage naturalized (39-4 p.c.) with a high percentage urban (55:9 p.c.). Of course, there are many exceptions where extraneous forces arrest or intensify the operation of urban influences on naturalization. There seems to be little doubt, however, that, on the whole, the tendency has been for the countries whose immigrants have shown a higher percentage living in urban districts in Canada, to have a smaller proportion naturalized and vice versa. This conclusion seems to go hand in hand with the thesis established in the earlier part of this section that urban life per se is comparatively unfavour- able to naturalization.

At first glance it may appear singular that in every country except Iceland and Syria a arger proportion of the females than of the males have become Canadian citizens. Yet shat is only to be expected. The foreign born females in Canada over 15 years of age show a percentage married some 17 p.c. greater than do the males of the same age group, and it is zenerally conceded that married immigrants with homes and families are much more sermanent settlers and should normally show a higher percentage naturalized. It is to be semembered also that females are naturalized by the mere fact of marriage with a Canadian citizen. A word in reference to the two exceptions mentioned above will not be out of place. The case of the Syrians is unimportant, for their numbers are very small in Canada, but she figure for the Icelanders, showing a smaller proportion of females naturalized than of males, is remarkable. It is recalled, however, that Icelandic immigration is unique in other respects and in particular as to the relative number of males and females in the population. [t is the one important country from which the numbers of females in Canada was greater in 1921 than the number of males. That being the case, there is probably a small surplus of unattached females which accounts for the lower percentage of that sex naturalized, just
