The percentages for the Scandinavian ind Germanic peoples exceeded that for the British by less than 20 pe. Those for the Latin and Greek and Slavie groups were larger by 53 p.c. and 62 p-c. respectively. The osercentage for the North Western Europeans stands midway between those for the 3ritish and French. The South, Eastern and Central Europeans are obviously quite in a class by themselves, with a proportion under 10 years one-fifth larger than the French and three-fifths larger than the British. } Such facts are exceedingly important to the future population structure of Canada, as well as to its social and political well-being. The stocks mentioned as having the highest percentages under 10 years of age are among the most illiterate in the Dominion. They are backward in learning the languages of the country and in erhoo attendance. They segregate into colonies, and do not intermarry with the basic Canadian stocks. With one or two exceptions, they contribute more than proportionate numbers to our prisons and reformatories. Such considerations claim special attention because of the tendency in recent years for the South, Eastern snd Central European immigrants greatly to outnumber those from the North Western parts of the continent. So long as differential fertility rates persist and immigration does its part in keeping the age distribution favourable to fertility, the relative contributions of such stocks to future generations will continue to be somewhat is depicted in Tables 131 and 132. The subsequent analysis leads one to believe that liffering fertility is perhaps the most important cause of the variation in the percentages.
