34 DISTRIBUTION OF STOCKS BY LENGTH OF RESIDENCE The total for the North Western European group was 21.20 p.c., while that for the South, Eastern and Central Europeans was 14.35 p.c. ‘Thus, from the standpoint of the per- centage of the foreign born in Canada who had arrived prior to 1901, confirmation is given to the previous conclusion that the North Western Europeans as a group were older immigrants than those from the South, Eastern and Central parts of Europe. While such a generalization may be true as applying to the broad sections of Europe, among the south, eastern and central peoples, there were several countries with larger percentages. Of the foreign born Galicians of Canada, 16 p.c. arrived before 1901, of the Austrians and Russians over 17 p.c. and of the Czechoslovakians, 12 pc. The percentage of the Poles arriving before 1901 was considerably lower than that of the other important Slavie peoples. Totals for the linguistic groups show that a larger percentage of the Buropean born Germanic peoples had arrived in Canada prior to 1901 than obtained for the Scandinavian group. The percentages for both of these groups, however, were higher than those for either the Slavs or the Latins and Greeks. From the proportions of the foreign born who had arrived prior to 1901, one is justified in concluding that of the immigrants of this generation the Germanic peoples were earlier arrivals than the Scandinavians, and the Slavs than the Latin and Greeks. A detailed examination of these two tables will reveal many other interesting facts.
