52 DISTRIBUTION OF STOCKS BY LENGTH OF RESIDENCE Owing to changes in national boundaries, referred to above, and the consequent difficulties of getting separate statistics on countries of birth corresponding to present political divisions, only a very small proportion of the Slavs appearing in earlier census snumerations could be allocated to their present national groups. It was thus considered impracticable to attempt a Slavic classification. Finally, turning to Table 24, giving a summary by specified groups of countries of birth, several general points of comparison are worthy of emphasis. . First, between 1901 and 1911 the percentage increase of those bom in South, Eastern and Central Europe was twice as great as that for the group of nations of the north and western parts of the continent. The percentage increases for both the Slavie and Latin and Greek groups were marked and made a very high total increase for the South, Eastern and Central European born. While the rate of increase of the foreign born Scandinavians in that decade was almost twice as great as that for North Western Europeans as a whole, the addition to the foreign born Germanic people in Canada was only a little more than half the proportion for the North Western Europeans. The United States born increased about as rapidly as the North Western Europeans in the first ten years of the century. In the second decade the rates of growth show heavy declines. The United States born registered an advance of 23-16 p.c.; the South, Central, and Eastern’ European showed a 15-41 pec. increase, and the Latins and Greeks and Scandinavians came next in order with increases of 6:46 and 5-81 p.c., respectively. Mention has been made of the actual decline in the numbers of the North Western European and Germanic groups in this period. In conclusion, a striking comparison is presented by referring these percentage changes in foreign born to the rate of population growth in the country as a whole. Between 1901 and 1911 the number of foreign born Latins and Greeks resident in Canada increased over 8 times as rapidly as the total population; the foreign born South, Eastern and Central Europeans and the foreign born Scandinavians 7 times as rapidly, the North Western European and United States born at nearly four times the rate, while those born in Germanic and Asiatic countries showed over twice the percentage increase. In the decade 1911-1921 the situation was entirely changed. Only the increase in the United States and Asiatic born was as great as the increase in the population as a whole. In many cases the number foreign born actually deélined.

The Russians were the most numerous of those reporting at the census as having come to Canada before 1901. Indeed, for every period except the years 1919 and 1920, Russia heads the list. This fact seems to indicate that during the last generation Russia has sent a larger number of permanent settlers to Canada than any other Furopean continental country. Austria is well up among the first seven countries until the period of the war, and by 1921 reappears
