2 SUMMARY OF DATA ON ORIGIN AND BIRTHPLACE . the light of sex distribution and infant mortality rates, suggests that the fertility of the Slavic, Latin and Greek stocks in Canada is much greater than that of the British. It appears also that the fertility of the French, German and Scandinavian stocks, though somewhat greater than that of the British, was not nearly so high as that for the South, Eastern and Central Europeans. The proportions of the several groups under ten years of age are shown in Chart 16. The seven origins with the largest proportions under ten and the seven with the smallest are as follows: — The Upper Group Origin Ukrainjan..........cooeveieviiiiniiiiin., Austrian. .....

In all cases the infant mortality rates are considerably greater than for the British. Both of these factors would make for smaller numbers of children. On the other hand, the age distribution of the adults is more favourable to fertility. While larger proportions of the men of British origin were away during the war, the differential effect of this cir- Cuart XVI PERCENTAGES or CHILDREN UNDER 10 YRS.or AGEor SPECI- FIED.

Consequently, differences due to war service may be neglected. Unfortunately the relative importance of high fertility cannot be isolated from the above data.
