the population as a whole, which implies that unduly large numbers of women as compared 
with men from those countries were living in rural parts. Among the linguistic groups the 
Scandinavians show the greatest difference, while those from Slavic countries show the 
smallest. The surpluses for the Germanic and Latin and Greek groups are practically equal.

THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE DIFFERENT STOCKS CONGREGATE IN 
LARGE CITIES 
Table 56 shows the proportions of specified stocks in the eighteen Canadian cities with 
a population of 25,000 and over. Unfortunately the data for the foreign born are not con- 
veniently available, so attention is confined in this subsection to distribution of population 
by origins. 
The second column of Table 56 arranges the proportion of the specified stocks in order 
of magnitude. A rough calculation from the recent census shows that approximately 25 p.c. 
of the population lives in cities of 25,000 and over in Canada. Ten of the stocks listed show 
a more marked tendency to concentrate in the large cities. Of all origins the Jewish is most 
urban; 84:06 pc. of the Jews live in cities of over 25,000 inhabitants, a percentage exceed- 
ing that forthe next highest stock, the Greeks, by approximately a third. The Hebrews had 
about three and a half times as large a percentage in large cities in Canada as had the 
population as a whole; the Italians almost twice. The percentages for the Chinese, Syrians 
and Japanese range from 44-87 down to 29-52. The Asiatics in Canada are thus abnormally
