PERCENTAGE OF DIFFERENT ORIGINS IN LARGE CITIES 115 
of 28-10 p.c. in cities 25,000 and over, they are far above the general level for the group. 
Reference has been made to the large number of Jews among immigrants from Poland, but 
it is unlikely that any large numbers of Jewish origin declared themselves as of Polish origin, 
so that the high figure for the Polish stock cannot be attributed to the influence of an admix- 
ture of Jewish people who show such marked concentration in large cities. That this is s0, is 
borne out by the comparatively low figures for the Austrians and the Russians. Many 
immigrants from those countries, and especially the latter, are of Jewish extraction, and 
there is no reason why the Jews from Russia would call themselves of Jewish origin while 
those from Poland would claim to be of Polish stock. There is apparently a clear distine- 
tion between the Poles and the other Slavs in respect to their tendency to concentrate in 
the larger cities on the continent.
