are in arresting. intermarriage between the white stocks is a matter .of opinion. They 
certainly exist, but there appears to be no method of isolating or measuring their influence. 
(2) Social and Cultural—One may include under this heading the general manner of 
life, social standards and ideals, customs and religions, ete. For some stocks these are very 
similar to those obtaming in ‘Canada, and in such cases assimilation by intermarriage is 
comparatively easy. For others, differences of this sort raise almost insuperable barriers 
which can only be lowered by a long and tedious process, for the simple reason that inter- 
marriage, the most potent agency of destroying them, tends to be precluded by their very 
existence. 
(4) Occupational —While occupation is not properly a characteristic of particular stocks, 
Canadian experience provides many illustrations of groups following certain occupations 
almost exclusively, and doing grades of work which the dominant stocks of Canada either 
avoid or are forced to relinquish. Occupational segregation is invariably a hindrance to 
intermarriage.
