6 DISTRIBUTION OF STOCKS BY LENGTH OF RESIDENCE
much lower than the 54 p.c. for the Slavic group. Indeed, as a group, the Latins and
Greeks, the Portuguese and Spanish excepted, show the largest percentage born across the
seas, the Slavs ranking second. The proportions of these latter groups born in the
United States are very small. There is one exception, however, among the Slavs,
viz., the Czechs, of whom 44 p.c. were Canadian born and 11.81 p.. were born in the
United States, making a total of nearly 56 p.c. born on this continent. Almost twice as
large a proportion of the Czechs as of any other Slavic people have come from the United
States. The Russians and Serbo-Croatians are the only Slavic peoples beside the Czechs
who show anything but an insignificant proportion of United States birth.
There are grounds, therefore, for a general distinction between the groups of origins
on the basis of the time of coming to this continent, though no clear demarcation
on the basis of Canadian birth alone seems justifiable. The Scandinavian and Germanic
stocks and those from the north and west of Europe generally, constitute the older settlers,
while the Latin, Greek and Slavic peoples and those from the south, centre and east of
Europe, are on the whole more recent arrivais, It must be kept in mind, however, that
even on this broader basis there are exceptions. The Belgians are decidedly of the new
immigration, the few Spanish and Portuguese are of the old, and certain Slavic stocks, such
as the Czechs, Russians, Poles and Austrians, show almost as small a percentage born
outside Canada and the United States as some of those classed among the older immigrants.
The Asiatic group is unique with 18-04 p.c. Canadian born, +05 p.c. United States born
and 81-48 p.c. born in the East. It shows much the smallest proportion Canadian and
United States born of any group and by far the largest percentage born in foreign lands.
