This surrrlslna difference In favor ot tne children of the foreign-born population la due largely to the fact that their children live mainly In the northern ana wesiern states, where the public school system nas reached a higher degree of efficiency, while rest numbers of native whites live in me southern states where about 10 per cent are Illiterate. .... When the comparison In carried out by geographic divisions the percentage of il literates in the two classes in earn pan ii the countrv, except tne south Atlantic states, Is found to be much nearer the ssme. Yet even then In every region, ex cept the north Atlantic states, the literate children of Immlgranta are comparalively more numeroue than tnose or. native whltea. . . ... This Is partly explained tir tne immi grants love of cities and towns, wnne me native whites live more generally In the rural districts. Thtis In the north Atlantic division there are $.! native white chil dren 10 to 14 years of age, of whom I per cent live In cltlea having at least 2B,iO In habitants. On the other nand. among tne 713,170 white children 10 te 14 years of age born of foreign parents a. per cent live in similar cities.
