Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Immigrants and Their Children, 1920, Vol. 7: A Study Based on Census Statistics Relative to the Foreign Born and the Native White of Foreign or Mixed Parentage When modern censuses began, the enumeration unit was the family or household, and the population was determined from the number of households and the number of persons in each. But for two generations the enumeration unit has been the individual, to whom a line on the schedule or a separate card or sheet is devoted and about whose characteristics many questions are asked. The answers state physical traits, like sex, age, and race; educational traits, like illiteracy or ability to speak English; and economic traits, like occupation or ownership of the home. Most of the tables which result from assembling the answers to these questions are necessarily underlain by the idea that the individual is, at least for census purposes, the unit out of which society or the State is constructed. More recently this one-sided individualism of the census tabulation has been supplemented by special studies of certain social groups. This began with the volume on Indians in the United States, which was a part of the census of 1890, and which was suggested, if not made necessary, by the fact that the Indians on reservations were then enumerated for the first time and apart from the general population census. The tendency was continued at the census of 1900 by supplementary studies of the census statistics of the negro and the negro farmer, of the family, and of teachers as an occupational class. The census of 1910 was left incomplete through the exhaustion of the appropriation and the only elaborate study of a social group which resulted from it was one on the negroes in the United States. For the census of 1920 a series of supplementary monographs was planned, some of which at least will be of the type described. The present study dealing with the foreign-born population and their American-born children is one of them. The group which Doctor Carpenter studies is very heterogeneous. In fact, our foreign-born population is a class the members of which have only one common characteristic and that a negative one, namely, that its members were not born in the United States. This heterogeneity has proved a serious obstacle to the analysis of the group. Indeed no conclusion stands out on the following pages more clearly than this, that little significant study of the statistics of the foreign born can be made until they are divided into more homogeneous groups by classifying them according to the country or district of birth.

This book was released on 2007-10 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of West Indian immigrants to the United States is generally considered to be a great success. Mary Waters, however, tells a very different story. She finds that the values that gain first-generation immigrants initial success--a willingness to work hard, a lack of attention to racism, a desire for education, an incentive to save--are undermined by the realities of life and race relations in the United States. Contrary to long-held beliefs, Waters finds, those who resist Americanization are most likely to succeed economically, especially in the second generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second wave of US immigration—from 1870 to 1920—brought over twenty-six million men, women, and children onto American shores. This in-depth study of the period underscores the diversity of peoples who came to the U.S. and highlights the significant shifts in geographic origins—from northern and western Europe to southern and eastern Europe—that occurred in the late nineteenth century and led to distinguishing between old and new immigrants. Thematic chapters provide an overview of the daily lives of these migrants, including distribution and settlement patterns, individual and family migrations, and permanent and temporary residency. Also discussed are demographics and characteristics of each ethnic group, as well as pressures to Americanize and other facets of adjusting to a new country and culture. An ideal source for students of American history and culture, this comprehensive work features over 40 engaging photos, a glossary of key terms, a chronology of events, and an extensive print and nonprint bibliography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the most comprehensive history of German migration to North America for the period 1709 to 1920 than has been done before. Employing state-of-the-art methodological and statistical techniques, the book has two objectives. First he explores how the recruitment and shipping markets for immigrants were set up, determining what the voyage was like in terms of the health outcomes for the passengers, and identifying the characteristics of the immigrants in terms of family, age, and occupational compositions and educational attainments. Secondly he details how immigrant servitude worked, by identifying how important it was to passenger financing, how shippers profited from carrying immigrant servants, how the labor auction treated immigrant servants, and when and why this method of financing passage to America came to an end.

Book excerpt: America meant "freedom" to the immigrants of the early 1900s—but a freedom very different from what they expected. Cities were crowded and jobs were scare. Children had to work selling newspapers, delivering goods, and laboring sweatshops. In this touching book, Newberry Medalist Russell Freedman offers a rare glimpse of what it meant to be a young newcomer to America.
