The number of separate schools in a foreign language so far as 

 reported is eighty, and here, too, it is safe to say that the actual 

 number is much larger. 



EXPLANA riON. 



The spaces indicating settlements are in many cases too small to 

 admit a complete description of the inhabitants, and accordingly they 

 have been marked by races rather tlian by nationalities and tribes. 

 Wherever reports indicate that the foreign settlers are interspersed 

 with native Americans the territory is gridironed. About large cities 

 the grouping of colors makes no attempt to indicate the quarter in 

 which the various nationalities are situated. "German " is made to 

 do duty for all inhabitants of Ciermany whether Low or High, as well 

 as for Austria. German Swiss, and Russo-German Mennonites. The 

 last are reported simply as Mennonites, but are, I believe, in all cases 

 of German origin. " Skandinavian " is used instead of Swede, 

 Norwegian and Dane, because in some cases the distinction was not 

 made in the reports, and in order to limit the number of colors on 

 the map. In the case of Scotch I have been unable to secure infor- 

 mation whether they are Highlanders or Lowlanders, and in case of 

 Irish, to what extent, if at all, they speak the old Irish language.
