A SLOVAK MOTHER AND CHILDREN 



The Slovaks are an agricultural people, occupying all of northern Hungary except 

 Ruthenian territory. Nearly a half million of them have come to America, though many 

 return to Europe. They came so rapidly in the years before the war that whole villages 

 were all but depopulated, and wages increased ioo per cent in many places as a result of 

 their departure for America.
