Our Immigration During 1904 



27 



to the Iberic races of southern Europe 

 (principally south Italian) and Slavic 

 races of eastern Europe, including Mag- 

 yars from Hungary. Of the great bulk 

 of immigration going to New York 34 

 per cent is south Italian and 23 percent 

 Hebrew. Other Eastern and Southern 

 States and Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri 

 get large percentages of immigrants be- 

 longing to the Iberic and Slavic divis- 

 ions. Louisiana is conspicuous because 

 of heavy percentage of south Italians. 



Teutonic division: The Northwestern 

 States get heavy percentages of immi- 

 grants of Teutonic blood from northern 

 Europe, the States of Michigan, Min- 

 nesota, North and South Dakota, Iowa, 

 Kansas, Nebraska, and Utah each re- 

 ceiving from 65 to 90 per cent of immi- 

 grants of this class. 



Celtic division : New England and 

 some of the Southern States show mod- 

 erate proportions of immigrants of the 

 Celtic division. This class of immi- 

 grants, however, is most conspicuously 

 represented in the Southwest and Rocky 

 Mountain regions. 



Mongolic division: Most of the immi- 

 grants of the Mongolic division, prin- 

 cipally Japanese, go to Hawaii and the 

 Pacific coast. Of all the immigrants 

 going to Hawaii 82 per cent are Japanese. 



negrin, Croatian, Slovenian, Dalmatian, Bos- 

 nian, Herzegovinian, Hebrew, Lithuanian, 

 Polish, Roumanian, Russian, Ruthenian, and 

 Slovak. 



The Mongolic division has also been added, 

 to Include Chinese, Japanese, Korean, East 

 Indian, Pacific Islander, and Filipino. 



Under "all others" have been included 

 Magyar, Turkish, Armenian, African (black), 

 and subdivisions native to the Western Hemi- 

 sphere 



By reason of blood mixture this classification 

 is somewhat arbitrary, especially with regard 

 to Finnish, Scotch, and southern Germans. 



OCCUPATIONS 



Examination shows that immigration 

 to the mining regions of the Alleghenies, 

 Eake Superior, and Rocky Mountains 

 is composed of comparatively few fam- 

 ilies and a very large proportion of la- 

 borers, while that to the agricultural dis- 

 tricts of the Middle West and South is 

 composed of comparatively few laborers 

 and large proportions of families. The 

 latter fact is conspicuously the case with 

 regard to the tier of seven prairie states 

 and territories from North Dakota to 

 Texas, where nearly half the immigra- 

 tion consists of women and children 

 classed under the head ' ' no occupation, ' ' 

 with a corresponding decrease in the 

 proportion of laborers. It is notable 

 also that the Teutonic element in the 

 immigration to this tier of states greatly 

 predominates. 



VIEWS OF LHASA 



THE pictures of Lhasa published in 

 this number of the National 

 Geographic Magazine are selected 

 from a series of 50 Tibetan photographs 

 which were recently presented to the 

 National Geographic Society by the 

 Imperial Russian Geographical Society 

 of St Petersburg. The pictures were 

 taken by the Buriat Tsybikoff and the 

 Kalmuck Norzunoff on their recent 

 semi-official expedition to Tibet. The 

 notes given under the pictures are from 

 Tsybikoff' s narrative as published in 

 the Annual Report of the Secretary of 

 the Smithsonian Institution for 1903. 

 Those desiring further information on 

 the subject are referred to the above 

 narrative and also to this Magazine, 

 July, page 292, and May, page 228, 

 1904, and September, page 353, 1903.
