443. lappuse - Again it seems probable, as dentists with whom I have spoken on the subject agree, that many cases of overcrowding or wide separation of teeth are due to a lack of harmony between size of jaw and size of teeth — probably due to a union of a large-jawed, large-toothed race and a small-jawed, small-toothed race. Nothing is more striking than the regular dental arcades commonly seen in the skulls of inbred native races and the irregular dentations of many children of the tremendously hybridized American.

84. lappuse - ... months old. The babies were grouped also according to the kind of house in which the family lived. The death rate for babies whose homes were in one-family houses was 86.1 per 1,000; in houses containing seven or more families 236.6 per 1,000. Similarly the rate showed a steady increase according to the number of persons per room. It was 123.3 per 1,000 where the family had more rooms than persons; and 245.9 where there were two or more persons per room.
vii. lappuse - Americans in fuller common understanding and appreciation to secure by means of self-government the highest welfare of all. Such Americanization should perpetuate no unchangeable political, domestic, and economic regime delivered once for all to the fathers, but a growing and broadening national life, inclusive of the best wherever found. With all our rich heritages, Americanism will develop best through a mutual giving and taking of contributions from both newer and older Americans in the interest...
186. lappuse - Communities where the birth rate exceeds 25 per thousand invariably have a large foreign population. Communities having a large proportion of native-born, invariably have a birth rate under 25 per thousand. In New York State 73.1 per cent of all births to foreign-born women were to Italian, Russian and AustroHungarian mothers. These races accounted for nearly 25 per cent of all births in the state outside of New York City, although they furnished less than 7 per cent of the population. That mortality...

31. lappuse - Probably the most far-reaching investigation which has compared the physical fitness of the native and foreign born is that made by the War Department in selecting drafted men for the army. The large numbers involved make the results reliable. To understand the statistics which are here cited it is necessary to know the definitions which the War Department gave to Groups A and D among the men examined.1 Group A was composed of men who are vigorous and without any physical defect which might interfere...
72. lappuse - I know that the idea prevalent among Americans is that the alien imports his slums with him to the detriment of his adopted country, that the squalor and the misery and the filth of the foreign quarters in the large cities of the United States are characteristic of the native life of the peoples who live in those quarters. But that is an error and a slander. The slums are emphatically not of our making. So far is the immigrant from being accustomed to such living conditions that the first thing that...
83. lappuse - Or that in the homes of 496 live-born babies where bathtubs were found the infant mortality rate was 72.6, while it was more than double, or 164.8, where there were no bathtubs. Desirable as a bathtub and bodily cleanliness may be, this does not prove that the lives of the babies were saved by the presence of the tub or the assumed cleanliness of the persons having them.
