Upon examining the totals in the preceding table it is seen that a smaller proportion of children of native birth of both sexes are at home and at work and a larger percentage are at school than is the case with the children who are foreign-born. In a general way the races of older immigration exhibit practically the same tendencies as compared with the southern and eastern European races as do the total native-born to the foreign-born. This condition of affairs is largely to be attributed to the relatively small proportion of children among the recent immigrant races and to the additional fact that these children are usually below the working and school age. A comparison of the tendencies exhibited by the principal races may be had from the following table, which shows, by general nativity and race of father and by birthplace of child, the number and percentage of children in the households studied 6 and under 16 years of age at home, at school, and at work.

On the other hand, the French Canadian children of foreign birth were more extensively employed than those of native birth, while the smaller proportion were at home and at school. No sharp differences are noticeable in the case of the Croatian children, only a slightly smaller proportion of those of foreign birth being at home and at work and a slightly larger proportion at school than those of native birth. In the case of the English, German, North Italian, South Italian, and Scotch children a somewhat larger proportion of those born abroad were at work and at home and a slightly smaller proportion at school as compared with those born in this country. Of the French a slightly smaller proportion of children of foreign birth were at school and a larger proportion at work than those of native birth. The Lithuanians show the smaller proportion of children of foreign birth at home and at school and a larger proportion at work as compared with children of native birth. On the other hand, the Magyars exhibit a much larger proportion of children of foreign birth at home than those of native birth, and a considerably larger proportion of native children of this race were at school as compared with the foreign-born. A larger proportion of the Polish children born abroad were at school and at work than those of native birth. A much larger percentage of Lithuanian children who were born abroad were at work than those born in the United States. CITIZENSHIP.
