French Canadians are to New England what Chinese are to California and the Pacific coast. Their morals are lower. their necessities fewer. and their only aim seems to be to see how touch money they call get to takeout of the country. They do not wish their children to attend schools. and when compelled to send them often move to another place. They seldom accept the right of franchise. Out of a population of 88.653 in thirtytwo cities in New England only 5.996 are naturalized and 2.859 are propertyowners. Mr. Foster spoke strongly against theemployment of children of tender years.
