I will look for a moment. and I may be able to find what he wants. . I think I have here something upon that question. I find among my papers a table giving the relative degree of illiteracy of the old and the new immigration. during the period of 11 years from 1899 to 1909. During that time we admitted 7.199.060 immigrants. and of these 1.983.618 were of the old type. comink from western Europe. and the percentage of illiterates in that class was only 2.7 per cent. That would cover England and Scotland and Ireland and Germany and France and the Scandinhvian countries.
