It is interesting also to trace the various settlements in the United States from the racial standpoint. The first btttlenents In the East. at Jamestown and Plymouth Rock. were from Greatt Britain. and for a considerable time thereafter the predominating immigration was from inllgland. Then came additions from Holland. Sweden. and Germany. About the ntiddle of the nineteenth century there was a decided increase of immigration. happily of Teutonic or Celtic blood. Large numbers came from Celtic Ireland. and later in the eighties and nineties there was a great intlux from Norway. Sweden. Denmark. and Germany. These immigrants of Teutonic and Celtic blood were readily assimilatel. They did not change American character. because they came to stocks which were hrgely Teutonic and Celtic. It is plain that American institutions are safe so 1ing as Immigrants come here who are substantially of the same blood as those races which came here during colonial days and up to three decades ago. But what about assimilating people of other bloodn. such as Slavs. Greeks.
