The Italians: A Study of the Countrymen of Columbus, Dante, and Michael Angelo (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from The Italians: A Study of the Countrymen of Columbus, Dante, and Michael Angelo

F all the vast army of aliens who daily 0 pass through the portals of our United States, no one nationality deserves more attention and study than does the Italian. This is true first because of the numerical problem which it presents. The stream of Italian emigra tion has been turning towards the United States with a steadily-increasing current during the last twenty-five years. The percentage of Italian emi grants going to the United States out of the whole number leaving Italy for foreign lands has increased from 1270 in 1888 to in 1905. In 1906, the Italians arriving strong, headed the list of immigrants for that year and the fact that 27 came in the year ending June 30, 1913, shows that they are still attracted to our shores.
