these may be added another 191,509 where one parent is either Canadian |
born or British born, while the other is foreign born. |
Contrasted with this is the population born of parents both of whom |

were foreign born. Their number for the three provinces is 945,725. Sub-|
tracting, therefore, the total foreign born of 544,955 from this figure, we find
that the number born under the British flag, and mainly in Canada, of
foreign born parents is only 400,770. These are first generation Canadians,
The figures are not only interesting but reassuring to those who are
anxious that Canadian and British blood, customs and ideals shall
predominate in this land, Another reassuring and gratifying fact is indicated
by the figures that 191,509 of the population in these three provinces are the
offspring of marriages contracted between Canadian born or British born
men and women on the one hand with foreign born on the other
hand. This inter-marriage between the races is bringing about the develop-
ment of a distinctly Western type of Canadian, and one that gives promise of
being a very fine type, physically strong, mentally alert, uniting in them-
selves the Anglo-Saxon love of liberty, respect for law and authority, capable
in government, with the love of music, poetry, art, and handicrafts which

characterizes the peoples of continental Europe.

The great mass of the slum dwell-

houses sprang up like mushrooms
