Description
Excerpt from Immigration: And Its Effects Upon the United States
The great interest now shown by the American pepple in the immigration question, and the very general lack of information as to the conditions and effects of immigration, seem to call for a new handbook on the sub ject. Since the publication oi the late Professor Mayo Smith''s book, in 1890, important changes have taken place in immigration itself; and many valuable reports and articles have been published, the most comprehensive of which is, perhaps, the Report of the Industrial Com mission made in 1902.
The extent and importance of these changes have naturally resulted in considerable attention being given, in the present volume, to the most recent period, and less to the historical survey of immigration in the earlier part of the country''s existence; for, however interesting the history of the matter may be, the problems which confront the American people to-day, with regard to immigration, are of comparatively recent origin.
