ABSTRACT
in the preceding chapters we have implicitly or explicitly characterized the influence of certain immigrant communities on their members. In the present chapter we compare the preparation that the largest three groups of the so-called new immigration— the Poles, the Jews, and the Italians—give their members for engaging in American activities. These groups are numerically about equal, the Poles numbering about 3,000,000, the Jews, 3,300,000, the Italians about 3,200,000.
