CHANGES  IN  BODILY  FORM  OF  DESCENDANTS  OF  IMMIGRANTS, 
By  FRANZ  BOAS. 


INTRODUCTORY. 

In  March,  1908,  I  was  intrusted  by  the  United  States  Immigration 
Commission  with  an  investigation  of  the  physical  characteristics  of 
immigrants. 

It  seemed  that  the  principal  data  to  be  collected  in  an  investigation 
of  this  kind  must  relate  to  the  differences  in  composition  of  the  immi- 
grants that  arrive  in  this  country  at  different  peirods,  and  to  the 
changes  that  may  take  place  among  their  descendants  born  in  this 
country. 

This  problem  is  an  exceedingly  complicated  one,  on  account  of  the 
great  differences  in  type  of  the  people  that  have  immigrated  into 
the  United  States  from  different  parts  of  Europe,  on  account  of  the 
changes  of  social  conditions  under  which  these  people  lived  at  home 
and  here,  and  on  account  of  the  extended  intermixture  of  descendants 
of  various  nationalities  that  is  taking  place  in  the  United  States. 

The  investigations  that  have  been  carried  on  in  Europe  during  the 
last  fifty  years  have  shown  clearly  that  the  types  inhabiting  various 
parts  of  Europe  show  fundamental  differences,  and  that  these  differ- 
ences are  distributed,  on  the  whole,  more  according  to  geographical 
localities  than  to  nationalities.  Thus  the  people  of  the  Alps,  no 
matter  what  language  they  may  speak,  show  considerable  similarities 
in  type.  On  account  of  these  local  differences  it  seemed  necessary 
to  classify  the  immigrants  according  to  their  descent  and  country  of 
origin ;  and  in  the  intial  stages  of  our  inquiry  we  confined  ourselves  to 
a  study  of  the  east  European  Hebrew.  When  the  essential  points 
to  be  investigated  became  clearer  by  the  results  of  this  inquiry,  the 
investigation  was  extended  over  Italians  of  that  part  of  Italy  south  of 
Rome,  Bohemians,  and  Hungarians,  and,  to  a  more  limited  extent, 
over  immigrants  of  Scotch  descent. 

Since  American  environment  differs  very  much  in  large  cities,  in 
small  towns,  and  in  the  country,  and  again  in  different  parts  of  the 
country,  it  seemed  necessary  to  select  a  uniform  American  environ- 
ment. Since,  from  a  practical  point  of  view,  a  knowledge  of  the 
influence  of  the  life  in  congested  parts  of  our  cities  seemed  to  be  most 
important,  this  particular  problem  was  selected  for  investigation. 

According  to  our  knowledge  of  anthropological  conditions  in  the 
whole  world,  the  form  of  the  Tbody  seems  to  be  the  most  stable  char- 
acteristic of  any  given  race  of  type.  Indications  have  been  found,

however,  showing  that  under  more  favorable  environment  the 
physical  development  of  a  race  may  improve.  This  was  shown  by 
Gould  and  Baxter  in  their  investigations  of  the  physical  character- 
istics of  the  soldiers  enlisting  during  the  War  of  the  Rebellion,  by 
H.  P.  Bowditch  hi  his  investigations  of  the  development  of  Boston 
school  children,  and  by  similar  investigations  carried  on  at  later 
times  in  various  cities  in  America  as  well  as  abroad.  No  evidence, 
1  owever,  has  been  collected  which  would  show  an  actual  change  in 
type  due  to  the  influence  of  environment.  Where  changes  of  this 
kind  seem  to  occur — as,  for  instance,  in  a  comparison  of  the  types  of 
city  population  and  country  population  in  Southern  Germany  and  in 
Italy — the  inclination  of  observers  has  been  rather  to  attribute  the 
difference  either  to  the  elective  elimination  of  the  weaker  type  or  to 
the  immigration  of  different  types. 

From  a  practical  point  of  view  it  seemed  all-important  to  know 
whether  American  environment  had  a  favorable  or  unfavorable  effect 
upon  the  descendants  of  immigrants. 

The  investigation  has  shown  much  more  than  was  anticipated. 
There  are  not  only  decided  changes  hi  the  rate  of  development  of 
immigrants,  but  there  is  also  a  far-reaching  change  in  the  type— a 
change  which  can  not  be  ascribed  to  selection  or  mixture,  but  which 
can  only  be  explained  as  due  directly  to  the  influence  of  environ- 
ment. This  conclusion  has  been  tested  in  many  different  ways,  and 
seems  to  be  amply  proved.  It  has  been  stated  before  that,  according 
to  all  our  experiences,  the  bodily  traits  which  have  been  observed  to 
undergo  a  change  under  American  environment  belong  to  those  char- 
acteristics of  the  human  body  which  are  considered  the  most  stable. 
We  are  therefore  compelled  to  draw  the  conclusion  that  if  these  traits 
change  under  the  influence  of  environment,  presumably  none  of  the 
characteristics  of  the  human  types  that  come  to  America  remain 
stable.  The  adaptability  of  the  immigrant  seems  to  be  very  much 
greater  than  we  had  a  right  to  suppose  before  our  investigations  were 
instituted. 

It  is  true  that  the  investigation  has  been  so  fragmentary  that  only 
a  very  small  part  of  the  problem  has  been  touched  upon.  It  is  only 
one  kind  of  environment  that  has  been  investigated.  Only  a  few  of 
the  European  types  have  been  tested,  and  none  in  numbers  large 
enough  to  allow  an  inquiry  into  all  the  important  details  of  our  prob- 
lem. The  investigation  has  largely  been  confined  to  a  study  of  the 
male  sex,  and  the  descendants  of  intermarriages  among  members 
of  the  same  nationality  only  have  been  considered.  By  far  the  greater 
part  of  the  work,  therefore,  remains  to  be  done. 

In  carrying  on  this  work  I  have  been  ably  assisted  by  Dr.  C.  Ward 
Cram p ton,  who  organized  the  work  in  the  New  York  schools.  In 
the  initial  stages  of  the  work  I  also  greatly  profited  by  conferences 
with  Dr.  Maurice  Fishberg,  whose  investigations  among  the  New 
York  Jews  indicated  the  practicability  of  the  present  investigation. 

In  planning  the  investigation  it  seemed  desirable  to  select  such 
measurements  as  would  be  most  characteristic  in  defining  the  stage 
of  development  and  the  characteristic  racial  types  of  each  group. 
The  former  question  is  most  readily  investigated  by  a  study  of  the 
stature,  weight,  and  general  physiological  development  of  the  indi- 
vidual; the  second,  by  a  record  of  the  length  and  width  of  the  head, 


Changes  in  Bodily  Form  of  Descendants  of  Immigrants.          3 

width  of  the  face  measured  between  the  zygomatic  arches,  and  by 
color  of  hair,  eyes,  and  skin.  Accordingly  these  items  were  selected 
for  our  inquiry.  At  the  same  time  it  seemed  necessary  to  obtain  with 
the  greatest  possible  accuracy  the  descent  of  the  individual  measured, 
and  the  record  of  his  immigration.  In  the  beginning  we  were  planning 
to  conduct  our  investigation  largely  in  schools  and  colleges.  For 
reasons  which  will  presently  be  explained  this  plan  had  to  be  modified, 
but  the  blank  for  measurements  as  originally  adopted  contained  the 
information  regarding  the  school  and  grade  in  which  the  measure- 
ments were  taken. 

Considerable  difficulty  was  encountered  in  the  determination  of  the 
physiological  development  of  the  individual.  According  to  my 
original  plan,  the  condition  of  the  teeth  was  to  be  observed,  in  order 
to  determine  the  time  of  eruption  of  the  permanent  teeth  as  an  indi- 
cation of  general  physiological  development.  It  seemed,  however, 
impossible  to  carry  through  this  investigation  successfully,  on  account 
of  the  difficulty  of  finding  a  sufficient  number  of  adequately  trained 
observers.  The  inherent  difficulties  of  observing  the  teeth  are  very- 
considerable,  and  require  a  large  amount  of  experience.  The  funds 
at  our  disposal  not  being  sufficient  to  permit  the  engagement  of  expe- 
rienced dentists,  this  part  of  the  investigation  was  dropped. 

In  those  New  York  schools  in  which  bathrooms  are  established  it 
was  possible  to  obtain  the  weight  of  the  children  without  clothing, 
and  at  the  same  time  observations  were  made  on  pubescence  as  a 
means  of  determining  the  approximate  physiological  development. 
The  method  of  these  observations  has  been  developed  by  Dr.  C.  Ward 
Cramp  ton,  but  it  is  available  only  for  the  short  period  of  adolescence. 

The  attempt  was  also  made  to  collect  material  from  American  fami- 
lies settled  in  this  country  for  several  generations  and  living  under 
more  favorable  conditions.  I  am  indebted  for  the  opportunity  to 
collect  material  of  this  kind  to  the  courtesy  of  Dr.  Wilson  Farrand, 
principal  of  the  Newark  Academy,  who  gave  us  permission  to  copy 
the  full  records  which  have  been  kept  in  his  school  for  many  years. 

Much  to  my  regret  I  have  not  been  able  to  read  proof  of  all  the 
tables  of  the  Appendix  from  the  original  tabulations.  I  have  read 
the  proofs  of  all  the  tables  in  the  Report  itself,  and  since  I  have 
found  only  5  misprints  I  believe  the  figures  in  the  Appendix  may 
be  considered  as  reasonably  correct. 


CHAPTER  I. 


GENERAL  RESULTS  OF  THE  I1TVESTIGATION. 

In  most  of  the  European  types  that  have  been  investigated  the 
head  form,  which  has  always  been  considered  one  of  the  most 
stable  and  permanent  characteristics  of  human  races,  undergoes  far- 
reaching  changes  coincident  with  the  transfer  of  the  people  from  Euro- 
pean to  American  soil.  For  instance,  the  east  European  Hebrew,  who 
has  a  very  round  head,  becomes  more  long-headed;  the  south  Italian, 
who  in  Italy  has  an  exceedingly  long  head,  becomes  more  short-headed  ; 
so  that  in  this  country  both  approach  a  uniform  type,  as  far  as  the 
roundness  of  the  head  is  concerned. 

The  head  form  may  conveniently  be  expressed  by  a  number  indi- 
cating the  transversal  diameter  (or  width  of  the  head)  in  per  cents 
of  the  diameter  measured  from  forehead  to  the  back  of  the  head  (or 
the  length  of  the  head).  When  the  head  is  elongated  (that  is,  narrow 
when  seen  from  the  front,  and  long  when  seen  in  profile),  this  num- 
ber will  be  low;  when  it  is  rounded  (that  is,  wide  when  seen  from 
the  front,  and  short  when  seen  in  profile),  this  number  will  be  high. 
The  width  of  the  head  expressed  in  per  cents  of  the  length  of  the  head 
is  about  78  per  cent  among  Sicilians  born  in  Sicily  and  about  83 
per  cent  among  Hebrews  born  in  eastern  Europe.  Among  Sicilians 
born  in  America  this  number  rises  to  more  than  80  per  cent,  while 
among  east  European  Hebrews  born  in  America  it  sinks  to  81  per 
cent. 

This  fact  is  one  of  the  most  suggestive  discovered  in  the  investi- 
gation, because  it  shows  that  not  even  those  characteristics  of  a  race 
which  have  proved  to  be  most  permanent  in  their  old  home  remain 
the  same  under  the  new  surroundings;  and  we  are  compelled  to  con- 
clude that  when  these  features  of  the  body  change,  the  whole  bodily 
and  mental  make-up  of  the  immigrants  may  change. 

These  results  are  so  definite  that,  while  heretofore  we  had  the  right 
to  assume  that  human  types  are  stable,  all  the  evidence  is  now  in 
favor  of  a  great  plasticity  of  human  types,  and  permanence  of  types 
in  new  surroundings  appears  rather  as  the  exception  than  as  the  rule. 

The  disagreement  of  the  changes  in  distinct  types  may  be  illus- 
trated by  Table  1  and  figure  1  following,  which  show  the  head  form 
of  Sicilians  and  east  European  Hebrews  of  American  birth  in  compari- 
son with  that  of  Sicilians  and  east  European  Hebrews  of  European 
birth.

The  diagram  shows  very  clearly  that  the  two  types  are  quite  dis-

from  their  parents  in  opposite  directions.

Scale,  1  square=0.5  unit. 

The  measurements  of  males  of  5  years  of  age  and  older  are  indicated  in  this  diagram.  The  head 
form,  expressed  by  the  ratio  between  width  and  length  of  head,  and  its  change  with  increasing  age, 
is  indicated  by  the  four  lines.  The  diagram  shows  that  foreign-born  Sicilian  males  have  the  lowest 
value  for  this  ratio  and  the  foreign-born  Hebrews  the  highest,  while  the  American-born  Hebrews 
and  the  American-born  Sicilians  stand  between  these  two  extremes,  and  are  more  alike  than  foreign- 
born  individuals  of  the  same  types. 


Changes  in  Bodily  Form  of  Descendants  of  Immigrants.          7 

In  order  to  understand  the  causes  which  bring  about  these  altera- 
tions of  type,  it  is  necessary  to  know  how  long  a  time  must  have 
elapsed  since  the  immigration  of  the  parents  to  bring  about  a  notice- 
able change  of  type  of  the  offspring.  This  investigation  has  been 
carried  out  mainly  for  the  cephalic  index,  which  during  the  period 
of  growth  of  the  individual  undergoes  only  slight  modifications. 
It  appears  in  those  cases  that  contain  many  individuals  whose 
parents  have  been  residents  of  America  for  a  long  time  that  the 
influence  of  American  environment  upon  the  descendants  of  immi- 
grants increases  with  the  time  that  the  immigrants  have  lived  in 
this  country  before  the  birth  of  their  children. 

I  have  proved  this  statement  by  comparing  the  features  of 
individuals  of  a  certain  type  born  abroad,  born  in  America  within 
ten  years  after  the  arrival  of  the  mother,  and  born  ten  years  or  more 
after  the  arrival  of  the  mother.  It  appears  that  the  longer  the  parents 
have  been  here,  the  greater  is  the  divergence  of  the  descendants  from 
the  European  type.  The  development  may  be  illustrated  by  a 
comparison  of  Hebrews  and  Sicilians.  The  approach  of  the  Hebrew 
and  Sicilian  types  becomes  very  clear  when  we  divide  the  American- 
born  descendants  into  those  born  less  than  ten  years  after  the 
arrival  of  the  mothers  and  those  born  ten  years  or  more  after 
the  arrival  of  the  mothers.  Since  adult  American-born  Italians  are 
few  in  number,  it  seemed  best  to  compare  individuals  of  an  average 
age  of  about  9  years.  Table  2  and  figure  2,  next  presented,  show 
the  results  of  this  comparison.

FIG.  2.— Comparison  of  head  form  of  Hebrews  and  Sicilians,  arranged  according  to  time  elapsed 
between  birth  and  immigration. 

At  1  is  indicated  the  head  form  expressed  by  the  ratio  between  width  and  length  of  head  of  foreign- 
born  Hebrews  and  Sicilians;  at  2,  the  same  ratios  for  those  born  within  ten  years  after  the  arrival  of 
their  mothers  in  the  United  States;  at  3,  the  corresponding  values  for  those  born  more  than  ten  years 
after  the  arrival  of  their  mothers  in  America.  The  diagram  shows  the  very  rapid  approach  of  the 
two  types  among  children  born  shortly  after  the  arrival  of  their  mothers  in  America,  and  the  slower 
continuation  of  this  approach  among  children  born  a  long  time  after  the  arrival  of  their  mothers  in 
America. 

In  figure  3  the  form  of  the  head  of  Sicilians  and  Hebrews  is  shown 
as  seen  from  above.  In  the  upper  row  the  more  rounded  form  of  the 
foreign-born  Hebrew  is  placed  side  by  side  with  the  more  elongated 
form  of  the  Sicilian.  Below  these  is  shown  the  head  form  of  the 
descendants  of  the  Hebrews  and  Sicilians  born  more  than  ten 
years  after  the  arrival  of  the  mothers.  This  figure  is  intended  only 


Changes  in  Bodily  Form  of  Descendants  of  Immigrants.         9 

to  give  an  impression  of  the  change  in  proportions.     It  does  not 
represent  the  head  forms  in  other  directions  in  detail.

and  Sicilian  born  more  than  ten  years  after  the  arrival  of  the  mother  in  America.  These  sketches 
are  intended  only  to  give  an  impression  of  the  change  in  proportions.  They  do  not  represent  the 
head  forms  in  detail. 


MEASUREMENTS    OP    DISTINCT   TYPES. 

In  the  following  pages  a  condensed  tabulation  and  graphical  rep- 
resentation of  the  measurements  of  various  types  are  given.  (Tables 
3-6,  figs.  4-33).  In  the  figures,  Bohemians,  Hungarians,  Slovaks, 
and  Poles  are  combined  into  one  group.  The  numerical  values  of 
the  hair-colors  will  be  found  explained  on  p.  98.  The  full  tabulations 
will  be  found  in  the  Appendix,  Tables  I-XVI,  pp.  169-369.

In  this  diagram  is  shown  the  difference  obtained  by  subtracting  the  stature  of  foreign-born  individuals 
from  that  of  American-born  individuals.  The  heavy  base  lines  indicate  the  difference  0.  The  diagram 
shows  that  among  the  Bohemians  and  Hebrews  the  difference  is  almost  throughout  positive,  showing  that 
in  both  sexes  the  American-born  is  taller  than  the  foreign-born.  Among  the  Sicilians  the  difference  is 
decidedly  under  the  0  line,  showing  that  the  American-born  Sicilian  is  not  so  favorably  developed  as  the 
foreign-bom.  Among  the  Neapolitans  the  differences  are  irregular  and  small.  The  curve  suggests,  how- 
ever, that  among  the  Italians  the  unfavorable  conditions  are  more  marked  in  the  females  than  in  the 
males.

FIG.  7.— Weights  of  boys.    Scale,  1  square  =  0.5  kgm. 

In  this  diagram  the  increase  in  weight  of  boys  of  the  different  nationalities  is  shown.  The  weights  for  the 
Bohemians  should  be  read  from  the  base-line  30.0,  near  the  top  of  the  diagram;  those  for  the  Hebrews, 
from  the  base-line  30.0  below  the  Bohemians;  the  weights  for  the  Sicilians  should  be  read  from  the  base-line 
30.0,  under  the  Hebrews;  while  those  for  the  Neapolitans  should  be  read  from  the  base-line 30.0,  at  the  lower 
end  of  the  diagram.  The  differences  in  weight  are  not  very  striking,  but  the  increase  in  weight  among 
American-born  Hebrews  is  quite  marked.

from  that  of  American-born  individuals.  The  heavy  base-lines  indicate  the  difference,  0.  Only  among 
the  Hebrews  does  there  appear  to  be  any  marked  difference  in  favor  of  the  American-born.  Among  the 
Sicilians  the  difference  is  markedly  in  favor  of  the  foreign-born.

diagram  shows  that  for  the  Bohemians  the  width  of  head  is  slightly  less  among  the  American-born  than 
among  the  foreign-born.  Among  the  Hebrews  the  excess  of  the  foreign-born  over  the  American-born  is 
very  marked.  Among  the  Sicilians  and  Neapolitans  the  difference  is,  on  the  whole,  positive,  indicating 
an  increased  width  of  head  among  the  American-born.

FIG.  27.— Width  of  face  of  foreign-born  and  American-born  Neapolitans.    Scale,  1  square=0.5  mm/> 

The  diagram  shows  the  increasing  with  of  face  of  children  from  5  years  up.  The  upper  two  lines  indicate1 
the  growth  in  width  of  face  of  boys;  the  lower  two,  the  growth  in  wid,th  of  face  of  girls.  Since  the  values  of 
this  measurement  are  nearly  the  same  for  males  and  females,  the  two  sets  of  lines  have  been  separated. 
1  he  measurements  of  the  males  should  be  read  from  the  lines  marked  with  roman  numbers;  those  of 
females,  from  the  lines  marked  with  italic  numbers.  The  diagram  shows  that  the  faces  of  foreign-born 
children,  both  boys  and  girls,  are  wider  than  those  of  American-born  children.

FIG.  33.— Excess  of  pigmentation  of  American-born  over  foreign-born.    Scale,  1  square  =  0.5  unit.    Heavy 
lines  indicate  males;  light  lines,  females. 

In  this  diagram  is  shown  the  difference  obtained  by  subtracting  the  pigmentation  of  foreign-born  indi- 
viduals from  that  of  American-born  individuals.  The  heavy  base-lines  indicate  the  difference  0.  The 
diagram  shows  that  there  are  no  material  differences  in  the  amount  of  pigmentation  of  the  hair  of  foreign- 
born  arid  American-born. 

The  features  that  have  been  studied  are  stature,  weight,  length 
of  head,  width  of  head,  width  of  face,  and  color  of  hair.  While  it 
seems  doubtful  that  changes  in  pigmentation  occur,  all  the  other 
features  show  notable  differences.  These  are  not  in  the  same  direc- 
tion in  all  cases.  Stature,  weight,  length  of  head,  and  width  of  head 
show  increases  in  some  cases,  decreases  in  others;  the  width  of  the 
face  decreases  among  all  the  types  that  have  been  studied,  except  the 
Scotch. 

The  types  that  have  been  subjected  to  examination  are  the  Bohe- 
mians, Slovaks  and  Hungarians,  Poles,  Hebrews,  Sicilians,  Neapol- 
itans, and  Scotch.  These  have  been  selected  because  they  represent 
a  number  of  the  most  distinct  European  types,  and  because  they 
constitute  a  large  percentage  of  our  immigrants.  The  changes  that 
have  been  observed  may  be  summarized  as  follows: 

The  Bohemians,  Slovaks  and  Hungarians,  and  Poles,  representing 
the  type  of  central  Europe,  exhibit  uniform  changes.  Among  the 
American-born  descendants  of  these  types  the  stature  increases  and 
both  length  and  width  of  head  decrease,  the  latter  a  little  more 
markedly  than  the  former,  so  that  there  is  also  a  decrease  of  the 
cephalic  index.  The  width  of  the  face  decreases  very  materially. 


56 


The  Immigration  Commission. 


The  Hebrews  show  changes  peculiar  to  themselves.  Stature  and 
weight  increase;  the  length  of  the  head  shows  a  marked  increase, 
and  the  width  of  the  head  decreases,  so  that  the  cephalic  index  de- 
creases materially;  the  width  of  the  face  also  decreases. 

Sicilians  and  Neapolitans,  representing  the  Mediterranean  type 
of  Europe,  form  another  group  which  shows  distinctive  changes. 
These  are  less  pronounced  among  the  Neapolitans  than  among  the 
Sicilians,  who  are  also  purer  representatives  of  the  Mediterranean  type, 
notwithstanding  the  many  mixtures  of  peoples  that  have  occurred 
in  Sicily  and  the  adjoining  parts  of  Italy.  The  stature  of  the  Sicilians 
born  in  America  is  less  than  that  of  the  foreign-born.  This  loss  is  not 
so  marked  among  the  Neapolitans.  In  both  groups  the  length  of 
the  head  decreases,  the  width  of  the  head  increases,  and  the  width  of 
the  face  decreases. 

In  Tables  3-6  (pp.  10-23),  are  given  summaries  of  the  measure- 
ments of  immigrants  and  of  their  American-born  descendants  of 
various  European  types.  In  a  number  of  figures  the  differences 
between  American-born  and  foreign-born  are  represented,  the  heavy 
line  in  each  diagram  representing  the  difference  0,  the  points  above 
this  line  positive  differences,  those  below  the  line  negative  differ- 
ences (see  fig.  6,  p.  28;  fig.  8,  p.  30;  fig.  13,  p.  35;  fig.  18,  p.  40;  fig. 
23,  p.  45;  fig.  28,  p.  50;  fig.  33,  p.  55). 

The  summaries  nere  presented  are  in  part  based  on  very  limited 
material,  and  for  this  reason  the  differences  between  foreign-born 
and  American-born  do  not  appear  as  regular  as  they  would  pre- 
sumably appear  if  a  larger  number  of  cases  were  available.  Never- 
theless the  tables,  as  well  as  their  graphic  representation,  show  that 
there  is  a  regular  tendency  towards  the  occurrence  of  the  same  kind 
of  differences  between  foreign-born  and  American-born. 

In  order  to  obtain  a  better  expression  for  the  quantitative  difference 
between  the  two  groups,  I  have  assumed  that  the  difference  between 
foreign-born  and  American-born  is  the  same  for  all  ages — an  assump- 
tion which  may  serve  well  enough  for  a  first  approximation.  The 
differences  thus  obtained  for  each  year  and  sex  have  been  weighted 
according  to  the  number  of  cases,  and  in  this  way  the  following  char- 
acteristic differences  among  the  various  groups  have  been  obtained :

Changes  in  Bodily  Form  of  Descendants  of  Immigrants.       57 

The  table  shows  in  the  case  of  every  type  except  the  Scotch  certain 
decided  differences  between  the  measurements  or  individuals  born  in 
America  and  the  measurements  of  those  born  abroad.  There  appear 
to  be  three  distinct  groups.  The  central  European  type,  represented 
in  our  series  by  the  Bohemians,  Hungarians,  Slovaks,  and  Poles,  shows 
a  decrease  of  the  cephalic  index  for  those  born  in  America,  which  is 
due  to  a  decrease  of  both  length  of  head  and  width  of  head.  The 
width  of  face  shows  a  considerable  decrease,  while  the  stature 
increases.  The  Hebrews  differ  in  their  behavior  from  the  preceding 
group  in  showing  a  much  larger  decrease  in  cephalic  index,  which  is 
due  to  the  fact  that  the  length  of  the  head  increases,  while  the  width 
of  the  head  decreases.  The  decrease  in  width  of  face  is  also  consid- 
erable, and  the  stature  shows  a  marked  increase.  The  third  group  is 
formed  by  the  two  south  Italian  divisions — the  Neapolitans  and 
Sicilians.  In  both  of  these  cases  we  find  an  increase  of  the  cephalic 
index,  which  is  more  marked  among  the  long-headed  Sicilians  than 
among  the  more  round-headed  Neapolitans.  This  increase  is  due  to 
a  widening  of  the  head,  combined  with  a  loss  in  length.  The  face  of 
both  groups  also  loses  in  width.  The  stature  of  the  American-born 
is  less  than  the  stature  of  the  foreign-born.  These  data  show  that 
the  changes  in  the  dimensions  of  the  head  do  not  depend  by  any  means 
upon  the  absolute  or  relative  measurements  which  are  found  among 
the  foreign-born,  but  that  heads  which  are  nearly  of  the  same  length, 
like  those  of  the  Bohemians  and  of  the  Hebrews,  behave  quite  differ- 
ently in  this  country,  the  length  of  the  one  increasing,  while  the  length 
of  the  other  decreases. 

It  seems  best  to  defer  the  discussion  of  the  significance  of  these 
remarkable  phenomena  until  the  characteristics  of  the  change  in  type 
have  been  brought  out  from  different  points  of  view. 

RELATIONS    BETWEEN    TIME    OF    IMMIGRATION    AND    CHANGE   OF  TYPE. 

The  differences  in  type  between  the  American-born  descendant 
of  the  immigrant  and  the  European-born  immigrant  develop  in 
early  childhood  and  persist  throughout  life.  This  is  indicated  by 
the  general  occurrence  of  the  typical  differences  in  the  measure- 
ments of  children  of  all  ages.  (See  Tables  3-6.)  The  influence  of 
American  environment  makes  itself  felt  with  increasing  intensity, 
according  to  the  time  elapsed  between  the  arrival  of  the  mother  and 
the  birth  of  the  child.  In  Table  8  and  figure  34  I  have  com- 
pared the  measurements  of  the  foreign-born  child,  of  the  child  born 
within  ten  years  after  the  arrival  of  the  mother,  and  of  the  child 
born  ten  years  or  more  after  the  arrival  of  the  mother,  with  the  gen- 
eral average  of  children  of  that  particular  race.  The  table  shows 
clearly  the  strong  and  increasing  effect  of  American  environment.

FIG.  34.— Comparison  of  head  measurements  of  foreign-born  and  American-born  Hebrew  children. 

In  this  diagram  the  measurements  of  the  total  series  of  Hebrew  children,  born  both  abroad  and  in 
America,  have  been  considered  as  the  norm,  which  is  indicated  by  the  zero  line  in  each  diagram.  • 
The  differences  between  this  norm  and  the  measurements  of  foreign-born  children,  of  children  born 
in  America  less  than  ten  years  after  their  mother's  arrival,  and  of  those  born  in  America  ten  or  more 
years  after  their  mother's  arrival  are  shown.  The  diagram  indicates  that  for  the  length  of  head, 
foreign-born  children  remain  throughout  below  the  norm;  that  children  born  soon  after  their 
mother's  arrival  in  America  exceed  the  norm;  and  that  children  born  a  long  time  after  their  mother's 
arrival  are  still  more  in  excess  of  the  norm.  For  the  width  of  the  head,  width  of  the  face,  and  cephalic 
index  these  conditions  are  reversed.  These  measurements  of  the  foreign-born  child  are  above  the 
norm,  while  those  of  the  American-born  child  are  below  the  norm,  the  more  so  the  longer  the  mother 
has  been  in  America  before  the  birth  of  the  child.  In  all  four  diagrams  the  difference  between  the 
foreign-born  and  those  born  in  America  less  than  ten  years  after  the  mother's  arrival  is  greater  than 
the  corresponding  difference  between  the  two  groups  of  American-born. 

A  more  detailed  study  of  these  phenomena  illustrates  still  more 
clearly  the  increased  modification  of  the  descendants  of  immigrants 
born  a  long  time  after  the  arrival  of  their  parents  in  America. 
Among  the  Hebrews  the  cephali c  index  of  the  foreign-born  is  practi- 
cally the  same,  no  matter  how  old  the  individual  at  the  time  or  immi- 
gration. This  might  be  expected  when  the  immigrants  are  adult  or 
nearly  mature ;  but  it  is  of  interest  to  note  that  even  children  who 
come  here  one  year  or  a  few  years  old  develop  the  cephalic  index  char- 
acteristic of  the  foreign-born.  This  index  ranges  around  83.  When 
we  compare  the  value  of  this  index  with  that  of  the  index  of  the 
American-born,  according  to  the  time  elapsed  since  their  immigra- 


Changes  in  Bodily  Form  of  Descendants  of  Immigrants.       61 


tion,  we  find  a  sudden  change.  The  value  drops  to  about  82  for 
those  born  immediately  after  the  immigration  or  their  parents,  and 
drops  to  79  hi  the  second  generation,  i.  e.,  among  the  children  of 
American-born  children  of  immigrants.  In  other  words,  the  effect 
of  American  environment  makes  itself  felt  immediately,  and  increases 
slowly  with  the  increase  of  the  time  elapsed  between  the  immigration 
of  the  parents  and  the  birth  of  the  child. 

The  conditions  among  the  Sicilians  and  Neapolitans  are  quite 
similar  to  those  observed  among  the  Hebrews.  The  cephalic  index 
of  the  foreign-born  remains  throughout  on  almost  the  same  level. 
Those  born  in  America  immediately  after  the  arrival  of  their  parents 
show  an  increase  of  the  cephalic  index.  In  this  case  the  transition, 
although  rapid,  is  not  quite  so  sudden  as  among  the  Hebrews,  prob- 
ably because  among  the  Italians  born  within  a  year  before  or  soon 
after  immigration,  there  is  some  doubt  as  to  the  place  of  birth. 
These  uncertainties  are  due  to  the  habit'  of  the  Italians  to  migrate 
back  and 'forth  between  Italy  and  America  before  finally  settling 
here,  and  to  the  indefmiteness  of  their  answers  in  regard  to  the 
place  of  birth  of  the  child,  which  sometimes  had  to  be  inferred  from 
the  age  of  the  child  and  the  year  of  immigration  of  the  mother.  As 
long  as  this  uncertainty  exists,  which  is  hardly  present  at  all  in  the 
data  relating  to  the  Hebrews,  it  does  not  seem  necessary  to  assume 
any  other  cause  for  the  more  gradual  change  of  the  cephalic  index 
about  the  time  of  immigration. 

The  Italian  immigration  is  so  recent  that  individuals  who  have 
been  born  many  years  after  the  arrival  of  their  parents  in  America 
are  very  few  in  number,  and  no  individuals  of  the  second  generation 
have  been  observed.  For  this  reason  it  is  hardly  possible  to  decide 
whether  the  increase  of  the  cephalic  index  continues  with  the  length 
of  time  elapsed  between  the  immigration  of  the  parents  and  the 
birth  of  the  child.  These  conditions  appear  clearly  in  Table  9  and 
figure  35.a

FIQ.  35.  —  Cephalic  index  of  foreign-born  and  American-born  (reduced  to  adult  males),  arranged  according 
to  time  elapsed  between  birth  and  immigration.    Scale,  1  square=0.5  unit. 

Thes'e  diagrams  show  that  the  cephalic  index  of  the  foreign-born  Hebrews  (to  the  left  of  the  0-point) 
ranges  about  the  value  82.6.  For  those  born  at  the  time  of  immigration  of  their  parents  there  is  a  sudden 
drop,  which  continues  to  the  right  of  the  0-point  until  gradually  a  value  a  little  below  80  is  reached.  The 
corresponding  curve  giving  the  values  for  the  Sicilians  shows  lower  values  until  the  time  of  immigration, 
and  a  sudden  rise  after  immigration.  Similar  conditions  prevail  among  the  Neapolitans,  but  the  difference 
between  the  foreign-born  and  American-born  is  not  so  marked. 


Among  the  east  European  Hebrews  the  American  environment, 
even  in  the  congested  parts  of  the  city,  has  brought  about  a  general 
more  favorable  development  of  the  body,  which  is  expressed  in  the 
increased  height  of  body  (stature)  and  weight  of  the  children.  The 
Italian  children,  on  the  other  hand,  show  no  such  favorable  influence 
of  American  environment,  but  rather  a  small  loss  in  vigor  as  compared 
to  the  average  condition  of  the  immigrant  children.  It  therefore 
appears  that  the  south  Italian  race  suffers  under  the  influence  of 
American  city  life,  while  the  east  European  Hebrew  develops  under 
these  conditions  better  than  he  does  in  his  native  country.  It  seems 
that  the  change  in  stature  and  weight  increases  with  the  time  elapsed 
between  the  arrival  of  the  mother  and  the  birth  of  the  child.  This 
is  indicated  by  the  increased  differences  between  children  born  more 
than  ten  years  after  the  arrival  of  the  mother,  as  compared  to  those 
born  less  than  ten  years  after  the  arrival  of  the  mother  (Table  10,

FIG.  36. — Comparison  of  stature  and  weight  of  foreign-born  and  American-born  Hebrew  children. 

In  this  diagram  the  stature  and  weight  of  the  total  series  of  Hebrew  children,  born  both  abroad 
and  in  America,  have  been  considered  as  the  norm,  which  is  indicated  by  the  zero  line  in  each  dia- 
gram. The  difference  between  this  norm  and  the  stature  and  weight  of  foreign-born  children,  of 
children  born  in  America  less  than  ten  years  after  their  mother's  arrival,  and  of  those  born  in 
America  ten  or  more  years  after  their  mother's  arrival  are  plotted.  The  diagram  shows  that  both 
stature  and  weight  of  foreign-born  children  are  under  the  norm;  that  those  of  children  born  less  than 
ten  years  after  their  mother's  arrival  are  near  the  norm,  while  those  of  children  born  more  than  ten 
years  after  their  mother's  arrival  are  above  the  norm.  In  this  case  the  difference  between  children 
born  less  than  ten  years  and  those  born  more  than  ten  years  after  the  arrival  of  their  mother  is 
greater  than  the  difference  between  foreign-born  children  and  those  born  within  ten  years  after 
their  mother's  arrival. 

BATE     OF     PHYSIOLOGICAL     DEVELOPMENT     OF     FOREIGN-BORN      AND 

AMERICAN-BORN. 

The  data  collected  show  apparently  that  American-born  boys 
reach  maturity  slightly  earlier  than  foreign-born  boys,  while  the 
period  of  childhood  is  exactly  the  same  among  the  foreign-born  and 
American-born  children.  This  method  was  first  applied  by  Dr.  C. 
Ward  Crampton.  (See  p.  129  et  seq.) 

PROBABLE  CAUSES  OF  CHANGE  IN  TYPE. 

The  explanation  of  these  remarkable  phenomena  is  not  easy. 
Whatever  their  causes  may  be,  the  change  in  form  can  not  be  doubted. 
It  might,  however,  be  claimed  that  the  causes  are  no  deep,  physiolog- 
ical changes,  but  due  to  the  changes  of  certain  external  factors.  It  is 
obvious  that  a  change  in  the  composition  of  the  immigrants  of  a  cer- 
tain region  that  have  arrived  in  America  at  different  times  might 
bring  it  about  that  the  people  who  came  here  at  different  periods 
had  distinct  physical  characteristics,  and  that  those  are  now  reflected 
in  the  descendants  of  the  older  generations  when  compared  with  those 
of  the  more  rece*nt  immigrants.  , 


Changes  in  Bodily  Form  of  Descendants  of  Immigrants.       65 


I  have  carried  through  an  investigation  of  the  absolute  measure- 
ments of  the  Hebrews.  Although  the  results  are  not  quite  con- 
vincing, it  would  seem  that  after  the  panic  of  1893  a  decrease  in  the 
general  development  of  the  immigrant  appeared,  which  continued 
for  several  years.  These  observations  are  contained  in  Table  1 1  and 
figure  37,  in  which  for  each  period  the  difference  between  the  meas- 
urement for  all  the  immigrants  and  for  those  arriving  during  each 
period  are  given.

A  further  investigation  of  the  cephalic  index  has  shown  that  this 
measurement  as  observed  among  Bohemians,  Hebrews,  Sicilians,  and 
Neapolitans,  immigrating  at  different  periods  between  1860  and  1909, 
is  almost  constant,  so  that  the  arinual  differences  can  not  account  for 
the  change  of  type  of  the  descendants  of  immigrants.  This  result  has 
been  obtained,  first,  by  a  direct  comparison  of  types  immigrating  at 
different  periods.  Furthermore,  I  have  compared  the  cephalic  index 
of  all  immigrants  of  a  certain  year  and  that  of  their  descendants. 
I  have  tabulated  in  the  same  manner  the  width  of  face  of  Bohe- 
mians. It  appears  from  these  tabulations,  Tables  12  and  13,  figures 
38  and  39,  that  the  differences  which  are  exhibited  by  the  whole  series 
exist  also  between  the  immigrants  who  arrived  here  in  a  certain  year 
and  their  descendants.0  The  purely  statistical  explanation  of  the 
phenomenon  may  therefore  be  dismissed. 

It  may  be  remarked  here  that  the  stature  of  Sicilians  and  Nea- 
politans is  considerably  more  than  those  recorded  by  Livi  for  enlisted 
soldiers.  According  to  Livib  these  values  range  for  the  districts  in 
question  from  1626  to  1635  mm.  Here  it  must  be  remembered  that 
all  individuals  under  154  cm.  are  excluded  from  the  army,  and  that 
in  all  the  lower  values  a  considerable  elimination  occurs  which  will 
depress  the  average  stature  by  fully  0.5  cm.  The  difference  between 
the  American  and  European  value  is,  therefore,  about  2.5-3  cm., 
which  seems  more  than  can  be  allowed  for  the  shoes,  the  American 
measurement  being  taken  with  shoes.  It  would  require  a  further 
study  to  determine  whether  any  selection  of  taller  individuals  has 
taken  place.

FIG.  37.— Comparison  of  measurements  of  immigrants  arriving  in  America  at  different  periods. 


In  this  diagram  the  average  measurements  of  all  adult  immigrants,  males  and  females,  have  been  taken  as 
a  norm,  and  the  differences  between  immigrants  arriving  at  different  periods  and  the  general  norm  have 
been  plotted.  On  the  whole,  the  diagram  does  not  show  any  striking  changes  in  type,  although  the  change 
in  the  width  of  face  requires  explanation.  The  most  striking  feature  of  the  diagram  is  the  general  decrease 
in  all  measurements  in  the  period  following  the  year  1894,  which  indicates  that  the  arrivals  during  the 
period  following  the  panic  of  1893  were  underdeveloped  in  every  direction.  The  increase  in  the  cephalic 
mdex  during  the  same  period  does  not  contradict  the  data  contained  in  the  other  curves,  because  the  index 
is  not  an  absolute  measurement,  but  the  ratio  between  length  of  head  and  width  of  head.  A  preliminary 
tabulation  of  the  measurements  after  1907  shows  a  similar  decrease  to  the  one  noted  here.  This  decrease  i& 
perhaps  due  to  the  panic  of  1907.

FIG.  39.  —Width  of  face  of  foreign-born  and  American-born  adult  Bohemians  for  each  year  of  immigration. 

Scale,  1  square=0.5  mm. 

The  diagram  shows  that  the  width  of  face  of  the  American-born  is  much  less  than  that  of  the  foreign-born. 

In  order  to  overcome  all  possible  objections  based  on  the  assump- 
tion of  a  different  composition  of  the  immigrant  series  and  of  the 
American-born  series,  1  have  also  compared  the  measurements  of 
parents  and  their  own  foreign-born  and  American-born  children. 
The  results  of  this  tabulation  are  contained  in  Table  14.  The 
figures  contained  in  this  table  were  obtained  in  the  following  manner: 
For  each  year  the  difference  between  father  and  his  American- 
born  son,  father  and  his  American-born  daughter,  mother  and  her 
American-born  son,  and  mother  and  her  American-born  daughter, 
were  determined;  and  these  were  compared  with  the  series  giving 
the  same  differences  for  the  parents  and  their  foreign-born  children. 
After  these  differences  had  been  obtained  for  each  year  and  for  the

four  possible  combinations  of  sexes,  the  difference  obtained  for  par- 
ents and  their  American-born  children  was  compared  with  the  dif- 
ference between  parents  and  their  foreign-born  children,  the  latter 
being  subtracted  from  the  former.  Since  the  parents  of  both  groups, 
foreign-born  and  American-born,  are  of  the  same  type,  when  the 
American-born  child  has  a  larger  measurement  than  the  foreign-born 
child  the  difference  of  the  values  compared  will  be  negative,  and  when 
the  measurement  of  the  American-born  is  less  than  that  of  the  foreign- 
born  the  difference  will  be  positive.  The  values  in'  Table  14  were 
obtained  by  averaging  the  results  for  all  ages  and  for  all  combinations 
of  sexes.  It  will  be  seen  that  the  results  of  the  observations  agree 
with  the  results  obtained  by  the  generalized  comparison  of  the 
foreign-born  and  American-born,  as  given  in  Table  7.  Among  the 
Bohemians,  for  instance,  we  find  the  stature  increased,  all  the  other 
measurements  decreased ;  among  the  Sicilians  we  find  stature,  length 
of  head,  and  width  of  face  decreased,  while  width  of  head  and  cephalic 
index  increase.  This  shows  clearly  that  an  actual  difference  between 
the  two  groups  must  have  developed.

More  difficult  to  investigate  is  the  hypothesis  that  the  mechanical 
treatment  of  infants  may  have  a  decided  influence  upon  the  form  of 
the  head,  and  that  the  changes  in  cradling  and  bedding  which  are 
made  by  immigrants  almost  immediately  after  their  arrival  in  America 
account  for  the  changes  of  head  form.  If  this  were  true,  the  continued 
changes  among  the  Hebrews  might  indicate  merely  that  the  American 
method  of  cradling  is  used  the  more  frequently  the  longer  the  family 
has  resided  in  this  country.  A  number  of  investigators  have  claimed 
that  the  position  of  the  child  on  the  back  tends  to  produce  short- 
headedness,  and  that  the  position  on  the  side  tends  to  produce  long- 
headedness.a  There  is  good  evidence  that  a  flattening  of  the  occiput 
occurs  when  a  very  hard  pillow  is  used  and  the  child  lies  permanently 
on  its  back.  This  is  the  case,  for  instance,  among  many  Indian 
tribes ;  and  similar  results  might  obtain  if  a  swathed  child  were  to  lie 
permanently  on  its  back.  The  prevalence  of  rachitis  in  New  York 
would  favor  distortion  due  to  pressure.  While  I  can  not  disprove 
the  existence  of  such  influences,  I  think  weighty  considerations  are 
against  their  acceptance.  If  we  assume  that  among  the  Hebrews 
the  children  born  abroad  have  a  lesser  length  of  head  than  those  born 
here,  because  they  are  swathed  and  lie  more  permanently  on  their 
backs  than  the  American-born  children  who  can  move  about  freely,

blatt  fur  Gynakologie,  1904,  XXIX,  No.  7). 


Changes  in  Bodily  Form  of  Descendants  of  Immigrants.        71 

we  must  conclude  that  there  is  a  certain  compensatory  decrease  in 
the  other  diameters  of  the  head  of  the  American-born.  Since  this 
compensation  is  distributed  in  all  directions,  its  amount  in  any  one 
direction  will  be  very  small. a  The  decrease  in  the  width  of  head  that 
has  been  observed  is  so  large  that  it  can  not  be  considered  simply  as  an 
effect  of  compensation;  but  we  have  to  make  the  additional  hypothe- 
sis that  the  American-born  children  lie  so  much  on  their  sides  that  a 
narrowing  of  the  head  is  brought  about  by  mechanical  pressure. 
The  same  considerations  hold  good  in  all  the  other  types.  If,  there- 
fore, in  one  case  the  greater  freedom  of  position  of  the  child  increases 
the  length  of  its  head,  it  is  difficult  to  see  why,  among  the  Bohemians, 
the  same  causes  should  decrease  both  horizontal  diameters  of  the 
head,  and  why,  among  the  Sicilians,  the  length  should  decrease  and 
the  width  increase. 

Dr.  S.  Breitenfeld,  who  is  familiar  with  the  treatment  of  infants 
both  in  Bohemia  and  in  New  York  City,  informs  me  that  in  Bohemia 
new-born  children  are  swaddled  from  the  shoulders  down.  During 
the  first  four  or  six  weeks  of  life  the  arms  are  also  tied  to  the  body. 
The  Bohemian  claims  that  the  swathing  serves  to  keep  the  limbs 
straight.  The  head  is  covered  with  a  cap  made,  among  the  well-to-do, 
of  lace,  and  among  the  poor,  of  muslin  or  other  material.  The 
object  of  the  cap  is  said  to  be  to  keep  the  ears  close  to  thejhead,  but 
the  pressure  exerted  by  the  cap  is  very  slight  only.  The  head  rests  on 
a  soft  pillow  made  of  feathers  or  down.  The  child  is  carried  about 
on  a  cushion  (Steckkissen) .  The  swaddling  is  continued  for  five  or  six 
months.  The  Bohemians,  on  coming  to  America,  do  not  give  up  the 
custom  of  swaddling  right  away,  but  it  is  gradually  discontinued. 
Children  are  carried  for  baptism  almost  always  in  swaddling  clothes. 
The  cushions  used  by  the  Bohemians  in  America  are,  on  the  whole, 
harder  than  those  used  by  Bohemians  abroad.  On  the  whole  it 
seems  probable  that  Bohemian  children  born  abroad  lie  more  regu- 
larly on  their  backs  on  soft  cushions  than  do  American-born  children, 
who  move  more  freely  but  lie  on  harder  cushions.  The  Bohemian 
Hebrews  give  up  the  custom  of  swathing  their  children  much  more 
rapidly  than  the  Bohemians. 

Doctor  Breitenfeld  also  believes  that  rachitis  is  much  more  common 
among  Bohemian  children  living  abroad  than  among  Bohemian 
children  living  in  New  York,  and  that  in  Bohemia  itself  rachitis  is 
more  common  in  the  country  than  in  the  cities. 

Dr.  Maurice  Fishberg  had  the  kindness  to  give  me  the  following 
information : 

In  eastern  Europe  the  Slavs,  as  well  as  the  Jews,  swathe  their  new-born  infants 
with  roller  bandages  from  the  shoulders  down  to  the  ankles.  The  infant  is  usually 
kept  flat  on  its  back  on  a  soft  pillow.  This  swathing  is  continued  for  at  least  three 
months,  often  as  long  as  six,  and  even  longer  when  the  infant  is  of  poor  vitality.  I 
do  not  believe  that  the  horizontal  position  in  which  these  infants  are  kept  has  any 
influence  on  the  shape  of  their  heads.  The  fact  that  the  pillows  on  which  they  are 
kept  are  quite  soft,  made  as  they  invariably  are  of  feathers  or  even  down,  precludes 
any  effective  pressure  on  the  occiput.  Indeed,  there  is  hardly  any  difference  in  the 
pressure  on  the  occiput  between  swathed  and  other  children.  They  are  often  turned 
on  their  sides.  In  New  York  City  the  immigrants  discard  swathing  completely. 
Among  thousands  of  infants  seen  by  me  in  my  practice  I  never  saw  one  swathed. 

"See  F.  Boas,  The  Cephalic  Index  (American  Anthropologist,  N.  S.,  vol.  I  [1899], 
p.  448  et  seq.). 


72  The  Immigration  Commission. 


Rickets,  atrophy,  malnutrition,  scrofula,  etc.,  are  quite  common  among  the  Jews  in 
eastern  Europe.  The  fact  that  they  are  town  dwellers  almost  exclusively  and  have 
an  appalling  proportion  of  poor  and  destitute,  coupled  with  a  high  fecundity,  explains 
it.  In  Wilna,  Dr.  S.  Kowarsky  (Wratchebnaia  Gazeta,  No.  20, 1908)  shows  that  Jewish 
infants  are  more  often  rickety  than  the  Christians  in  that  city.  The  same  is  true  of 
other  cities  in  Russia,  Poland,  and  Roumania.  In  New  York  City  the  reverse  is  true. 
The  proportion  of  Jewish  infants  with  rickets  is  much  less  than  among  non-Jewish 
infants  of  the  same  social  and  economic  status.  The  reasons  are  the  improvement  in 
their  economic  conditions,  as  compared  with  eastern  Europe,  as  well  as  the  fact  that 
comparatively  few  mothers  go  out  to  work  after  marriage,  rarity  of  artificial  feeding, 
etc.  It  appears  to  me  that  the  Italian  children  in  New  York  City  very  often  suffer 
from  rickets,  probably  more  often  than  in  southern  Italy. 

Dr.  Antonio  Stella  has  had  the  kindness  to  give  me  the  following 
information  in  regard  to  the  treatment  of  Italian  children: 

Neapolitan  and  Sicilian  children  are  swathed,  the  bandages  extending  from  the 
shoulders  down.  For  several  months  the  arms  are  tied  to  the  body,  while  later  the 
bandaging  continues  from  the  chest  downward.  The  swaddling  is  generally  contin- 
ued until  the  children  are  weaned.  The  mattress  of  the  child  is  made  of  wool,  and 
the  pillow  is  either  made  of  wool  or  of  feathers.  It  would  seem  that,  according  to 
description,  the  pillow  is  harder  than  that  used  by  the  Hebrews  and  Bohemians. 
During  the  hot  season  the  children  are  left  freer  than  in  winter.  They  are  not  carried 
about  on  cushions,  but  in  the  arms  of  the  mothers.  After  immigration  the  Italians 
do  not  give  up  the  custom  of  swaddling  children,  but  continue  for  years  the  same 
habits  to  which  they  are  accustomed  in  Europe. 

The  question  whether  the  heads  of  children  of  immigrants  are  more 
plastic  than  those  of  the  foreign-born  children,  owing  to  greater  fre- 
quency of  rachitis,  can  not  easily  be  answered.  Doctor  Breitenfeld 
believes  that  rachitis  is  much  more  common  among  European  Bohe- 
mians than  among  Bohemians  in  New  York  City,  while  Doctor  Stella 
asserts  that  the  reverse  is  true  among  the  Italians;  but,  even  allowing 
for  the  greater  plasticity,  the  treatment  of  the  infant  would  not 
explain  in  a  simple  manner  the  changes  that  have  been  observed. 

The  development  of  the  width  of  the  face  seems  to  my  mind  to 
show  most  clearly  that  it  is  not  the  mechanical  treatment  of  the 
infant  that  brings  about  the  changes  in  question.  The  cephalic  index 
suffers  a  very  slight  decrease  from  the  fourth  year  to  adult  life.-  It  is 
therefore  evident  that  children  who  arrive  in  America  very  young 
can  not  be  much  affected  by  American  environment  in  regard  to 
their  cephalic  index.  On  the  other  hand,  if  we  consider  a  measure- 
ment that  increases  appreciably  during  the  period  of  growth,  W3  may 
expect  that  in  children  born  abroad  but  removed  to  America  when 
young,  the  total  growth  may  be  modified  by  American  environment. 
The  best  material  for  this  study  is  presented  by  the  Bohemians,  among 
whom  there  are  relatively  many  full-grown  American-born  indi- 
viduals. The  width  of  face  of  Bohemians,  when  arranged  according 
to  their  age  at  the  time  of  immigration,  shows  that  there  is  a  loss  among 
those  who  came  here  as  young  children — the  greater  the  younger  they 
were.  Continuing  this  comparison  with  the  American-born,  born 
one,  two,  etc.,  years  after  the  arrival  of  their  mothers,  the  width  of 
face  is  seen  to  decrease  still  further.  It  appears  therefore  that  the 
American  environment  causes  a  retardation  of  the  growth  of  the 
width  of  face  at  a  period  when  mechanical  influences  are  no  longer 
possible.  This  is  shown  by  Table  15  and  figure  40.

FIG.  40. — Width  of  face  of  foreign-born  and  American-born  adult  Bohemians  arranged  according  to  time 
elapsed  between  birth  and  immigration.    Scale,  1  square=0.5  mm. 

The  diagram  shows  that  the  width  of  face  of  individuals  who  were  born  more  than  ten  years  before  their 
arrival  here  ranges  about  142.5  mm.  From  here  on  a  gradual  decrease  in  the  width  of  face  sets  in,  which 
continues  among  those  born  in  America. 

I  have  not  carried  through  the  analogous  investigation  for  stature, 
because  in  this  case  the  increase  might  simply  be  ascribed  to  the 
better  nutrition  of  most  of  the  north  and  central  European  immi- 
grants after  their  immigration  into  this  country. 

There  is  another  hypothesis  which  might  account  for  the  observed 
changes  of  type.  If  it  were  assumed  that  among  the  descendants  of

immigrants  born  in  America  there  are  an  appreciable  number  who  are 
in  reality  children  of  American  fathers,  not  of  their  reputed  fathers, 
a  general  assimilation  with  the  American  type  would  occur.  Socially 
this  condition  is  not  at  all  plausible,  but  on  account  of  the  importance 
of  the  phenomenon  that  we  are  discussing  it  should  be  considered. 
I  do  not  think  that  any  of  the  observations  that  have  been  made 
are  in  favor  of  this  theory.  The  changes  that  occur  in  the  Bohemians 
who  arrive  here  as  young  children,  the  different  directions  of  the 
changes  in  distinct  types,  particularly  the  shortening  of  the  head  of 
the  Bohemians  and  of  Italians,  do  not  favor  the  assumption.  Fur- 
thermore, if  the  modification  were  due  to  race  mixture  the  similarity 
between  fathers  and  American-born  children  should  be  less  than  the 
similarity  between  fathers  and  foreign-born  children.  There  is  no 
indication  that  this  is  the  case,  for  the  index  of  correlation  which 
expresses  the  degree  of  similarity  is  about  the  same  in  either  group, 
0.37  between  fathers  and  foreign-born  children,  0.39  between  fathers 
and  American-born  children.  (See  p.  154  et  seq.) 

That  the  index  of  correlation  is  a  sensitive  index  of  similarity  and, 
we  may  say,  of  purity  of  sexual  relations,  is  shown  by  the  correlation 
for  color  of  hair  between  Hebrew  mothers  and  daughters,  which  is 
exceptionally  low  (0.13  for  616  cases),  because  many  mothers  wear 
wigs,  and  perhaps  some  daughters  dye  their  hair. 

This  hypothesis  is  also  shown  to  be  untenable  by  the  comparisons 
of  fathers  and  mothers  with  their  own  foreign-born  and  American4 
born  children.  These  comparisons  show  that  the  differences  are  the 
same  in  the  case  of  fathers  and  children  and  of  mothers  and  children, 
so  that  obviously  the  same  conditions  must  control  the  relations 
between  fathers  and  their  children  and  mothers  and  their  children. 
In  other  words,  the  fathers  must  be  considered  as  the  true  fathers 
of  their  children. 

It  seems  to  my  mind  that  the  changes  that  have  been  observed  in 
the  transition  or  Europeans  to  the  environment  of  New  York  must 
be  considered  as  analogous  to  those  that  the  European  rural  popula- 
tion undergoes  when  it  moves  from  the  country  to  the  city.  Ammon,a 
who  was  the  first  to  observe  these  changes  in  Baden,  ascribes  them  to 
the  effects  of  natural  selection,  which  weeds  out  among  the  south 
Germans  that  move  to  the  city  the  more  short-headed  type,  while  the 
long-headed  type  survives.  Livi,6  who  made  similar  observations 
in  Italy,  believed  that  the  changes  are  simply  due  to  the  wider  range 
of  territory  from  which  urban  populations  are  drawn.  The  more 
yaried  descent,  from  which  the  urban  population  is  derived,  brings 
it  about  that  in  a  region  inhabited  by  short-headed  people  the  urban 
population  will  be  more  long-headed,  while  in  a  region  inhabited  by 
long-headed  people  it  will  be  more  short-headed,  than  the  rural 
population. 

I  believe  that  this  factor  is  of  considerable  importance  in  the  devel- 
opment of  differences  between  urban  and  rural  population;  but  our 
American  observations  show  that  there  is  also  a  direct  influence  at 
work.  Ammon's  observations  are  in  accord  with  those  on  our  Ameri- 
can city-born  central  Europeans;  Livi's,  with  those  on  our  American

city-born  Sicilians  and  Neapolitans.  Parallel  observations  made  in 
rural  districts  and  in  various  climates  in  America,  and  others  made  in 
Europe,  may  solve  the  problem  whether  the  changes  that  we  have 
observed  here  are  only  those  due  to  the  change  from  rural  life  to  urban 
life.  From  this  point  of  view  the  slight  changes  among  the  Scotch 
are  also  most  easily  intelligible,  because  among  them  there  is  no  marked 
transition  from  one  mode  of  life  to  another,  most  of  those  measured 
having  been  city  dwellers  and  skilled  tradesmen  in  Scotland,  and 
continuing  the  same  life  and  occupation  here. 

On  the  whole,  it  seems  more  likely  that  the  phenomena  observed  in 
the  cities  of  Europe  and  among  the  descendants  of  immigrants  in 
America  are  analogous,  but  not  the  same;  that  both  are  expressions 
of  the  general  plasticity  of  human  types  when  living  under  different 
conditions.  The  variability  of  the  Hebrew  type  in  different  parts  of 
Europe,  which  has  been  so  clearly  demonstrated  by  Maurice  Fishberg,a 
is  also  in  favor  of  this  theory.  Doctor  Fishberg  has  shown  that  the 
Hebrew  type  in  various  parts  of  eastern  Europe  varies  somewhat,  and 
generally  in  accordance  with  the  type  of  the  surrounding  population. 
He  was  inclined  to  interpret  this  phenomenon  as  due  to  intermixture, 
but  it  may  well  be  an  expression  of  the  effect  of  environment  upon  the 
same  type. 

It  may  be  possible  that  the  wider  range  of  intermarriages  which 
occur  in  America  may  have  an  effect  upon  human  types.  The 
actual  intermarriages  in  small  villages  in  Europe  are  preponderantly 
of  such  character  that  the  same  strain  will  persist  for  a  long  periocj 
with  very  slight  disturbance  by  intermixture  from  outside,  the 
majority  of  intermarriages  in  small  communities  being  generally  in 
that  community.  When  immigrants  leave  their  home  and  settle 
in  large  cities  this  permanence  of  strain  is  entirely  broken;  and  it 
seems  at  least  possible  that  the  changes  which  have  been  noticed  in 
urban  types,  both  in  Europe  and  in  America,  may  in  part  be  due  to 
this  cause.  Our  present  views  of  heredity  would  make  it  plausible 
that  a  disturbance  of  the  established  type  would  occur  in  such  a  case, 
even  if  the  two  intermarrying  types  are  not  markedly  distinct.  It 
has  not  been  possible  up  to  this  time  to  investigate  the  material 
thoroughly  from  this  point  of  view;  but  I  believe  the  theory  deserves 
to  be  followed  up.  Modifications  in  the  distribution  of  sexes  have 
been  observed  in  an  analogous  case  in  the  Argentine  Republic,  where 
it  has  been  shown  that  in  intermarriages  between  Spaniards  and 
Italians  the  proportion  of  the  sexes  changes  materially.  The  infor- 
mation contained  in  our  material  will  permit  us  to  investigate  the 
question  here  suggested. 

Earnest  advocates  of  the  theory  of  selection  might  claim  that  all 
these  changes  are  due  to  the  effects  of  changes  in  death  rate  among 
foreign-born  and  American-born;  that  either  abroad  or  here  individ- 
uals of  certain  types  are  more  liable  to  die,  and  that  thus  these  changes 
are  gradually  brought  about.  On  the  whole,  it  seems  to  my  mind, 
the  burden  of  proof  would  lie  entirely  on  those  who  claim  such  a  cor- 
relation between  head  index,  width  of  face,  etc.,  and  death  rate — a 
correlation  which  I  think  is  highly  improbable,  and  which  could  be 
proposed  only  to  sustain  the  theory  of  selection,  not  on  account  of

any  available  facts.  I  grant  the  desirability  of  settling  the  question 
by  actual  observations,  but  until  these  are  available  we  may  point 
out  that  the  very  suddenness  of  the  changes  after  immigration,  and 
the  absence  of  changes  due  to  selection  by  mortality  among  the  adult 
foreign-born,  would  require  such  a  complicated  adjustment  of  cause 
and  effect  in  regard  to  the  correlation  of  mortality  and  bodily  form 
that  the  theory  would  become  improbable  on  account  of  its  complexity. 

It  would  be  saying  too  much  to  claim  that  all  the  distinct  European 
types  become  the  same  in  America,  without  mixture,  solely  by  the 
action  of  the  new  environment.  First  of  all,  we  have  investigated 
only  the  effect  of  one  environment,  and  we  have  every  reason  to 
believe  that  a  number  of  distinct  types  are  developing  in  America. 
But  we  will  set  aside  this  point  and  discuss  only  our  New  York 
observations.  Although  the  long-headed  Sicilian  becomes  more  round- 
headed  in  New  York  and  the  round-headed  Bohemian  and  Hebrew 
more  long-headed,  the  approach  to  a  uniform  general  type  can  not 
be  established,  because  we  do  not  know  yet  how  long  the  changes 
continue  and  whether  they  would  all  lead  to  the  same  result.  I  con- 
fess I  do  not  consider  such  a  result  as  likely,  because  the  proof  of  the 
plasticity  of  types  does  not  imply  that  the  plasticity  is  unlimited. 
The  history  of  the  British  types  in  America,  of  the  Dutch  in  the  East 
Indies,  and  of  the  Spaniards  in  South  America  favors  the  assumption 
of  a  strictly  limited  plasticity.  Certainly  our  discussion  should  be 
based  on  this  more  conservative  basis  until  an  unexpectedly  wide 
range  of  variability  of  types  can  be  proved.  It  is  one  of  the  most 
important  problems  that  arise  put  of  our  investigation  to  determine 
how  far  the  instability  or  plasticity  of  types  may  extend. 

Whatever  the  extent  of  these  bodily  changes  may  be,  if  we  grant 
the  correctness  of  our  inferences  in  regard  to  the  plasticity  of  human 
types,  we  are  necessarily  led  to  grant  also  a  great  plasticity  of  the 
mental  make-up  of  human  types.  We  have  observed  that  features  of 
the  body  which  have  almost  obtained  their  final  form  at  the  time  of 
birth  show  modifications  of  great  importance  in  our  new  surroundings. 
We  have  seen  that  others  which  increase  during  the  whole  period  of 
growth,  and  are  therefore  subject  to  the  continued  effect  of  the  new 
environment,  are  modified  even  among  individuals  who  arrive  here 
during  their  childhood.  From  these  facts  we  must  conclude  that  the 
fundamental  traits  of  the  mind,  which  are  closely  correlated  with  the 
physical  condition  of  the  body  and  whose  development  continues 
over  many  years  after  physical  growth  has  ceased,  are  the  more  sub- 
ject to  far-reaching  changes.  It  is  true  that  this  is  a  conclusion  by 
inference;  but  if  we  have  succeeded  in  proving  changes  in  the  form 
of  the  body,  the  burden  of  proof  will  rest  on  those  who,  notwithstand- 
ing those  changes,  continue  to  claim  the  absolute  permanence  of 
other  forms  and  functions  of  the  body. 

PROBLEM    OF   HEREDITY. 

In  the  course  of  our  investigation  it  has  been  necessary  to  inquire 
into  certain  problems  which  have  no  immediate  connection  with  the 
change  of  type  of  the  descendants  of  immigrants,  but  which  are  of 
great  importance  for  our  knowledge  of  the  amalgamation  of  differ- 
ent types  in  America.  The  most  important  of  these  is  the  problem 
of  heredity. 


Changes  in  Bodily  Form  of  Descendants  of  Immigrants.        77 

Two  theories  of  heredity  are  being  held.  In  accordance  with  one, 
the  children  show  a  tendency  to  revert  to  a  type  intermediate  between 
the  types  of  the  two  parents — a  mid-parental  type — or,  in  cases  of 
changes  of  types,  to  another  type  dependent  upon  the  mid-parental 
type.  In  other  words,  the  characteristics  of  the  parents  are  blended 
in  the  children.  According  to  the  other  theory,  the  laws  of  heredity 
act  rather  in  such  a  way  that,  in  regard  to  certain  traits,  either  the 
father's  or  the  mother's  type,  or  the  type  of  a  more  remote  ancestor, 
is  reproduced,  and  that  certain  parental  traits  may  be  dominant 
over  others.  In  a  generalized  way  we  may  say  that  by  dominance  is 
meant  the  tendency  of  one  particular  trait — either  the  father's  or  the 
mother's — to  appear  with  greater  frequency  in  the  children  than  the 
corresponding  but  different  trait  of  the  other  parent.  It  does  not 
necessarily  follow  that  all  the  traits  of  the  same  type  are  dominant, 
but  dominant  traits  may  be  present  in  both  parents,  some  in  one, 
some  in  the  other. 

In  a  mixed  population,  like  that  of  America,  in  which  the  fre- 
quencies of  mixtures  increase  with  the  increasing  social  amalgama- 
tion of  the  descendants  of  immigrants,  these  questions  are  of  prime 
importance,  and  it  seemed  desirable  to  obtain  as  much  information 
as  possible  on  this  point. 

An  inquiry  into  the  values  of  the  cephalic  index  has  shown  clearly 
that  the  type  of  heredity  in  intermarriages  in  the  same  race  is  that 
of  alternating  heredity.  Children  do  not  form  a  blend  between  their 
parents,  but  revert  either  to  one  type  or  to  the  other.  The  method 
by  means  of  which  this  problem  has  been  investigated  is  based  on 
the  consideration  that  in  case  children  show  a  tendency  to  revert  to 
a  type  intermediate  between  that  of  father  and  mother,  the  varia- 
bility of  all  the  children  in  each  family  must  remain  the  same, 
no  matter  what  the  difference  between  father  and  mother  may  be. 
On  the  other  hand,  if  there  is  a  reversion  to  the  parental  types,  we 
must  expect  that  the  variability  of  the  children  in  each  family 
will  increase  with  the  difference  in  type  between  the  two  parents. 
The  actual  calculation  of  these  data  requires  a  reduction  of  the  results 
according  to  the  number  of  children  to  each  family.  After  this  reduc- 
tion was  made  and  the  cephalic  index  of  the  mother  reduced  to 
corresponding  male  values,  it  was  found,  that,  when  the  difference 
between  the  parents  was — 

From  0-2.9  units,  the  variability  of  the  children  was. .  ±6.8  units. .  1102  cases). 

From  3-5.9  units,  the  variability  of  the  children  was. .  ±  6.7  units. .  736  cases). 

From  6-8.9  units,  the  variability  of  the  children  was. .  ±  8.3  units. .  317  cases). 

9  units  and  more,  the  variability  of  the  children  was.  ±13.0  units. .  108  cases). 

No  evidence  has  been  obtained  showing  that  one  type  is  domi- 
nant, but  all  show  equal  degrees  of  correlation  between  father  and 
child  and  between  mother  and  child  and  for  various  values  of  the 
cephalic  index. 

The  exact  character  of  the  alternating'  inheritance  can  not  be 
established  from  the  data  at  our  disposal.  Although  a  large  number 
of  families  have  been  investigated,  they  are  all  families  consisting  of 
father  and  mother  belonging  to  the  same  type,  and  consequently 
cases  of  great  differences  between  the  parents  are  rare;  and  these 
are  the  ones  which  bring  out  the  facts  of  alternating  inheritance 
most  clearly.  It  seems  from  the  discussion  of  the  available  data 


78 


The  Immigration  Commission. 


that  in  the  type  of  heredity  investigated — that  is,  of  the  cephalic 
index  among  members  of  the  same  type  of  man — the  facts  agree 
best  with  the  theory  which  assumes  the  absence  of  dominant  traits 
in  the  type,  an  equal  frequency  of  reversion  to  the  parental  types, 
a  lesser  reversion  to  ancestral  types,  and  the  existence  of  a  family  type 
(genotype) . 

PHENOMENA    OF    GROWTH. 

It  has  also  been  found  necessary  to  investigate  the  phenomena  of 
growth.  The  older  investigations  of  Bowditch,  Roberts,  Peckham, 
Porter,  and  myself,  not  to  mention  many  later  ones,  have  shown 
that  there  is  a  period  of  marked  acceleration  of  growth  during  the 
period  of  adolescence.  Our  inquiries  have  demonstrated  that  a 
similar  period  of  acceleration  occurs  in  the  growth  of  the  head,  most 
markedly  in  the  growth  of  the  length  of  the  head,  and  that  the  period 
is  synchronous  in  both  sexes  with  the  rapid  increase  in  the  bulk  of 
the  body.  The  occurrence  of  this  period  of  acceleration  of  growth 
during  the  period  of  adolescence  is  of  interest  because  the  periods 
of  rapid  growth  of  different  parts  of  the  body  are  not  by  any  means 
the  same  throughout.  (Table  16,  figure  41.) 

The  material  for  this  investigation  was  obtained  from  the  tables 
published  by  Rose,0  Ranke,6  Boas,c  and  by  use  of  the  tables  of  the 
Immigration  Commission.

Scale,  a,  6, 


This  diagram  shows  that  both  length  of  head  and  width  of  head  have  first  a  decreasing  rate  of  growth, 
then  a  more  rapid  growth  during  adolescence,  followed  by  a  gradual  decrease  in  rate  of  growth.  The  max- 
imum rate  at  the  period  of  adolescence  seems  to  be,  for  girls,  at  about  12  years;  for  boys,  between  15  and  16 
years. 

For  the  cephalic  index  the  greatest  rapidity  of  change  in  boys  is  also  about  15  years. 

The  cephalic  index  develops  in  a  peculiar  way.  It  is  about  con- 
stant during  the  early  years  of  life,  but  during  the  period  of  adoles- 
cence it  shows  a  rapid  decrease  in  both  sexes.  (See  p.  137  et.  seq). 

EFFECT    OF    SIZE    OF  FAMILY. 

Among  the  influences  upon  the  physical  development  of  children 
that  have  been  studied,  the  size  of  the  family  deserves  especial  men- 
tion on  account  of  the  tendency  of  American-born  families  to  decrease 
in  size.  Children  of  small  families  in  Toronto,  Ontario,  are  taller  than 
those  of  families  of  larger  size.  The  same  phenomenon  exists  in 
Oakland,  Cal.,  where  the  average  size  of  the  family  is  much  smaller 
than  in  Toronto.  About  the  same  proportions  prevail  among  chil- 
dren of  families  of  one,  two,  three  and  more  children,  as  in  Toronto.

FIG.  42.— Comparison  of  the  statures  of  children  in  families  of  different  sizes.    Scale,  1  square=0.02<r 

In  this  diagram  the  average  stature  of  children  in  families  of  all  sizes  has  been  assumed  as  a  norm! 
The  number  of  children  per  family  is  indicated  on  the  horizontal  line;  the  excess  or  defect  in  stature 
by  the  distances  between  the  broken  line  and  the  norm.  It  appears  that  children  in  families  that 
have  one  child  only  have  a  considerable  excess  in  stature;  that  the  stature  of  children  in  families 
of  from  two  to  four  sinks  to  the  norm,  while  the  stature  of  children  in  larger  families  is  consider- 
ably below  the  normal.  (The  figures  in  Table  19  do  not  quite  agree  with  those  given  on  the  diagram, 
on  account  of  corrections  made  in  the  table  after  the  diagram  had  been  completed.) 

The  numerical  values  express  the  excess  in  stature  in  multiples  of 
the  standard  variability.  In  order  to  reduce  them  to  centimeters,  each 
value  ought  to  be  multiplied  by  about  6.  It  appears  from  these  data 
that  the  physical  development  of  children,  as  measured  by  stature, 
is  the  better  the  smaller  the  family.  It  is  generally  assumed  that 
the  increase  in  stature  among  the  groups  that  are  better  situated 
economically  is  due  to  better  nutrition  than  is  found  among  the  poor. 
The  general  economic  advance  is  also  believed  to  account  for  the 
general  increase  in  stature  in  Europe.  I  am  inclined  to  lay  much 
greater  stress  upon  the  decrease  in  the  frequency  of  diseases  of  child- 
hood, which  have  a  retarding  influence  upon  growth  that  can  not  be 
made  up  after  the  detrimental  causes  have  been  overcome,  and  it 
may  well  be  that  lesser  frequency  of  diseases  brings  about  the  better 
development  of  children  in  small  families,  although  the  one-child 
families  might  be  expected  to  form  an  exception  from  this  point  of 
view.

82  The  Immigration  Commission. 


In  order  to  insure  greater  uniformity,  three  observers  were  sent 
to  each  school  in  which  measurements  were  taken,  and  in  these 
schools  a  considerable  number  of  control  measurements  were  made 
in  order  to  test  the  uniformity  of  the  observers.  On  the  whole,  the 
results  of  these  tests  were  perfectly  satisfactory.  Where  any  doubt 
arose,  which  was  the  case  particularly  in  some  measurements  of  the 
width  of  face,  these  measurements  were  eliminated. 

The  investigation  of  the  material  obtained  in  the  schools  showed 
remarkable  differences  in  type  among  the  children,  according  to  the 
period  elapsed  between  the  arrival  of  their  parents  in  this  country 
and  their  own  birth.  These  differences  were  so  peculiar  and  unex- 
pected that  it  seemed  indispensable  to  control  the  results  by  direct 
comparisons  between  the  children  and  their  own  parents.  For  this 
reason  the  school  measurements  were  supplemented  by  extended 
series  of  measurements  of  whole  families,  the  observers  making  a 
house-to-house  canvass,  measuring  families  of  immigrants,  with  their 
consent.  Naturally,  a  considerable  amount  of  opposition  was  offered 
to  observers  from  time  to  time,  and  I  wish  to  acknowledge  here  with 
thanks  the  assistance  of  the  Italian,  Jewish,  and  Bohemian  news- 
papers in  urging  the  members  of  these  various  nationalities  to  submit 
to  being  measured.  In  schools  statures  were  measured  without 
shoes.  In  family  measurements  it  was  unfortunately  impossible  to 
have  the  shoes  removed. 

The  instruments  used  for  our  measurements  were  a  wooden  height- 
measure  consisting  of  three  pieces,  with  a  movable  cross-arm  divided 
into  centimeters;  a  pair  of  steel  calipers,  similar  in  type  to  Broca's 
head-calipers,  with  dulled  point;  a  standard  of  hair-colors  made  by 
Messrs,  fi.  Dickson  &  Co.,  of  New  York.  The  attempt  to  utilize 
Martin's  eye-colors  was  not  as  successful  as  might  have  been  desired. 
No  samples  of  eye-colors  were  used  in  the  extended  investigation 
on  account  of  the  great  expense  involved  in  the  purchase  of  a  suffi- 
cient number  of  sets.  No  standards  were  used  for  the  determination 
of  the  skin-color,  and  for  this  reason  skin-color  and  eye-color  have 
not  given  results  of  great  value. 

It  was  my  plan  to  select  only  a  few  of  the  most  distinct  European 
types  for  our  investigation,  and  to  observe  these  as  nearly  as  possible 
hi  the  same  type  of  environment,  namely,  in  the  congested  districts 
of  New  York  City.  Owing  to  the  localization  of  various  nationalities 
and  the  general  scattering  of  the  north  Europeans,  the  social  environ- 
ment in  New  York  under  which  the  various  types  have  been  collected 
is  not  quite  the  same.  The  Hebrew  material  was  almost  entirely 
collected  on  the  lower  east  side  of  New  York  City.  Only  a  small  part 
was  obtained  from  the  neighborhood  of  Fifth  avenue  in  Harlem. 
The  Italian  material  was  collected  in  large  part  in  the  neighborhood 
of  Chatham  Square,  but  a  considerable  portion  was  obtained  on  the 
upper  east  side  of  New  York  City,  and  a  small  portion  in  Yonkers. 

The  Bohemian  material  was  collected  on  the  east  side,  between 
Third  and  First  avenues  between  Seventieth  and  Eighty-fourth 
streets.  The  Hungarian,  Polish,  and  Slovak  material  was  largely 
obtained  in  Brooklyn. 

The  way  in  which  the  people  live  together,  and  the  failure  of  some 
of  the  observers  to  understand  clearly  the  orders  given  for  their  work, 
have  brought  it  about  that  there  is  a  considerable  amount  of  scattering 
material.  I  desired,  for  instance,  to  confine  the  Italian  investigation 
to  Sicilians  and  people  from  the  extreme  southern  end  of  the  Italian 


Changes  in  Bodily  Form  of  Descendants  of  Immigrants.        83 

peninsula;  but  the  way  in  which  Neapolitans  and  Sicilians  live  together 
would  have  caused  such  difficulties  and  delays  in  collecting  data,  that 
it  seemed  best  to  coUect  both  groups  at  the  same  time,  and  to  discrim- 
inate later.  In  the  case  of  the  Bohemians  it  was  my  desire  to  confine 
the  investigation  as  strictly  as  possible  to  that  nationality,  because 
the  identification  of  the  descent  of  Slovaks,  Hungarians,  Poles,  and 
Ruthenians  entails  considerable  difficulties,  the  disentanglement  of 
which  requires  considerable  time.  Unfortunately  the  district  visited 
by  one  of  the  observers  was  to  a  very  great  extent  Hungarian  and 
Slovak  rather  than  Bohemian,  and  before  a  change  could  be  made 
a  large  body  of  Hungarian  data  had  been  collected.  Most  of  the 
Slovak  and  Hungarian  material  was  obtained  from  the  families  from 
northwestern  Hungary,  and  for  this  reason  a  distinction  between  the 
two  nationalities  was  entirely  out  of  the  question,  the  information 
given  not  being  sufficiently  distinct  to  show  whether  the  people  were 
of  Slovak  or  of  Hungarian  descent. 

The  Polish  material  which  was  obtained  is  very  much  mixed. 
The  large  body  is  from  Galicia,  Prussian  Poland,  and  the  south- 
western part  of  Russian  Poland,  but  mixed  in  appear  a  considerable 
number  of  Lithuanians  and  of  white  Russians. 

In  a  preliminary  investigation  I  have  compared  the  types  of  these 
three  groups  (Bohemian,  Hungarian  and  Slovak,  and  Poles),  which, 
on  the  whole,  appear  to  be  so  uniform  that  they  might  well  be  classed 
together;  but  since  the  differences  between  foreign-born  and  Ameri- 
can-born, which  are  the  essential  object  of  our  inquiry,  are  rather 
small,  it  seemed  best  to  select  material  as  homogeneous  as  possible, 
and  for  this  reason  the  Bohemians,  Slovaks  and  Hungarians,  and 
Poles  have  each  been  treated  as  one  single  group. 

The  last  two  series  are  rather  few  in  number,  but  the  results  ob- 
tained are  quite  in  accord  with  those  obtained  for  the  Bohemians. 

Unfortunately  the  collection  of  Scotch  data  proved  to  be  very 
laborious  and  slow,  on  account  of  the  scattering  of  members  of  this 
nationality  ah1  over  the  city.  For  this  reason  the  series  is  very 
short,  and  the  results  obtained  from  their  discussion  require  further 
corroborative  evidence. 

The  statistical  information  obtained  is  as  accurate  as  may  be 
expected  under  the  circumstances.  While,  on  the  whole,  the  place 
of  birth  of  the  parents  of  the  individuals  measured  could  be  deter- 
mined with  a  fair  degree  of  accuracy,  the  place  of  birth  of  the  grand- 
parents was  very  difficult  to  ascertain,  particularly  in  the  case  of 
school  children.  The  year  of  immigration  was  generally  given  by 
the  individuals  questioned  as  a  certain  number  of  years  ago,  and 
while  fairly  accurate,  can  not  be  taken  as  absolutely  certain.  A  par- 
ticular difficulty  was  caused  in  the  case  of  the  Italians  by  the  fact  that 
both  parents,  but  mostly  the  father,  came  to  America  a  number  of 
times,  and  that  the  informant  sometimes  gave  the  year  of  his  first 
arrival  here  as  the  year  of  immigration;  sometimes  that  of  his  arrival 
here  for  permanent  residence.  This  has  also  led  to  a  certain  amount 
of  uncertainty  in  regard  to  the  place  of  birth  of  children  who  were 
born  very  near  the  time  of  immigration  of  their  parents.  In  some 
cases  this  information,  as  explicitly  given,  is  contradicted  by  the 
statement  in  regard  to  the  year  of  arrival  of  the  parents,  which 
may  be  a  year  or  so  different  from  the  one  obtained  from  the  state- 
ment regarding  the  place  of  birth  of  the  children.  The  ages,  par-

ticularly  those  of  women,  are  also  not  absolutely  certain;  but  since 
the  adults  over  26  years  of  age  have  not  been  classified,  these  errors 
have  no  effect  upon  our  results.  While  the  sociological  data  can  not 
be  assumed  as  absolutely  correct,  their  discussion  shows  clearly 
that  on  the  average  they  may  be  taken  as  representing  the  true 
conditions. 

Judging  from  the  care  that  has  been  taken  in  obtaining  statistical 
information  and  from  the  character  of  the  observers,  I  believe  that 
the  errors  in  regard  to  time  of  immigration,  place  of  birth,  and  descent 
contained  in  our  blanks  are  no  greater  than  those  obtained  by  the 
enumerators  of  the  census.  I  do  not  hesitate  to  express  this  opinion, 
on  account  of  the  expressions  of  opinion  of  some  careful  census 
enumerators  who  had  also  worked  for  the  anthropometrical  division 
of  the  United  States  Immigration  Commission.  The  total  number 
of  cases  observed  for  each  nationality,  sex,  and  age  is  as  follows :

Owing  to  the  necessity  of  collecting  material  in  time  for  the  present 
report,  the  work  had  to  be  pushed  with  considerable  energy,  and  it 
was  necessary  to  train  observers  for  taking  these  measurements. 
In  all,  thirteen  observers  were  engaged  in  this  work,  and  particular 


Changes  in  Bodily  Form  of  Descendants  of  Immigrants.        85 


pains  were  taken  to  make  their  measurements  comparable.  The 
measurers  were  required  to  measure  one  another  from  time  to  time. 
In  Table  19,  I  give  the  results  of  these  measurements,  taken  on  the 
first  and  fourth  Saturdays  in  May,  1909.  The  vertical  columns  of 
the  table  indicate  the  measurements  of  the  same  observer;  the  hori- 
zontal lines,  the  measurements  taken  by  each  observer  on  the  others. 
It  will  be  seen  from  this  table  that  all  the  deviations  are  small,  and 
that  the  material  may  be  considered  as  quite  accurate.  The  names 
of  the  observers  are  indicated  by  their  initials.

It  seems  desirable  to  control  the  measurements  also  by  the  results 
obtained  by  different  observers  on  individuals  of  the  same  groups. 

The  determination  of  the  personal  equation  may  be  made  by 
comparing  the  average  obtained  by  each  observer  with  the  true  value 
of  the  whole  series.  It  may  be  assumed  that  the  personal  equations 
(e)  of  the  observers  are  distributed  according  to  the  laws  of  chance. 
The  differences  between  the  averages  of  each  observer  (a)  and  the 
total  average  (  A)  consist  of  the  accidental  error  x  and  the  personal 
equation  s. 


If  we  indicate  averages  by  brackets,  the  mean  square  value 


Since  [x2]  =  —  ,  where  o  is  the  standard  deviation  of  the  measurement 


n 


in  question,  and  n  the  number  of  observations,  we  find

The  general  average  may  therefore  be  found  by  giving  the  average 
obtained  by  each  observer  the  weight

Table  20 (pp.  87-90)  gives  the  results  of  all  observations  obtained 
by  various  observers  on  adults  of  various  human  types  and  the  num- 
ber of  cases  on  which  these  averages  are  based. 

Approximate  values  of  A  have  been  calculated  by  utilizing  those 
series  in  which  the  number  of  observations  made  by  each  observer 
were  fairly  large.  In  this  way  the  following  values  for  [e2]  were 
obtained:

Based  on  these,  the  weighted  averages  A  for  each  nationality 
represented  in  our  series  have  been  calculated,  and  are  given  in  the 
last  line  in  Table  20(pp.  87-90).  Table  21  (pp.  91,  92)  contains  the 
differences  between  head  measurements  of  single  observers  and  the 
general  weighted  averages. 

From  these  the  personal  equations  given  in  Table  2 la  (p.  92) 
have  been  calculated.

CHAPTER  III. 
COLOR  OF  HAIR. 

The  color  of  hair  was  determined  by  comparing  the  hair  over  the 
forehead  with  locks  of  hair  of  different  colors,  extending  from  black 
to  flaxen.  The  samples  were  17  in  number.  Besides  these,  there 
were  8  different  shades  of  reddish  hair,  beginning  with  a  very  light 
color  and  extending  to  a  very  dark-reddish  hue.  These  were  marked 
with  the  numbers  from  18-25.  Unfortunately  I  was  later  on  unable 
to  match  in  additional  samples  the  color  12,  so  that  the  sample  is 
missing  in  the  observations  made  on  Bohemians,  Slovaks,  roles, 
and  Hungarians. 

There  were  so  few  individuals  with  hair  of  a  red  color  that  the 
subdivision  of  the  reds  has  not  been  utilized  in  our  tabulations. 

The  different  samples  of  black,  brown,  and  blond  represent  essen- 
tially one  kind  of  pigment,  which  is  present  in  different  intensities. 
If,  therefore,  the  whole  series  from  black  to  flaxen  can  be  divided 
into  equal  intervals,  it  will  be  possible  to  determine  numerically  the 
color  of  the  hair. 

My  attempts  to  find  samples  of  hair  which  gave  the  impression  of 
equal  color  contrasts,  beginning  with  the  darkest  and  extending  up 
to  the  lightest,  were  unsuccessful,  because  the  different  colors  of  hair 
could  not  be  found  either  in  the  New  York  market  or  in  the  European 
market.  For  this  reason  I  was  compelled  to  utilize  a  series  of  colors 
which  had  arbitrary  distances,  and  which  were  numbered  from  1  to  17. 

It  seems  possible,  however,  to  ascribe  to  these  colors  numerical 
values. 

Our  whole  experience  justifies  the  assumption  that  the  distribution 
of  different  degrees  of  pigmentation  follows  in  general  the  law  of  proba- 
bilities— the  exponential  law.  If  this  is  true,  it  is  always  possible  to 
determine  with  accuracy  at  what  distance  from  the  average  value  of 
the  whole  series  a  certain  point  is  situated,  provided  we  know  the  fre- 
quencies with  which  the  event  in  question  occurs  below  and  above 
the  selected  point.  For  instance,  if  all  colors  darker  than  4  were 
found  to  occur  with  a  frequency  of  16  per  cent,  we  know  from  the 
tables  giving  the  values  of  frequencies  conforming  to  the  probability 
curve  that  the  color  4  will  represent  the  value  of  the  average  minus 
the  mean  square  variability.  I  have  determined  in  this  manner  the 
numerical  values  for  every  sample  of  hair  from  the  distribution  of 
hair-colors  among  the  Hebrews.  The  frequencies  of  the  observa- 
tions will  be  found  in  Table  22  (p.  94). 

The  values  of  the  multiples  of  the  mean  square  variation,  which 
will  be  found  in  the  fifth  column  of  our  table,  were  taken  from  Shep- 
ard's  table  of  the  integral  of  the  probability  function,  published  in 
the  second  volume  of  "Biometrika."

The  result  here  obtained  means  that  the  point  up  to  which  hair-colors 
are  classed  as  belonging  to  No.  1  will  be  2.58  a  removed  from  the  average 
color.  It  is  obvious  that  values  obtained  in  this  tabulation  are  the 
more  inaccurate  the  farther  they  are  removed  from  the  average, 
because  in  these  cases  a  slight  difference  in  the  relative  frequency  of 
a  certain  color  brings  about  very  large  differences  in  the  multiple  of 
o  to  which  they  belong. 

The  average  numerical  value  of  the  color  belonging  to  any  one  of 
the  numbers  may  now  be  determined  by  calculating  the  average 
value  of  the  intervals  corresponding  to  the  color-numbers.  This 
average  equals —

and  these  values  can  easily  be  calculated  from  the  table  above  referred 
to,  which  contains  both  the  ordinates  and  the  integrals  of  the  prob- 
ability curve.  In  this  manner  the  averages  contained  in  the  last 
column  of  Table  22  have  been  calculated. 

In  order  to  show  that  the  numerical  values  thus  obtained  are  appli- 
cable, we  have  to  make  an  analogous  tabulation  from  the  hair-colors 
obtained  among  other  people.  The  tabulation  of  the  Scotch  gives 
the  following  results:

In  order  to  compare  the  results  of  these  series,  we  have  to  desig- 
nate each  color  as  equal  to  the  average  of  the  particular  series  plus 
or  minus  certain  multiples  of  o\  and  if  we  designate  the  average  of 
the  Hebrews  as  a1}  that  of  the  Scotch  a2,  those  of  the  Bohemians  and 
Sicilians  as  a3  and  «4,  respectively,  the  standard  variation  of  the 
Hebrews  a1}  that  of  the  Scotch  o2,  of  the  Bohemians  o3,  of  the 
Sicilian  <74,  we  find  from  the  preceding  tables,  for  instance, 
For  no.  2:  a1  +

These  values  may  be  weighted  according  to  the  accuracy  of  the 
determination  of  each  multiple  of  o.  While  the  probabilities  from 
which  G  is  determined  are  the  less  accurate  the  nearer  the  probability 
is  to  0.5,  the  accuracy  of  o  increases  very  much  with  the  approach 
of  the  value  of  0.5.  Without  attempting  an  entirely  satisfactory 
weighting  of  the  multiples  of  a,  an  adequate  method  of  weighting  may 
be  obtained  by  observing  the  amount  of  change  in  the  value  of 
a  which  corresponds  to  the  standard  deviation  of  the  probability. 
The  standard  error  of  the  probability  p  is

or,  for  the  values  p  =  0.9,  we  finds  =  ±  0.3-/-

Unfortunately  the  extreme  ashen  blond  is  so  rare  in  our  series  that 
no  definite  numerical  value  can  be  ascribed  to  it.  For  this  reason  we 
will  assume  the  darkest  black  as  the  zero  point  of  our  series  and  divide 
the  whole  range  from  black  to  a  very  light  blond — not  quite  ashen 
blond — into  twenty  equal  divisions.  Deducting,  therefore,  the  mul- 
tiple of  a  in  the  preceding  table  from  the  value  for  the  darkest  black 
(1),  we  find  the  following  numerical  values  for  our  hair  samples:

The  dark  colors  are  farther  apart  than  seems  desirable,  while  the 
middle  colors  are  unnecessarily  numerous.  In  our  calculations  the

CHAPTER  IV. 

RELATIONS   BETWEEN   BODILY   FORM  AND   PERIOD  OF  IMMI- 
GRATION. 

The  summary  tables  given  on  pages  10-23  and  on  page  56  show 
that  differences  exist  between  the  physical  form  of  immigrants  and 
that  of  their  descendants.  It  is  necessary  to  investigate  these  changes 
more  fully,  particularly  in  regard  to  their  probable  causes  and  in 
regard  to  the  question  whether  they  are  cumulative;  that  is  to  say, 
whether  they  increase  with  the  time  elapsed  between  the  immigration 
of  the  parents  and  the  birth  of  their  children  born  in  America.  For 
this  purpose  we  will  first  of  all  investigate  the  characteristics  of  the 
Hebrew  immigration. 

The  Hebrew  material  which  has  been  collected  by  us  consists  very 
largely  of  immigrants  from  Russia,  Austria,  and  Roumania,  with  a 
comparatively  speaking  small  number  of  descendants  of  west  Euro- 
pean Jews.  . 

It  has  been  shown  by  Dr.  Maurice  Fishberg  a  that  Hebrews  from 
different  parts  of  eastern  Europe  show  appreciable  differences  in'type. 
For  this  reason  I  tried  first  to  subdivide  the  material  collected  by  us 
according  to  the  origin  of  the  people  from  different  parts  of  Russia, 
Galicia,  Roumania,  etc.  The  results  of  this  tabulation  may  be  sum- 
marized as  follows:

The  full  material  from  which  these  averages  are  derived  will  be 
found  in  Table  XVII  of  the  Appendix  (pp.  370-373).  The  differences 
between  various  types  found  by  our  observers  agree  well  with  those 
described  by  Dr.  Fishberg. 

The  results  of  this  classification,  however,  were  not  quite  satis- 
factory on  account  of  the  frequent  cases  of  mixture,  intermarriages 
between  Polish  and  Russian  Jews  from  various  parts  of  the  Russian 
Empire  being  quite  numerous.  Furthermore,  the  composition  of  the 
immigrant  population  subjected  to  measurement,  when  distributed 
according  to  provinces  and  to  year  of  arrival  in  America,  did  not 
show  material  changes  in  the  proportionate  number  of  individuals 
from  each  province  for  different  years.  For  this  reason  it  seemed 
best  to  treat  the  material  as  a  unit,  and  rather  to  determine  the 
physical  characteristics  of  the  immigrants  arriving  here  from  year 
to  year.  Table  11  and  figure  37  (pp.  65,  66)  show  the  results  of 
this  inquiry,  the  details  of  which  are  contained  in  Table  XVIII  of 
the  Appendix  (pp.  374-380).  :!U<«

100  The  Immigration  Commission. 

The  values  given  in  Table  11  (p.  65)  have  been  obtained  by  com- 
bining the  differences  for  men  and  women  from  the  norm  of  the  whole 
series  for  each  sex.  The  changes  in  the  amounts  of  measurements  for 
different  periods  are,  however,  so  irregular,  that  even  with  the  num- 
bers thus  obtained  no  very  clear  results  appear.  It  would  seem 
that,  on  the  whole,  there  has  been  a  decrease  in  length  of  head, 
width  of  head,  and  width  of  face,  since  the  middle  of  the  past 
century,  but  the  change  that  has  taken  place  is  rather  slight.  A 
feature  that  is  particularly  noticeable  is  the  general  drop  of  all 
the  absolute  measurements  after  the  year  1894.  An  attempt  to 
combine  all  the  material,  adult  and  children,  for  these  years,  brings 
out  the  sudden  drop  after  1893  even  more  clearly;  and  a  similar 
phenomenon  is  repeated  between  the  years  1907  and  1909.  For 
this  reason  I  am  inclined  to  believe  that  the  type  of  immigrants  is 
directly  affected  by  financial  panics.  This  can  be  due  only  to  a 
selection  which  takes  place  in  Europe,  and  which  may  also  be  affected 
by  the  return  emigration  from  the  United  States  to  Europe.  The 
material,  so  far  as  it  has  been  discussed,  does  not  give  a  definite 
answer  to  this  important  question,  the  solution  of  which  would 
require  a  series  of  parallel  measurements  taken  in  Europe. 

On  the  whole,  it  will  be  noticed  that  the  general  trend  of  change  in 
the  length  of  head,  width  of  head,  and  width  of  face,  among  immi- 
grants arriving  at  different  periods,  is  about  the  same;  namely,  a 
general  decrease  from  earlier  times  to  later  times. 

These  data  relating  to  the  change  of  type  of  the  immigrant  are 
important  in  a  study  of  the  differences  between  American-born  and 
foreign-born  individuals.  It  will  readily  be  seen  that  individuals  of 
the  same  age,  born  in  America  and  born  abroad,  and  belonging  to 
the  same  race,  represent  immigrants  of  different  periods.  For 
instance,  a  20-year-old  descendant  of  east  European  Hebrew  extrac- 
tion, born  in  America,  must  be  a  child  of  immigrants  who  came  here 
before  the  year  1889;  while  an  individual  of  the  same  age,  born 
abroad,  must  belong  to  the  group  of  immigrants  arriving  after  1889. 
The  following  tables  (29  and  30)  illustrate  clearly  the  difference  in 
period  of  arrival  of  foreign-born  and  of  the  mothers  of  American-born 
of  the  same  ages. 

If  there  is  a  difference  in  the  type  of  immigrants  of  different 
periods,  it  might  be  expected  that  these  differences  will  be  reflected 
in  the  types  of  American-born  and  foreign-born  individuals  of  the 
same  age.  Since  we  find  a  slight  general  decrease  in  the  values 
of  the  head  measurements,  which  continues  from  the  period  before 
1880  up  to  the  present  time,  it  might  be  inferred  that  the  average 
measurements  of  Ainerican-born  individuals  would  be  a  little  higher 
than  those  of  foreign-born  individuals.  The  actual  comparison  of 
American-born  and  foreign-born  individuals  shows,  however,  that  the 
length  of  head  of  the  American-born  is  greater  than  that  of  the  for- 
eign-born, and  that  the  absolute  width  of  head  and  width  of  face  of 
the  American-born  are  less  than  the  corresponding  measures  of  the 
foreign-born.  These  results  have  been  summarized  before  in  Table 
4  (pp.  18, 19)  and  figures  13,  18,  and  28  (pp.  35,  40,  and  50).  The 
full  data  will  be  found  in  Tables  VII  and  VIII  of  the  Appendix  (pp.  246 
et  seq.).  The  increase  in  the  length  of  head  and  the  decrease  in  the 
width  of  head  have  the  effect  that  the  cephalic  index  of  the  American- 
born  Hebrew  is  less  than  the  cephalic  index  of  the  foreign-born 
Hebrew  of  the  same  age.

o  Not  included  in  number  of  cases  and  average. 

In  discussing  this  result,  it  seems,  first  of  all,  desirable  to  investi- 
gate whether  the  apparent  change  of  type  that  takes  place  in  America 
becomes  more  pronounced  with  time.  In  order  to  investigate  this 
question,  I  have  tabulated  the  measurements  of  those  individuals 
who  were  born  in  America  ten  years  and  more  after  the  arrival  of 
their  mothers.  The  details  of  this  tabulation  will  be  found  in  Table 
XIX  of  the  Appendix  (pp.  381-386).  In  order  to  gain  a  clear  insight 
into  the  characteristics  of  these  measurements  I  have  compared  the 
three  groups  with  the  general  characteristic  measurements  of  each 
age.  The  general  measurement  was  obtained  as  an  average  of  the 
whole  series.  The  average  values  for  the  foreign-born,  and  for  that 
group  of  American-born  born  less  than  ten  years  after  the  arrival  of 
the  mother,  and  for  those  born  ten  or  more  years  after  the  arrival  of 


104 


The  Immigration  Commission. 


the  mother,  were  calculated,  and  the  difference  between  each  of  these 
averages  and  the  general  average  was  determined.  The  results  of  this 
tabulation  are  contained  in  Table  8  (pp.  58,  59)  and  figure  34  (p.  60). 
These  tables  show  very  clearly  that  the  change  in  type  is  progressive 
with  time.  The  differences  between  the  foreign-born  and  those  born 
ten  years  and  more  after  the  arrival  of  the  mother  are  throughout 
greater  than  the  differences  between  the  foreign-born  and  those  born 
less  than  ten  years  after  the  arrival  of  the  mother.  It  would  seem 
that  the  effect  of  American  environment  takes  place  almost  imme- 
diately after  the  arrival  of  the  parents,  and  that  the  later  effect  is, 
comparatively  speaking,  slight.  This  is  expressed  by  the  fact  that 
the  difference  between  the  foreign-born  and  those  born  less  than  ten 
years  after  the  arrival  of  the  mother  is  greater  than  the  difference 
between  the  two  American-born  groups.  This  fact  comes  out  very 
clearly  in  the  following  table :

I  have  introduced  in  this  table  also  the  differences  in  stature  and 
weight,  and  it  is  noticeable  that  in  these  two  cases  the  effect  of 
American  environment  seems  to  continue  much  longer  and  more 
markedly  than  in  the  other  cases. 

I  have  also  approached  the  problem  of  the  increasing  effect  of 
American  environment  upon  the  descendants  of  immigrants  by 
another  method.  The  determination  of  the  decrease  of  the  cephalic 
index  during  the  period  of  growth,  which  will  be  found  discussed  on 
pages  137  et  seq.,  has  made  it  possible  to  determine  the  characteristics 
of  the  general  change  in  type  of  the  descendants  of  immigrants  with 
greater  accuracy  than  has  been  done  heretofore.  I  have  tabulated 
the  measurements  of  American-born  individuals  according  to  the 
number  of  years  elapsed  since  the  immigration  of  the  mother,  and  of 
the  foreign-born  individuals  according  to  their  own  ages  at  the  time 
of  their  immigration;  in  other  words,  according  to  the  number  of 
years  elapsed  between  their  birth  and  their  immigration.  All  the 
ooys  have  been  reduced  to  adult  forms  by  assuming  a  decrease  of 
0.15  per  year  for  the  cephalic  index  up  to  the  twentieth  year.

The  following  table  gives  the  results  obtained  for  the  Hebrews. 
The  original  material  on  which  this  statement  is  based  will  be  found 
in  the  Appendix,  Tables  XX  and  XXI  (pp.  387-411).  The  table 
given  below  shows  clearly  a  gradual  decrease  of  cephalic  index  after 
immigration.

would  belong  to  the  first  generation  born  thirty  years  after  the

The  Immigration  Commission. 


The  change  in  type  from  the  time  of  immigration  may  be  expressed 
by  the  formula 

c,  =  83.2 -0.018*. 

It  will  be  seen  that  the  graphical  representation  (fig.  35a,  p.  62) 
as  well  as  the  formula  indicates  a  very  sudden  break  at  the  time  of 
immigration,  which  is  bridged  only  by  the  measurements  of  those 
born  in  the  year  of  immigration.  Considering  the  uncertainty  of 
information,  it  may  well  be  that  in  this  year  the  country  of  birth  is 
not  reported  with  adequate  accuracy,  and  that  in  reality  the  drop 
from  the  level  of  83.2  to  82  is  quite  abrupt. 

In  interpreting  these  results  we  have  to  consider  that  children  of 
various  ages  born  in  America  will  exhibit  an  influence  upon  the 
cephalic  index  dependent  upon  the  average  time  elapsed  since  immi- 
gration of  the  mothers.  In  order  to  eliminate  the  varying  effect  of 
this  cause  upon  children  of  different  ages  I  have  tabulated  the  aver- 
age time  elapsed  since  immigration  of  the  mother  for  American-born 
children  of  different  ages. 

The  correction  of  the  cephalic  index  for  each  year,  entered  in  the 
folio  whig  table,  has  been  obtained  by  multiplying  the  number  of 
years  elapsed  since  immigration  by  0.08  (see  p.  105).

This  table  shows  that  on  the  average  the  cephalic  index  of  American- 
born  individuals  must  be  increased  by  0.7  in  order  to  reduce  the  data 
to  the  values  of  individuals  born  immediately  after  the  arrival  of 
the  mother;  or,  in  other  words,  the  unconnected  values  refer  to  chil- 
dren born  on  the  average  about  nine  years  after  the  immigration  of 
their  mothers. 

In  order  to  eliminate  another  source  of  error,  it  seems  necessary 
to  investigate  more  fully  the  types  of  immigrants  which  come  to 
America  in  different  years.  The  change  in  type  of  Hebrew  immigrants 
has  been  discussed  before  (pp.  65,  100,  Appendix,  Table  XVIII), 


Changes  in  Bodily  Form  of  Descendants  of  Immigrants.     107 

based  entirely  on  observations  of  foreign-born  adults.  More  ex- 
tended material  may  be  obtained  by  reducing  foreign-born  children 
to  the  adult  foreign-born  standards,  in  accordance  with  the  data 
discussed  on  page  137  et  seq.  For  purposes  of  comparison  the  whole 
series  of  American-born  individuals  has  been  reduced  to  the  standard 
of  American-born  adults.  In  one  column  these  reductions  have  been 
made  without  reference  to  the  time  elapsed  since  the  immigration 
of  the  mother;  in  the  second  column  all  these  observations  have 
been  reduced  to  the  time  of  immigration,  in  accordance  with  the 
data  given  on  page  105.  The  table  (35,  p.  108)  is  arranged  in  the 
following  manner:  The  first  column  contains  the  year  of  immigra- 
tion of  the  individual  or  of  its  mother.  The  second  column  con- 
tains the  cephalic  index  of  the  foreign-born  reduced  to  the  adult  type, 
according  to  age  and  sex.  For  males  the  annual  reduction  from  5 
to  20  years  has  been  assumed  as  0.15;  for  females  the  same  reduc- 
tion has  been  assumed  from  5  to  17  years,  and  an  additional  amount 
of  0.5  has  been  subtracted  in  order  to  reduce  the  female  type  to  the 
male  type.  The  third  column  contains  the  cephalic  index  of  Ameri- 
can-born, with  the  reduction  for  sex  and  age.  The  fourth  column 
contains  the  same  values  corrected  for  sex,  age,  and  year  of  immi- 
gration. In  the  fifth  column  the  average  number  of  years  elapsed 
since  immigration,  and  the  number  of  cases  of  American-born,  are 
given.  Columns  6  and  7  contain,  respectively,  the  differences 
between  columns  3  and  2  and  columns  4  and  2 ;  in  other  words,  the 
differences  between  the  American-born  type,  excluding  correction 
for  time  elapsed  since  immigration,  and  the  foreign-born  type,  and 
the  difference  between  the  American-born  type  reduced  to  the  time 
of  immigration,  and  the  foreign-born  type.  In  column  8  the  weights 
of  these  differences  have  been  given.  Column  6  shows  very  clearly 
the  gradual  increase  of  the  difference  between  the  types  of  American- 
born  and  foreign-born  for  the  earlier  years  of  immigration.  This  is 
due  to  the  fact  that  at  this  period  the  tune  elapsed  since  immigration 
and  the  birth  of  the  American-born  individual  is  much  longer  than 
for  the  later  years.  Thus  the  cumulative  effect  of  American  environ- 
ment is  brought  out  with  great  clearness.  It  also  appears  that  the 
values  in  column  7,  which  have  been  corrected  for  the  interval 
between  immigration  and  birth,  are  fairly  constant.  The  average 
of  the  values  of  column  7  is  —0.7.  The  calculation  of  the  same 
difference  according  to  the  method  discussed  before  (see  pp.  105, 106) 
would  give  us  a  difference  of  —1.2.  These  tables  show  definitely 
that  the  differences  between  American-born  and  foreign-born  are 
not  due  to  a  different  composition  of  the  body  of  immigrants  at 
different  periods,  and  they  emphasize  the  cumulative  effect  of  the 
environment.  Column  2  shows  very  slight  differences  only  in  the 
cephalic  index  of  the  immigrants,  so  that  it  would  seem  permissible 
to  assume  that  no  changes  in  this  respect  have  taken  place  during 
the  Hebrew  immigration  from  1870  up  to  the  present  time.  In  fig.  38 
(p.  68)  have  been  plotted  the  values  contained  in  columns  2  and  3.

This  table  may  be  represented  by  the  formula 

ct  =  78.9  +  0.04* 

and  it  appears  therefore,  that  there  is  a  slight  continued  increase  of 
the  cephalic  index,  in  accordance  with  the  time  elapsed  between  the 
immigration  of  the  mother  and  the  birth  of  the  child.  Unfortunately, 
in  the  Sicilian  series  the  number  of  individuals  born  a  considerable 
number  of  years  after  the  arrival  of  the  mother  is  very  small,  and  for 
this  reason  the  change  in  type  does  not  appear  very  clearly.  It 
will,  however,  be  shown  (p.  Ill)  that  in  all  probability  the  change  in 
type  after  immigration  is  more  marked  than  the  present  table  seems 
to  suggest. 

An  investigation  of  the  cephalic  index  of  foreign-born  is  given  in 
the  following  table:

The  Immigration  Commission. 


For  the  period  from  0  years  to  18  years  this  series  may  be  repre- 
sented by  the  formula 

c,  =  78.0 -0.04*. 

The  full  table  shows,  however,  clearly  that  the  rate  of  decrease  in 
the  cephalic  index  is  due  only  to  the  apparent  changes  which  occur 
in  children  a  few  years  old  at  the  time  of  immigration.  When' we 
disregard  these,  the  cephalic  index  remains  practically  constant. 
It  might  seem  that  this  indicates  an  influence  of  American  environ- 
ment upon  the  young  American  child  which  was  not  noted  in  the 
Hebrew  series.  An  investigation  of  the  original  records  shows, 
however,  a  peculiar  uncertainty  in  regard  to  the  place  of  birth  in 
many  cases  where  the  child  was  born  near  the  time  of  immigration. 
This  is  due  to  the  frequent  habit  of  the  Italians  to  go  back  and  forth 
between  Italy  and  America  before  settling  here.  In  many  of  these 
cases  the  answers  regarding  the  birthplace  of  the  child  were  contra- 
dicted by  the  statement  regarding  the  year  of  immigration  of  the 
mother,  and  a  considerable  number  of  errors  seem  to  have  occurred 
in  the  collection  of  these  data. 

It  might  also  be  supposed  that  among  the  children  born  a  few  years 
before  their  own  immigration  into  this  country  there  are  a  consider- 
able number  whose  father  had  lived  here,  and  where,  owing  to  this 
fact,  the  mode  of  life  had  undergone  certain  changes;  but,  since  no 
data  are  available  showing  definitely  that  such  influences  did  occur, 
it  seems  fully  satisfactory  to  assume  that  the  uncertainty  in  regard 
to  place  of  birth,  for  those  born  near  the  time  of  immigration  of  the 
family,  accounts  satisfactorily  for  the  irregularities. 

It  has  been  shown  before  (p.  109)  that  the  average  time  elapsed 
since  immigration  of  the  mother  of  American-born  children  of  differ- 
ent ages  must  be  considered,  and  that  a  certain  correction  for  the 
cephalic  index  has  to  be  made  in  accordance  with  the  period  elapsed.

Changes  in  Bodily  Form  of  Descendants  of  Immigrants.     Ill 


Finally,  I  have  tabulated  the  type  of  Sicilian  foreign-born  and 
American-born  according  to  the  year  of  immigration  (Table  39,  fig. 
386,  p.  68).  The  table  is  analogous  to  Table  35,  p.  108.

The  table  of  differences  (column  6)  suggests  a  much  more  marked 
change  of  type  with  increase  of  time  elapsed  between  immigration  of 
mother  and  birth  of  child  than  is  obtained  from  the  data  given  in 
Table  36  (seep.  109). 

An  analogous  treatment  of  the  Neapolitans,  the  original  material 
for  which  is  given  in  Tables  XXIV  and  XXV  of  the  Appendix  (pp. 
432-449)  gives  the  following  results  (fig.  35c,  p.  62) :

The  Immigration  Commission. 


The  change  of  the  cephalic  index  with  the  increase  of  time  elapsed 
since  immigration  is  so  slight  in  this  case^that  it  may  be  disregarded. 

The  cephalic  index  of  foreign-born  shows  also  practically  no 
change  in  type.

The  tabulation  of  the  type  of  Neapolitan  foreign-born  and  Ameri- 
can born  according  to  the  year  of  immigration  (Table  42,  fig.  38c, 
p.  68)  is  analogous  to  the  table  given  on  page  108,  and  shows  that 
the  American-born  type  is  more  short-headed  than  the  foreign-born.

I  have  not  carried  through  a  similar  calculation  for  the  Bohemians, 
because  the  difference  between  the  cephalic  index  of  foreign-born  and 
that  of  American-born  is  not  as  marked  as  among  the  Hebrews  and 
Italians.  On  the  other  hand,  we  find  that  among  Bohemians  the 
width  of  face  of  foreign-born  and  American-born  shows  a  very  marked 
difference.  It  seems,  furthermore,  advantageous  to  compare  one  of 
the  characteristic  traits  which  changes  considerably  during  the 
period  of  growth.  The  width  of  face  is  favorable  for  a  study  of  this 
fcind,  because  its  increase  from  5  years  up  to  the  adult  stage  is  quite 
marked.  The  original  material  for  this  study  is  given  in  Tables 
XXVI  and  XXVII  of  the  Appendix  (pp.  450-468). 

Table  43  (fig.  40,  p.  73)  contains  the  values  for  width  of  face  of  adult 
Bohemians,  males  and  females,  arranged  according  to  the  time 
elapsed  before  the  immigration  of  the  individual,  or,  for  the  American- 
born,  for  the  time  elapsed  between  the  immigration  of  the  mother 
and  the  birth  of  the  child.  The  numbers  of  cases  for  some  of  these 
years  are  not  considerable,  and  for  this  reason  I  have  smoothed  the 
^distribution  by  calculating  the  average  for  any  group  of  three  years. 
These  smoothed  values  wnl  be  found  in  the  last  column  of  the  table. 
They  show  very  clearly  that  the  width  of  face  of  the  Bohemians  born 
abroad  is  about  142.5  mm.  Beginning  with  those  who  immigrated 
at  the  age  of  10  years,  and  extending  to  those  immigrating  very 
young,  a  marked  decrease  in  the  width  of  face  is  noticeable,  which 
continues  among  the  American-born  until  it  reaches  an  approximate 
value  of  139  mm.;  so  that  the  total  decrease  in  the  width  of  face  is 
nearly  4  mm.

CHAPTER  V. 

INVESTIGATIONS  OF  THE  CHANGE  OF  TYPE,  BASED  ON 
FAMILY  OBSERVATIONS. 

In  order  to  overcome  all  possible  influences  of  changes  in  the 
composition  of  the  immigrant  population  it  seems  necessary  to 
compare  parents  with  their  own  children.  If  it  can  be  shown  that 
the  differences  between  a  parent  and  his  child  born  abroad  are  not 
the  same  as  the  differences  between  a  parent  and  his  child  born 
in  America,  the  fact  would  seem  to  be  established  that  an  actual 
change  of  type,  due  to  environment,  takes  place  after  immigration. 
In  order  to  bring  out  this  point,  we  have  collected  a  large  number 
of  measurements  of  families,  and  we  have  compared  the  forms  of  the 
mothers  and  fathers  with  those  of  their  own  children. 

The  details  of  this  investigation  are  given  in  Tables  XXVIII- 
XXXI  of  the  Appendix  (pp.  469-508) .  Owing  to  the  comparatively 
small  number  of  cases  in  which  measurements  of  parents  and  their 
own  children  have  been  obtained,  the  groups,  fathers  and  own  sons, 
fathers  and  own  daughters,  mothers  and  own  sons,  mothers  and  own 
daughters,  are  each  rather  small.  It  therefore  seemed  advisable,  in 
order  to  bring  out  the  results  more  clearly,  to  combine  these  tables 
into  a  single  table  showing  differences  between  parents  and  children. 
These  summarized  tables  are  given  on  page  70  and  more  fully  in 
Table  45. 

If  d  expresses  the  difference  between  parent  and  his  own  child  of 
a  certain  age,  if  the  particular  age  is  indicated  by  tj  and  /  indicates 
foreign-born,  and  a  American-born,  then  the  figures  entered  in 
our  table  signify 

&tj — dt.a 

In  the  second  half  of  these  summaries  (Table  45)  the  observations  for 
the  different  ages  have  been  grouped  together,  and  the  measurements 
for  the  pairs  of  fathers  and  sons,  fathers  and  daughters,  mothers  and 
sons,  mothers  and  daughters,  have  been  kept  separate.

FIG  44  —Difference  in  length  of  head  between  parents  and  their  own  American-born  and  foreign-born 

children. 

Jn  this  diagram  the  difference  in  length  of  head  between  parent  and  his  own  American-born  child  is 
assumed  as  the  norm  and  indicated  by  the  zero  line.  The  difference  in  length  of  head  between  foreign- 
born  child  and  its  own  parent  differs  from  the  corresponding  difference  between  the  American-born 
child  and  its  parent.  This  difference  is  plotted  in  the  diagram. 

It  appears  feat  on  the  average  the  excess  for  the  Hebrew  child  has  a  considerable  negative  value;  for 
the  Sicilian  and  Neapolitan,  a  considerable  positive  value;  while  for  the  Bohemian  the  d 
rather  small     This  shows  that  the  heads  of  American-born  Hebrew  children  increase  considerably  in 
length,  while  those  of  Sicilian  and  Neapolitan  children  decrease  in  length.

Changes  in  Bodily  Form  of  Descendants  of  Immigrants.     123 


The  tables  given  here  (Table  45,  figs.  43-47)  show  very  clearly  a 
close  correspondence  between  the  results  obtained  by  the  generalizing 
method  (see  Tables  3-14)  and  those  obtained  by  this  individualizing 
method.  In  the  group  of  Bohemians  I  have  included  here  all  the 
measurements  of  Poles,  Hungarians,  and  Slovaks,  which  differ  so 
little  in  type  from  the  Bohemians  and  are,  comparatively  speaking, 
so  few. in  number  that  it  seemed  the  only  feasible  way  of  handling 
the  material.  Among  the  Bohemians  we  observed  that  the  stature 
\of  the  American-born  is,  on  the  average,  about  0.5  cm.  more  than 
that  of  the  foreign-born,  while  in  all  the  other  measurements  a 
decrease  takes  place  among  the  American-born;  the  length  of  head 
decreasing  on  the  average  about  0.5  mm.,  width  of  head  about  1.2 
mm.,  width  of  face  about  1.1  mm. 

Among  the  Hebrews  we  find  a  very  decided  increase  of  stature  and 
increase  in  length  of  head,  and  decreases  in  width  of  head  and  width 
of  face.  Among  the  Sicilians  the  stature  shows  a  marked  decrease. 
A  decrease  may  also  be  observed  in  the  length  of  head  and  width 
of  face,  while  the  width  of  the  head  increases.

A  comparison  between  Tables  45  (2)  and  46  is  contained  in  Table 
47,  which  shows  that,  on  the  whole,  the  differences  between  parents 
and  their  children  born  in  America  become  more  marked  with 
increasing  time  elapsed  since  the  arrival  of  the  parents  in  America 
before  the  birth  of  the  child.  The  total  number  of  cases  available 
for  the  purpose  of  this  study  is  not  great  enough  to  allow  us  to 
expect  great  regularity  in  the  results.  The  differences  which  are 
combined  in  this  table  have  been  weighted  in  accordance  with  the 
numbers  of  foreign-born  and  American-born  children  that  have  been 
compared  for  each  year,  and  the  weights  thus  obtained  have  been 
given  here  in  the  same  way  as  the  number  of  cases  in  previous  tables.

A  combination  of  these  values  for  all  ages  gives  the  result  that 
children  born  less  than  ten  years  after  the  arrival  of  their  mothers  in 
America  lose  0.9  units  in  their  cephalic  index,  and  those  born  ten  years 
or  more  after  their  mothers'  arrival  in  America  lose  1.9  units  in  their 
cephalic  index,  as  compared  to  foreign-born  children.  In  Table  31 
(p.  104)  the  corresponding  values  are  given,  obtained  from  more  exten- 
sive but  less  homogeneous  material,  in  so  far  as  the-  children  have  not 
been  compared  with  their  own  parents,  but  the  general  types  of 
foreign-born  and  American-born  children  have  been  compared.  The 
table  shows  that  children  born  less  than  ten  years  after  their  mothers7 
arrival  in  America  lose  1.4  units  in  their  cephalic  index;  those  born 
ten  years  or  more  after  their  mothers'  arrival  lose  2.2  units.  The 
values  show,  therefore,  a  satisfactory  agreement. 

Thus  it  appears  that  the  conclusion  reached  from  a  comparison  of 
the  gross  material  of  American-born  and  foreign-born  individuals  is 
sustained  by  the  comparison  between  parents  and  their  own  children. 


CHAPTER  VI. 
GROWTH. 


PHYSIOLOGICAL  DEVELOPMENT. 

So  far  as  our  investigations  show,  the  differences  between  the 
American-born  and  foreign-born  types  persist  throughout  the  period 
of  growth.  No  material  has  been  collected  for  the  first  four  years  of 
life,  but  with  the  fourth  year  the  differences  appear  clearly  estab- 
lished. It  might  be  conceived  that  the  increase  in  stature  of  the 
growing  Hebrew^  child  is  due  to  a  physiological  acceleration  of  his 
development  as  compared  to  the  foreign-born  child.  Previous  obser- 
vations show  clearly  that  an  acceleration  of  development  takes 
place  with  the  improvement  of  the  economic  conditions  of  life.  For 
this  reason  it  seemed  important  to  compare  the  general  physiological 
development  of  foreign-born  and  American-born  children.  Unfortu- 
nately the  limited  time  and  means  at  our  disposal  did  not  permit  us 
to  carry  through  this  investigation  in  such  detail  as  is  desirable,  and 
only  a  rough  series  of  observations  on  the  pubescence  of  boys  was 
taken  according  to  the  methods  developed  by  Dr.  C.  Ward  Cramp  ton. 

The  following  table  shows  the  relative  frequency  of  degrees  of 
pubescence.  P.  I.  designates  the  absence  of  pubic  hair;  P.  II, 
short  straight  pubic  hair  in  course  of  development;  P.  Ill,  fairly 
full  development  of  pubic  hair.

It  will  be  seen  that  the  first  column  is  nearly  identical  for  American- 
born  and  foreign-born,  while  the  period  of  transition  from  childhood 
to  the  adult  stage  shows  certain  differences.  The  number  of  cases  is, 
however,  so  small  that  we  are  not  justified  in  assuming  an  actual 
difference  in  the  physiological  development  of  the  two  divisions.

The  infantile  types  for  each  age  are  retarded  as  compared  to  the 
normal  development  of  their  age,  and  this  retardation  is  the  greater, 
the  older  the  children.  On  the  other  hand,  the  adult  type  for  each 
age  is  accelerated  in  its  development,  and  the  more  so,  the  younger 
the  children  among  whom  the  adult  type  is  found.  This  is  expressed 
by  the  fact,  brought  out  previously  by  Dr.  C.  Ward  Crampton,  that 
the  infantile  type  for  each  age  is  considerably  smaller  than  the 
adolescent  type,  which  again  is  smaller  than  the  mature  type.  When 
the  statures  of  these  types  are  compared  for  American-born  and 
foreign-born  children,  it  appears  that  the  American  born  are  through- 
out taller  than  the  foreign  born  of  the  same  age  and  the  same  stage

the  foreign-born.  The  apparent  drop  in  stature  at  15  years  for  the  infantile  and  adolescent  groups  is 
due  to  the  fact  that  these  two  groups  contain  excessively  retarded  individuals  only.

of  development.  This  shows  clearly  that  the  greater  size  of  American- 
born  children  is  not  entirely  due  to  an  acceleration  of  development. 
The  head  measurements  show  also  the  same  typical  differences  for 
all  stages  of  maturity. 

According  to  the  data  contained  in  this  table,  the  beginning  of 
pubescence  occurs  very  nearly  at  the  same  time  among  American 
born  and  foreign  born,  while  maturity  among  the  American  born 
may  be  reached  slightly  earlier  than  among  the  foreign  born,  but  the 
difference  in  period  seems  to  be  trifling.  On  the  other  hand,  the 
differences  in  measurements  persist,  and  these  differences  are  so 
great  that  they  can  not  be  accounted  for  by  the  small  differences  in 


rapidity  of  physiological  development.  These  facts,  therefore,  seem 
to  support  our  conclusion  that  the  difference  between  the  two  types 
is  not  due  to  the  rapidity  of  development,  but  to  other  causes.  The 


actual  decrease  in  the  transversal  diameters  of  the  head  and  in  those

GROWTH   OF  THE   HEAD. 

The  discussions  contained  on  page  104  et  seq.  are  based  on  a  detailed 
study  of  the  growth  of  head  measurements.  The  results  of  this 
investigation  are  given  in  the  following  pages. 

AVERAGE  RATE  OF  CHANGE  OF  CEPHALIC  INDEX.  —  The  change  of 
the  cephalic  index  is  so  slight  that  up  to  the  present  time  there  has 
been  no  accord  among  investigators  in  regard  to  the  question  whether 
there  is  a  change  (decrease  or  increase)  and  whether  the  same  changes 
take  place  in  all  different  types  of  man. 

For  the  purpose  of  a  discussion  of  our  material,  we  will  assume  that 
the  change  in  the  cephalic  index  proceeds  at  the  same  rate  until  the 
adult  stage  is  reached,  and  we  will  first  consider  only  the  material 
collected  for  the  present  investigation. 

It  will  be  shown  later  on  that  the  measurements  of  foreign-born 
and  American-born  individuals  show  certain  typical  differences.  In 
the  following  table  these  measurements  have  been  combined,  the 
American  born  being  reduced  to  the  foreign-born  type  by  adding  the 
typical  difference  between  the  two  groups  (see  p.  70).  Table  50,  on 
the  following  page,  shows  the  observations  on  cephalic  index  of  males 
and  females  : 

If  the  value  of  the  average  for  any  particular  year  is  called  ctj  we 
may  say 


where  t  is  assumed  to  be  measured  from  the  average  age  of  the  series 
and  where  a  and  &  are  certain  constants. 

It  follows  —  if  we  indicate  averages  by  brackets  —  that 


The  constants  a  and  b  have  been  determined  in  this  manner.

Changes  in  Bodily  Form  of  Descendants  of  Immigrants.     139 

When  we  assume  the  rate  of  change  in  the  cephalic  index  from  3 
years  to  20  years  in  males,  and  from  3  years  to  18  years  in  females, 
to  be  constant,  we  find  the  following  results  by  computation  from 
the  tables:

To  these  tables  may  be  added  some  others,  based  on  observations 
made  in  various  countries  (see  p.  78).  The  calculation  of  a  few 
of  these  series  according  to  the  method  outlined  before  gives  the 
following  results:

It  will  be  seen  that  the  rate  of  change  in  these  cases,  except  the 
one  for  Worcester,  is  much  lower  than  the  one  given  in  the  pre- 
ceding table.  Attention  may  be  called  to  the  fact  that  the  ages 
from  which  the  constants  have  been  derived  are  different  from  the 
ages  represented  in  the  preceding  series.  For  Strasburg  and  Holstein 
particularly  the  whole  period  of  development  from  birth  up  to  the 
adult  stage  is  included,  while  in  the  material  collected  by  the  im- 
migration commission  the  first  four  years  of  life  were  excluded. 
It  would  seem,  therefore,  that  the  change  in  the  cephalic  index 
during  the  first  few  years  of  life  must  proceed  at  a  slower  rate  than 
the  change  of  the  index  during  the  later  part  of  childhood.  In 
St.  Louis  the  bulk  of  the  series  lies  between  the  years  6  and  14, 
while  the  period  of  adolescence  is  practically  excluded.  It  may  be, 
therefore,  that  the  low  value  of  the  index  for  St.  Louis  is  a  char- 
acteristic of  that  period  of  development.  It  must  be  remarked, 
however,  that  the  results  of  the  St.  Louis  series,  considering  the 
great  number  of  cases  measured,  is  peculiarly  irregular;  so  much 
so  that  I  am  inclined  to  think  that  certain  irregularities  must  have 
crept  into  the  series  of  observations. 

DETAILED  DISCUSSION  OF  GROWTH  OF  HEAD. — It  would  be  feasible 
to  obtain  a  clearer  insight  into  the  laws  of  growth  during  different 
periods  by  calculating  the  constants  according  to  the  method  pre- 
viously outlined  for  periods  of  four  years  instead  of  covering  the 
whole  period  of  growth.

The  Immigration  Commission. 


Owing  to  lack  of  time,  I  have  preferred  to  employ  a  different 
method  for  the  purpose  of  determining  the  change  in  head-form. 
I  have  proceeded  as  follows: 

The  total  increment  for  any  given  year  up  to  the  adult  stage 
has  been  calculated  from  all  those  tables  in  which  an  adequate 
number  of  measurements  of  adults  is  available.  These  are  par- 
ticularly Bohemian  (1),  Slovak  and  Hungarian  (2),  Poles  (3),  He- 
brews I  (4),  Hebrews  II  (5),  Dresden  I  (6),  Sicilian  (17),  Neapolitan 
(18),  Scotch  (19).  The  weight  for  each  increment  was  determined 
from  the  number  of  cases  (%)  for  the  particular  year  and  for  the 
adults  (n2),  according  to  the  formula. 


After  the  characteristic  increment  for  each  year  had  been  obtained 
in  this  manner  these  increments  were  applied  to  all  the  remaining 
series  for  which  no  adult  measurements  were  available,  and  the 
adult  measurements  were  reconstructed  for  these  series  by  adding 
to  each  year  the  characteristic  amount  of  growth  and  taking  the 
average  of  all  the  values  thus  obtained  according  to  the  weights 
for  each  year:  for  instance,  for  Dresden  I  (6)  the  Following  calcula- 
tion for  length  of  head  might  be  made: 

TABLE  53.  —  Length  of  head  of  adult  males,  Dresden  I,  calculated  from  measurements  of

I  have  selected  this  table  because  it  shows  clearly  that  the  results 
obtained  from  the  whole  series  are  not  strictly  applicable  in  the 
present  case.  The  length  of  head  of  the  adult  obtained  from  the 
measurements  of  children  from  10  years  up  shows  a  constant  and 
regular  increase,  proving  in  this  manner  that  the  rate  of  growth  from 
10  years  up  for  the  series  Dresden  I  is  greater  than  that  of  the 
typical  series  here  obtained.  In  this  manner  it  is  possible  to  control 
the  results  of  the  various  series  and  to  determine  whether  character- 
istic differences  exist  between  each  particular  series  and  the  general 
series  that  has  been  obtained.  I  will  now  proceed  to  discuss  the 
various  head-measurements  according  to  this  method.  i 

Length  of  head. — Following  is  the  combined  table  for  the  increase 
of  the  length  of  the  head  from  each  year  up  to  the  adult  stage,  and 
based  on  the  same  material  as  was  utilized  for  the  discussion  of  the 
cephalic  index  (pp.  145-147).

It  appears  clearly  that  the  growth  of  the  length  of  the  head  shows 
the  same  characteristics  that  have  been  observed  in  the  rate  of  growth 
of  stature  and  weight.  During  the  first  few  years  of  life  there  is  a 
decided  decrease  in  the  rate  of  growth,  which  lasts  until  the  eleventh 
year.  From  this  time  on  there  is  a  very  decided  increase  in  the  rate 
of  growth,  which  reaches  its  maximum  at  the  sixteenth  year;  and 
from  this  time  on  the  decrease  in  the  rate  of  growth  is  very  rapid  until 
the  adult  stage  is  reached. 

The  general  curve  does  not  fit  all  the  series,  and  there  is  good  evi- 
dence that  the  rate  of  growth  is  not  the  same  in  all  the  groups. 
Among  Dresden  I  boys  (6)  the  acceleration  begins  about  a  year  and  a 
half  earlier  than  among  the  whole  series  and  has  the  effect  that  the 
total  amount  of  growth  is  greater  than  in  the  general  series.  The 
boys  represented  by  this  series  are  gymnasium  pupils,  and  represent, 
therefore,  a  selected  class.  It  will  be  remembered  that  all  investiga- 
tions have  shown  that  classes  which  are  socially  in  more  favorable 
position  develop  more  quickly  than  others,  and  also  that  the  total 
amount  of  growth  attained  by  them  is  greater  than  that  attained  by 
classes  which  are  retarded  owing  to  unfavorable  conditions.  The 
growth  of  the  head  of  Dresden  boys  is  therefore  quite  in  accord  with 
the  observations  made  on  the  whole  bulk  of  the  body. 

Among  the  Hebrew  boys  (5)  the  amount  of  growth  in  length  of 
head  that  remains  to  be  done  after  the  age  of  9  years  is  about  1  mm. 
less  than  among  the  grand  average.  It  is  doubtful  whether  this 
phenomenon  is  accompanied  by  a  greater  growth  during  the  pre-

ceding  period,  although  it  suggests  a  longer  continuance  of  the  more 
rapid  growth  of  early  childhood. 

Among  the  Bohemians  a  considerable  amount  of  growth  occurs 
after  the  fifteenth  year.  The  whole  series  is  rather  irregular,  which 
is  accounted  for  by  the  small  number  of  cases;  but  up  to  the  six- 
teenth year  the  average  difference  between  the  total  series  and  the 
combined  Bohemians,  Slovaks,  Hungarians,  and  Poles  is  1.4  mm., 
the  amount  of  growth  to  be  accomplished  by  the  Bohemian  series 
being  more  than  that  of  the  general  series.  The  material  is  not 
sufficient  to  show  whether  the  period  of  acceleration  is  earlier  in  this 
case  or  whether  we  are  simply  dealing  with  a  longer  continuation  of 
growth  from  18  years  on. 

The  Sicilians  exhibit  quite  different  conditions  of  growth.  The 
series  of  observations  demonstrates  very  clearly  that  the  total  amount 
of  growth  from  5  years  on  up  to  the  adult  stage  is  less  from  year  to 
year  than  in  the  whole  series.  There  is  no  earlier  appearance  of  the 
period  of  acceleration  than  in  the  rest  of  the  series;  in  other  words, 
the  total  amount  of  growth  for  every  year  is  less  than  among  the  rest 
of  the  observed  series.  The  conditions  among  the  Neapolitans  are 
somewhat  similar  to  these,  but  not  quite  so  marked. 

If  we  assume  the  general  series  to  represent  the  type  of  development 
for  Europeans,  and  if  we  assume  the  differences  between  any  par- 
ticular series  and  this  general  series  to  be  an  indication  of  the  peculiar 
character  of  development  of  each  group,  the  following  separate  groups 
may  be  isolated :

Similar  results  are  obtained  from  the  analogous  tabulation  of  the 
measurements  of  length  of  head  of  females.  These  are  summarized 
in  the  following  table  (see  also  p.  78) :

Here  also  we  may  notice  a  very  rapid  increase  in  the  rate  of  growth, 
which  culminates  between  12  and  13  years,  while  among  males  the 
culmination  is  near  the  fifteenth  year.  After  this  the  rate  of  growth 
decreases  very  rapidly. 

Width  of  head. — The  tabulations  for  the  growth  of  width  of  head 
of  males  and  females  have  been  made  in  exactly  the  same  manner 
as  those  just  described.  The  summary  of  these  tables  is  given  in 
table  57  (see  also  p.  78) : 

The  amounts  of  growth  for  width  of  head,  although  slightly  irreg- 
ular, show  also  that  a  minimum  in  the  rate  of  growth  prevails  during 
the  pre-adolescent  period,  and  that  during  the  period  of  adolescence 
the  rate  shows  the  same  kind  of  a  maximum  which  has  been  observed 
in  the  measurements  of  stature,  weight,  and  length  of  head. 

Cephalic  index. — The  tabulation  of  the  cephalic  index,  based  on 
the  same  material  which  we  utilized  for  discussing  the  develop- 
ment of  the  length  of  head  and  width  of  head,  is  contained  in  Table 
58  (see  also  p.  78).  It  will  be  noticed  that  the  cephalic  index  from 
the  fourth  year  to  the  tenth  year  is  practically  constant;  that  during 
the  period  of  adolescence  a  sudden  decrease  in  the  cephalic  index 
occurs,  which  is  presumably  coincident  with  the  development  of  the 
frontal  sinuses,  and  the  dependence  of  which  upon  the  change  in 
length  of  head  and  width  of  head  may  be  seen  by  a  comparison  with 
the  two  preceding  tables.  With  the  twentieth  year  the  cephalic  index 
has  practically  reached  its  final  value.

CHAPTER  VII. 
HEREDITY. 

For  the  purposes  of  our  investigation  it  is  necessary  to  have  a 
clearer  insight  into  the  problems  of  heredity  in  man  than  we  possess 
up  to  the  present  time.  In  order  to  understand  the  development  of 
the  descendants  of  immigrants,  who  have  been  drawn  from  the  most 
diverse  parts  of  Europe,  and  who,  in  course  of  time,  are  bound  to 
intermingle,  it  is  necessary,  first  of  all,  to  know  whether  the  effect  of 
mixture  in  man  is  the  production  of  a  middle  type  representing  a 
type  intermediate  between  the  two  parents,  or  whether  there  is  a 
tendency  in  the  offspring  to  revert  either  to  the  father's  type  or  to  the 
mother's  type,  and  whether,  therefore,  the  result  of  mixture  of  types 
will  be  an  increased  variability  of  all  the  individuals  composing  the 
nation. 

A  number  of  attempts  have  been  made  to  solve  this  question,  but 
adequate  material  has  never  been  obtained.  The  measurements  of 
families  which  have  been  conducted  in  our  work  for  the  commission 
have  made  it  possible  to  attack  this  important  question  with  con- 
siderable prospect  of  success.  I  developed  the  method  of  approach 
at  a  previous  time.a  The  principle  of  our  method  is  the  following: 
If  the  descendants  of  a  couple  revert  to  a  middle  type  and  do  not  tend 
to  revert  to  the  individual  types  of  the  parents,  then  the  variability 
of  the  children  must  remain  the  same,  no  matter  how  different  the 
parents.  If,  on  the  other  hand,  there  is  a  tendency  in  the  children  to 
revert  to  the  type  of  either  father  or  mother,  then  the  variability  of 
children  of  the  same  family  will  increase  with  increasing  difference  of 
the  parents.  I  have  also  shown  that  the  average  variability  of  a 
family  of  n  children  will  be 


where  Sn  indicates  the  mean  square  variability  of  the  children  of  one 
family;  ff,  the  variability  of  the  individuals  constituting  the  whole 
series  ;  rc  the  coefficient  of  correlation  of  children  of  the  same  family. 
I  have  tabulated  all  our  material  giving  measurements  of  par- 
ents and  children,  where  the  measurements  of  both  parents  were 
known,  in  Table  65.  Since,  according  to  the  formula  just  given, 
the  variabilities  depend  upon  the  number  of  children,  they  have  all 

77 

been  reduced  to  the  same  standard  by  multiplication  with    n_l 

The  variabilities  of  the  children  are  given  for  various  groups  of  parents 
arranged  according  to  the  difference  between  the  cephalic  indices  of 

a  Franz  Boas  Heredity  in  Anthropometric  Traits  (American  Anthropologist,  N.S., 
vol.9.     [1907],  pp.  453-469).

father  and  mother.  Before  making  the  calculation,  all  the  indices 
of  children  and  of  females  were  reduced  to  the  indices  of  adult  males, 
in  accordance  with  the  method  explained  on  page  139.  The  last  column 
of  the  table  gives  the  average  variability  of  children,  obtained  for  each 
group  of  parents.

Although  the  distribution  of  variabilities  is  not  quite  regular,  a  very 
rapid  increase  of  variability  of  children  may  be  observed  for  the 
higher  values  of  differences  between  parents.  Very  little  change  seems 
to  occur  up  to  a  difference  of  six  units  between  father  and  mother; 
but  from  this  point  on,  the  values  rise  quite  rapidly.  Unfortunately, 
it  is  difficult  to  obtain  much  material  for  the  higher  values  of  differences 
between  parents,  because,  according  to  the  laws  of  probability,  small 
differences  between  the  parents  are  the  norm. 

From   the   whole   table   the   average   variability   of   children 
obtained— 

a  =  7.23; 

the  average  difference  between  parents— 

#  =  3,64. 

and  the  variability  of  children  approximately 

v  =  6.43  +  0. 


where  d  represents  the  difference  between  the  parents. 

Another  possible  explanation  of  the  change  in  type  of  the  descend- 
ants of  immigrants  should  be  considered.  Such  a  difference  between 
the  type  of  American-born  descendants  of  immigrants  and  the  foreign-

born  would  develop  in  case  there  should  be  any  mixture  with  Ameri- 
cans which  is  not  revealed  in  the  marriage  relations.  If  this  should 
actually  be  the  case,  a  considerable  number  of  instances  must  occur 
in  which  the  alleged  father  of  the  child  is  not  the  real  father.  Accord- 
ing to  the  laws  of  heredity,  an  occurrence  of  this  kind  would  be 
expressed  by  a  low  coefficient  of  correlation  between  fathers  and 
children;  and  the  calculation  of  some  material  of  this  kind  which  I 
collected  years  ago  on  the  North  American  Indians  has  shown  that 
illegitimacy  of  descent  can  easily  be  detected  by  biometrical  methods.0 

The  sociological  conditions  of  the  immigrants  in  New  York  do  not 
make  it  in  the  least  probable  that  such  conditions  prevail  here.  Never- 
theless it  seemed  necessary  to  make  the  test.  For  this  purpose  I 
have  collected  the  correlation  in  head-form  and  color  of  hair  among 
the  Hebrews  for  the  groups  of  foreign-born  and  American-born 
fathers  and  sons,  fathers  and  daughters,  mothers  and  sons,  mothers 
and  daughters. 

The  calculation  is  not  quite  simple,  on  account  of  the  phenomena 
of  growth,  and  the  following  method  was  adopted.  If  the  measure- 
ment of  a  parent  is  called  X,  that  of  a  child  of  a  certain  age  Y,  and 
the  difference  between  the  type  of  the  parent  and  the  type  of  the  child 
of  a  certain  age  d, 


The  weight  to  be  given  to  [(x  —  y)2]  must  be  n—  1,  because  the  num- 
ber of  cases  in  each  group  is  very  small.  By  calculating  this  value 
for  each  year,  a  general  average  may  be  obtained,  which  has  been 
used  as  a  basis  for  the  calculation  of  the  coefficient  of  correlation. 
Our  tables  show  that  in  all  the  head-measurements  the  variabilities 
may  be  considered  as  constant  for  the  whole  series  from  5  years  up 
to  the  adult  stage,  the  variations  being  very  small  and  irregular.  If 
we  call  these  variabilities  for  parent  and  child  ax  and  ay,  we  may 
therefore  say 


and  [xy]  =  i  fe2  +  <jya)  -  \[(x  -  y)2]. 

From  this  value  of  xy  the  coefficient  of  correlation,  r,  can  easily  be 
obtained: 


In  the  table  these  values  are  given  for  the  length  of  head,  width 
of  head,  and  color  of  hair  for  the  Hebrews  (Tables  67-69).  The 
summary  of  these  tables  (Table  66)  shows  that  while  the  coefficient 
of  correlation  shows  remarkably  large  variations  considering  the 
number  of  available  cases,  there  is  no  regularity,  indicating  that 
there  is  a  loss  of  correlation  for  the  American-born  children  when 
compared  with  their  fathers,  and  the  assumption  that  foreign  inter- 
mixture 4s  the  cause  of  change  of  type  may  be  finally  dismissed.

I  have  calculated  only  the  correlation  between  parents  and  chil- 
dren for  length  of  head,  width  of  head,  and  color  of  hair.  Taking 
the  total  material  together,  we  obtain  the  following  correlations 
between  parents  and  children: 

Length  of  head 0.  383  (2,327  cases) 

Width  of  head 0.  342  (2,327  cases) 

For  fathers  and  children  the  color  of  hair  gives  the  coefficient  of 
correlation : 

Color  of  hair 0.  36  (696  cases) 

For  women  the  correlation  of  color  of  hair  between  mothers  and 
children  gives  the  abnormally  low  value  of  0.22,  obtained  from  1,100 
cases,  and  for  mothers  and  their  daughters  this  value  sinks  even  to 
0.13,  obtained  from  616  cases.  I  think  that  there  is  no  doubt  that 
this  low  value  is  due  to  the  fact  that  many  of  the  Hebrew  women 
wear  wigs,  and  that  for  this  reason  the  color  of  hair  is  not  the  natu- 
ral one.  The  three  values  given  above,  taken  together,  suggest  that 
the  correct  value  for  the  coefficient  of  correlation  between  parents 
and  children  among  the  Hebrew  is  0.36. 

The  summary  of  the  correlations  between  fathers  and  mothers 
and  their  sons  and  daughters  is  as  follows :

These  columns  indicate,  perhaps,  that  the  similarity  between 
parents  and  children  of  the  same  sex  is  a  little  greater  than  the  simi- 
larity between  parents  and  children  of  the  opposite  sex;  but  this 
result  seems  hardly  sufficiently  certain  to  be  accepted  as  final. 

The  detailed  tables  (Tables  67-69)  may  be  summarized  as  follows: 
The  comparison  between  the  correlations  between  fathers  and  foreign- 
born  children  and  fathers  and  American-born  children  shows  no  loss 
in  the  correlation  among  the  American-born.  It  is,  however,  some- 
what striking  that  the  correlation  between  parents  and  American- 
born  children  is  very  much  more  variable  than  the  correlation  between 
parents  and  foreign-born  children,  and  it  does  not  seem  impossible 
that  we  may  recognize  in  this  variability  the  effect  of  a  disturbing  factor.

CHAPTER  VIII. 


STATURE  OF  CHILDREN   IN  FAMILIES  OF  DIFFERENT   SIZES. 

On  account  of  the  marked  reduction  in  size  of  families  among 
Americans  and  the  descendants  of  Americans,  it  seemed  important 
to  investigate  the  relation  between  physical  development  and  the  size 
of  family.  The  material  for  this  investigation  is  contained  in  statis- 
tics collected  by  me  in  1892  in  Toronto,  Ontario,  and  in  Oakland,  Cal. 
In  Tables  XXXIV  and  XXXVI  of  the  Appendix  (pp.  546,  547,  572, 
573)  the  distribution  and  average  of  statures  of  the  Toronto  and  Oak- 
land children  are  given  for  those  individuals  for  whom  the  number  of 
living  brothers  and  sisters  is  known. 

In  Tables  70  and  71  the  average  statures  of  children  of  families 
of  certain  sizes  are  compared  with  the  average  statures  of  all  the 
children  of  the  same  age.  The  material  on  which  these  tables  are 
based  is  contained  in  Tables  XXXIII  (pp.  526-545)  and  XXXV  (pp. 
548-571)  of  the  Appendix,  and  the  comparison  has  been  made  in  the 
following  manner.  The  average  stature  of  children  belonging  to  fami- 
lies of  one,  two,  three,  etc.,  living  children  have  been  obtained  and 
subtracted  from  the  average  stature  of  all  the  children  of  the  same  age 
according  to  the  data  contained  in  Tables  XXXIV  and  XXXVI  of  the 
Appendix.  These  differences  are  not  comparable  for  children  of  dif- 
ferent ages,  because  the  variability  of  stature  shows  very  great  differ- 
ences during  the  period  of  growth.  In  order  to  make  the  values  obtained 
from  different  ages  comparable,  they  have  been  reduced  to  multiples  of 
the  standard  variability  of  each  year,  and  these  data  are  contained  in 
our  present  tables.  The  tables  may  be  summarized  by  averaging  the 
differences  for  all  the  years  and  for  each  size  of  family.  This  summary 
is  contained  in  Table  72  (fig.  42,  p.  80).

The  average  number  of  children  in  Toronto  and  in  Oakland  is  not 
quite  the  same,  but  the  correction  for  the  average  stature  of  the 
family  due  to  this  cause  is  very  slight  only,  and  it  seems  justifiable 
to  combine  the  two  tables  into  one.  It  wifl  be  seen  from  these  data, 
which  are  contained  in  the  preceding  table,  that  the  stature  of 
children  in  families  having  one  child  only  is  considerably  above  the 
average,  and  that  with  increasing  number  of  children  the  average 
stature  first  decreases  quite  rapidly;  in  large  families,  however,  quite 
slowly. 

An  attempt  to  correlate  stature  in  the  same  way  with  the  number 
of  deceased  children  in  a  family  shows  a  much  slighter  correlation. 
The  average  stature  decreases  slightly  with  the  number  of  deceased 
children,  but  the  calculation  has  not  been  carried  through  in  detail.

I  pointed  out  at  a  previous  time  a  that  first-born  children  are  taller 
than  later-born  children,  and  that  among  the  Toronto  children  the 
difference  in  favor  of  the  first-born  is  0.36  cm.  From  the  data 
obtained  by  the  classification  of  families  according  to  size,  it  would 
seem  that  the  excess  in  stature  of  the  first-born  children  is  essentially 
due  to  the  fact  that  they  contain  a  great  many  children  belonging  to 
smalHamilies,  while  later-born  children  belong  on  the  whole  to  larger 
families.  The  difference  in  the  case  of  children  classified  according 
to  size  of  family  is  ever  so  much  greater  than  the  difference  according 
to  order  of  birth. 

I  have  also  attempted  to  classify  the  families  according  to  occupa- 
tion of  parents,  in  order  to  discover  whether  any  material  difference 
in  the  size  of  family  exists  between  the  different  occupations.  This 
classification  has,  however,  not  led  to  any  result  showing  differences, 
so  that  we  may  conclude  that  without  regard  to  social  position  the 
same  relation  exists,  and  that  on  the  whole  children  in  small  families 
are  physically  better  developed  than  children  in  large  families.

1896-97  [Washington  1898],  p,  1596).
