Description

Another editorial on French-Canadian populations in the United States, their common patterns of community congregation, and what to the author seems to be a resistance to assimilation. From the text: "It is next to impossible to penetrate this mass of protected and secluded humanity with modern ideas or to induce them to interest themselves in democratic institutions and methods of government....Where they halt they stay, and where they stay they multiply and cover the earth."
