is another question, which if it were
1! Modred out as an iadependeot. piece
of research work would involve the in-
''mitigator in a labyrinth of difficul-
ties.
. Thanks, however, to the tireless
labors of Dr. Henry J. Morgan of
Ottawa. it is possible to arrive at s
fairly accurate estimate of the rela-
tive situation In Canada. Dr. Moreau
has just completed the compilation
of a new edition of "Canadian Men
and Women of the Time," in which
he has gathered together information
l about some 6,900 persons who may be
regarded as the leading people of the
Dominion in all walks of life. From
this mass of biographical data it is no
very arduous teak to work eut some
interesting percentages, which will
throw light on the proportionate
standing of city and oountry in tee
production of Canada's foremost cite
sena. earl W. A. Craick in a clever
analysis which appeared recently in
The Toronto Globe.
Combining the figures for the nine
Carnelian Provinces, the standing is
this
Per
City -born ... 1 968
Town and country -born 3,272
Cent,
37.8
62.2
The remainder of the 6,900 people
listed in the volume are made rip of
those who were born in the British
Idles, Newfoundland, the United
States, Europe, etc. It may be inter-
esting to note that 667 came from
England, 331 from Scotland, 184 from
Ireland• 210 from the United States,
and 35 from France. Almost every
country in Europe, besides Australia,
India, South Africa, South America,
the East and West Indies, and New
Zealand, is represented in the list.
The distribution of the 6,900 lead-
ing Canadians is likewise a matter of
interest Possibly the moat significant
feature in tracing out where all the
Jpeople have migrated and where they
now dwell is the way in which so
many have drifted to the western pro-
vinces It has already been noted that
only a paltry 44 are native-born west=
ernera. Today 768 leading Canadians
reside west of the great lakes. The
erect of this movement is most no-
ticeable in Ontario and the Maritime
Provinoee. The list allows 2.800 horn
in Ontario; 1,016 born in the Maritime
Provinces, but only 606 resident there.
The exodus to the Ugited States is
also atgnifieant. The number of peo-
ple of tote living in Canada who were
born in the United States is 210 where-
asthe number of Curadian-born n
abilities who have taken up their,r
den a south of the line is 907.
it may be asked stow: Who ar 6,900 feeding Canadians, an
what do they do!- The largest ind
vidiral class in Dr. Morgan's list em
braces clergymen and ministers of the
goapel, who total 1,137. Next to them
in importance are the men of buil
nese, a comprehensive class, including
a great many commercial and finan
Bial callings; these number 1,106. Of
lawyers there are 901; d educationists,
7M; doctors come to 660, and civil
servants of one sort or another to 446;
there are 377 journalists, and no less
than 290 people who call themselves
authors; civil and mining engineers
are 444 in number, and railroad men
2M; of judges in the list there are to
be found 236. Besides these. there are
104 musicians, 133 hankers, 46 archi-
tects, 41 actors, Ili artists and 19
dentists, while it is significant that
only M farmers have been able to
break into this gaiter of fame.
