Data relative to citizenship were tabulated for all foreign-born males who had been in the United States five years or over and who were 21 years of age or over at the time of arrival.

DIGEST OF THE REPORT ON HONOLULU, HAWAII.

The report for Honolulu, Hawaii, covers the work of the Associated Charities from December 1, 1908, to May 31, 1909. In order to satisfactorily present the data, it was necessary to modify the form of tabulation used for the cities of continental United States. It was impossible, therefore, to combine the data for Honolulu with those for the other cities included in the Commission's report on immigrants as charity seekers.

During the period of the investigation 117 cases were assisted, involving 429 persons. The cases are divided as to nativity, as follows:

The cases in which the head was foreign-born comprise the larger proportion of those assisted, numbering 81 cases, or 69.2 per cent of the total number, and involving 330 persons, or 76.9 per cent of the total number of persons.

The races represented by more than 10 cases are the following:

As will be seen from the preceding table, the foreign-born Portuguese are represented by the largest number of cases, involving over one-half of the total number of persons. The other races represented by 10 or more cases are the white born in continental United States of native father, the foreign-born Porto Rican, and the native Hawaiian, born of Hawaiian father.

DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES.

For each of the 43 cities included in the study of immigrants as charity seekers, 19 general tables are shown in the complete report. These tables have also been summarized for the total number of cities included and for each of four geographical sections of the United States: North Atlantic, North Central, Southern, Western.
