FROM TWENTY-EIGHT REPRESENTATIVE COURTS

The courts studied included two Federal and three state courts in New York City, having the great bulk of naturalization business; a number of courts in industrial districts, and some smaller ones taking in the business from outlying rural regions. Following is a list of the courts from which the information was derived:

State court,Auburn, Maine
State court,Worcester, Massachusetts
State court,Bridgeport, Connecticut
State court,Middletown, Connecticut
State court,Norwich, Connecticut
Federal courts,New York City

State court,White Plains, New York

State court,Akron, Ohio
Federal court,Cincinnati, Ohio
State court,Galesburg, Illinois
State court,Iowa City, Iowa
State court,Portland, Oregon
Federal court,Seattle, Washington
State court,Seattle, Washington

And it is apparent that the courts from which the data were derived are widely scattered through the East, Middle West, and Far West, and are of a varied character as regards nature of racial and other characteristics which might affect the human factors in the matter. It is to be regretted that there are none from the South and Southwest; but there seems no reason to suppose that they would show materially different results.
