World survey by the Interchurch World Movement of North America : revised preliminary statement and budget .. . haracter and extent; an analysis of the forces atwork within the field; and a statement regarding a program adequate andsufficient for the needs. One problem of the new American is distribution. He has crowded into the he forms his Little Italy, his Ghetto, his Bohemian Hills—usuallyretaining his native social ideas and customs. In a city like New York the problem stands out in the large. In that city the increasein population of Russians, Italians and Austro-Hungarians, for the period of tenyears ending in 1910, was greater in each case than in the native population. Suchan unbalanced growth is inevitably reflected in the decreased percentage of Protestantchurch members, now reduced to nearly 7 per cent. It is reflected in New Yorkspolitical life. Indeed, it intensifies the citys problem in every direction and givesrise to many new phases of city life and work.
