AND CO-OPERATIVE CLUHS
Thj» Ukrainians in this country
are voracioug readers. In their
homeland, Galicla, the peasants are
so poor that they cannot buy books,
papers, or magazines. Large num
bers of them are illiterate. Their
foremost desire upon reaching A
merica ha$ been to educate them-1
selves. Some idea of their zeal for |
self-improvement can be gathered
from the statistics recently obtain
ed by the Ukrainian Federation, re
garding their consumption of print
paper. Ouly eight newspapers are!
published for the 200,000 Ukrainian j
in the Unite,! States ,fmd yet they j
consume mor« print paper than all j
of the newspapers published for
their 4,000,0000 brothers living in
Galicia.
The first Ukrainian immigration
to America began about thirty
years ago. The immigrants who
came then were from the Carpa*
thian ^Mountains in western Galicia.
Their home conditions had been for
lorn. The.v were farm laborers and
owned practically 110 land them
selves. More than half of the arable
land in Galicia belongs to landlords,
many of whom are foreign noblemen
The peasants work for a pittance and'
have practically no chance of buy
ing any land for their own occupa
tion. In fact, their statug has net
been very far above serfdom.
