The first table reveals a striking fact in the history of immi-
gration to the United States, the presence of a large number of
students among the Japanese immigrants. For instance, during
the first six years, students numbered as many as 1,354, followed
by 1,096 laborers and 902 artisans. Nor has legalization of emi-
gration of laborers from Japan in 1885 had any visible effect upon

Japanese immigration to America. In fact, till we come to 1896 |§

when the number of labor emigrants reached over 1,000 for the |

first time, laborers failed to contribute to Japanese immigration |}

to this country. To make this fact plain, I have given below the |j
percentage of the emigrants by occupation for the entire period jj.
