Of 885 marriages representing ten nationality groups in rural Wright County, Minnesota, over two-thirds of the husbands and wives were of the same ethnic gropup. Endogamous rates were highest among Finns, followed by Germans, Poles, and Swedes in the order named. Intermarriage appears to be influenced by numerical importrance of the particular group in the population, residential propinquity, and religious defferences. The high rates of in-group marriages suggest the persistence of culturally deviant groups and a retardation of assimilation. The melting-pot theory of amalgamation needs revision if present data are supported by further study. Also, the existence of these cultural diversities should be cosidered in educational and other social programs designed for rural areas
