SOME interesting figures have been
compiled from the last census in regard
to the decline in the birth rate as COM
pared to deaths While the general aver
age for the country is but four in a thous-
and, there is a much greater decline than
this shown in the western and southern
states where has been the most marked
advance in culture and progressive ideas.
While the rate in the New England
states is lower than in any other group,
1t remained almost at standstill during
the decade from 1880 to 1890. The most
marked falling off is shown in Utah,
where polygamy has been abolished, the
decline beng from 41.52 to 31.2O per
thousand population. Wyoming, whore
women have more freedom and indepen-
dence than elsewhere, comes next with
decline from 2713 to BITS. This last
figure is considerably below the general
average, which ia 1868 The Kansas
rate is still slightly above the average,
being 3483 in $780, and 28.16 in 1890. All
the eastern and middle states are below
the average The decline is probably
due to q keen appreciation of RESPONSE
bilities among the prudent and to later
marriages. Married people of the pres
ent day do not desire large families. As
civilization encroaches more and more
upon the means of support, the tendency
of the birth rate to decline will become
more apparent until a point is reached
where DEATHS and births balance each
other. or nearly so. But while fewer
children are born to portion of
civilized communities, the birth rate
increases in an inverse ratio to culture
and intelligence. The millions of Asia
and Africa continue to accumulate.
