urban ~ Rnrnl aroHth,

Dr.. Weber, Of the Columbia Univer-
sity. and deputy commissioner Of labor
statistics Of New York state. presents
some very interesting facts regarding
the growth OF American cities with re-
ference to the rural population. In re-
gard to the migration toward the cities
DE- Webers report shows that where
there were 2iO,s7s persons living in six
cities Of the United States in 1900. there
were 1s,2s4.Ss5 persons living in AS
cities in 1880. While the population of
the entire country increased twelvefold.
the urban population Increased eighty
seven fold. The rapid urban increase,
however, did no. begin until 1920, when
the era OF canals, followed closely by
the era OF railroads, began, building up
commercial centers and stimulating In
dustry.
The Irregularity Of Increase shown by
the figures Of the commissioner points
to another interesting fact. The de-
cade ending with 1850 showed almost
= DOUBLING OF Loe uEDhu POPulHLtS'' q
record which has never since been
equalled. In fact, from 1850 to 1880, the
rush to the cities became less and less
the per cent Of Increase in the first of
these three decades being rs. in the sec
ond 50, and in the third 40. In the de-
cade between 1880 and 1890, however,
the per cent of increase rose again,
reaching 81.
In spite OF the rush toward the cities,
DR.. Weber estimates that the small
towns and rural districts contain more
than 10 per cent of the entire popula-
tiop of the country. OF the distribution
Of the city population. he says: zone
half the entire urban population OF the
