Not so serious, indeed. but that anyone
holding this table in his hand and
watching the children pour out of any
one of number of school houses in any
city in the land is able to subdue his
apprehension that the race, from lack
of recruiting agencies, is likely to run
out. According to this table, New Eng
land does not show either the largest
decrease in ten years nor the smallest
average size of families In point Of
fact, this decrease in New England is
but two-thirds of 1 per cent-a decrease
in quantity that if it is not made up in
quality, much educational effort has
been wasted in the past decade In
New York the decrease is ive-tenths of
1 per cent, in Pennsylvania, three -tenths.
in Ohio, six-tenths; in Indiana. seven
tenths; in Michigan five-tenths; IN
Wisconsin, three-tenths; in Iowa, six
tenths, in Missouri, seVen-tenths; in
Kansas, four-tenths.
That is to say the average size Of
families in New England is larger than
in New York, Ohio Indiana and Michi-
gan, and equal to that in iowa and
Kansas. This reckoning represents 4
labored process. but it is relatively val
ueless 1t includes all races and con-
ditions, and has no bearing upon the
