years OF age. a slight difference ap-
pears between cities having at least
q. 1000 inhabitants and the rest of the
country. In such cities there are sos
males TO each 1000 children; outside
Of them there are SOC males 10 each
1000 children. The figures support
but do not prove the theory that the
proportion of male children at birth is
slightly less in cities than in country
districts
Women Live Longer Than Men.
Notwithstanding the great excess of
males in the total population of the
United States. there are two periods
of life at which the reported number
of females is greater. One. extending
from about So years of age TO the end
longer average life of woman; the
other from 16 to %, is prob
ably apparent rather than real,
and due mainly to the greater num-
Der who claim. enormously. To belong
TO this age period
Among the negroes there are a few
more females than males: among tho
Indians. a few more males than fe-
males The marked excess of males
among whiles and Mongolians is
doubtless due to the influence OF i'm
migration
Among the Chinese said TO have
been born in the United States. near
~ three-fourths are male, an incred-
ible proportion which is probably
due to the false return of several thou
sand immigrant Chinese as native in
the effort to elude the provisions OF
the exclusion laws.
At each of the last 6 censuses there
has been an excess of males among
native white population ranging. at
each census except that Of 1870. from
onequarter to three-quarters of a mil
lion These figures are probably swof
len by an indeterminate amount as a
result by the return of a certain num-
her OF foreign born as native. In 1900
among the 13.S67.14T persons attend
ing school. 4S9 in each 1000 were
male and sol female: in 1890. in the
same class. Sl0 per LOCO were male
and $50 female
Among the whites attending school
there Is still n slight excess Of males;
among the Indians and Mongolians. a
very marked excess OF males. The
slight excess of females in the total
population reported in 1900 as attend
ing school Is due to a very decided
excess of females among the negro
school attendants.
In~reasias Proportion of Giris-
In all races and in all parts of the
country there has been a decided in
crease since 1890 in the proportion OF
females among persons attending
school This increase is due mainly
to the increase in the proportion Of

ly five times as great as at any other
and more than three times as great
as the average increase for all ages.
In 1890. among each 1000 persons
at least Is years of age attending
school. 52S were male; in 1900 only
400 were male.
No important change took place in
the large cities. The change for the
whole country was due to a rapid de-
crease outside of the cities IN the pro-
portion of young men among the per-
sons at least 10 years of age attend
ing school, the figures for the country
districts approaching rapidly the pro-
portion found in cities in 1900 and
1890.
When the school attendants of a
specified class are compared with the
total population of the same age and
class, a noticeable contrast between
the negro and the foreign born white
population appears. the per cent of
female negroes attending school at
each age being larger than that of
male negroes, and the per cent of fe-
male foreign born whites attending

Of male foreign born whites.
Even for the age period 10 to IA
there has been. during the last decade,
slight decrease in the proportion OF
males attending school to male popu-
lation, somewhat more than counter
balanced by an increase in the proper
ton of females attending school to fe-
male population.
Death Rate Higher for Males.
The death rate of males in the reg
istration area of the United States in
1900 was 1910 per 1000, and that of
females 1916 per 1000, the former hav-
ing a death rate higher by about one
seventh than the latter. In the SAG
registration cities the death rate of
males was 200 and that of females
17.2 per 1000. the male rate exceed
ing the female by one-sixth. In the
rest Of the registration area the male
death rate was ISIS and that of fe-
males $50 per 1000. the male rate
exceeding the female by one-nine-
teenth. The difference in the death
rate of the sexes is apparently least
between the ages of 5 To II and great
est at the youngest and Oldest ages.
Life tables for Massachusetts,. Eng
land. Prussia. and Norway confirm
these conclusions and make them pre-
else. They indicate that male chill
dren under years OF age have uni
formly a higher death rate than fe-
male children.
There is a period between 3 and
p years Of age in which the death
rate of females is slightly higher than
that OF males. According to the Mas
sachusetts life table this period COW
ers II years. TO 81; according TO the
life table. IL years. to 10;
to the Prussian life table,
nine years. s to 16. and according to
the English life table. eight years
II to 81.
According to all the life tables the
death rate of women between 20 and
30 years of age. at which ages prob
ably four-fifths of the childbirths oc-
eur. was less than that of males
