for indians and Monsalians. The ne
groes, however, constitute 50 large a pro-
| portion Of the total that we are justified
in most cases at least in accepting these
figures as representing conditions among
negroes.
The negro population, unlike the white,
does not show steady decrease in the
proportionn Of children under ten. L
1880, the proportion of children in the
total negro population was greater than
in either 1870. 1860 or 1850. Allowing
for omissions in 1870, it still seems prob
able that upon emancipation there was
an increase in the proportion Of young
children. IN the last twenty years, how
ever, the decline in the proportion Of ne.
gro children has been especially rapid.
The proportion Of children among ne
groes was greater than that among
whites at every census except that Of
1870
