Among the Negroes.

The proportion OF negro children to negro
women fifteen to forty-nine years Of age
was largest in 1880 and smallest In 1900.
There has been uniformly larger proper
ton Of negro children than of white chill
dren. That difference more than doubled
between 1860 and 1880, but in 1900 it was
less than half what 1t was in 1890 and less
than at any other census except 1860.
Though the negroes have larger proper
ton Of children than the whites, 1t has
been noticed that the whites of the south
have a larger proportion than the whites
in other sections of the country.
