Michand finds a steady fall in the
birth rate Of men of talent from New
England westward. In New England,
out of every 100000 births 81 are those
of men of talent; in New York that
number falls to "a, in Ohio to 10, in
Indiana TO IL, In Illinois to 10, in Mis-
souri, to 6. In Kansas to 2, In Colorado
to l.. This was learned by comparing
the states by the number of persons
whose names appear in n directory of
those prominent in public life. the arts
and sciences, and literary pursuits, with
the total number of persons born. The
objection, of cours to these statistics
is that a great many of these men
as, for instance, in New York City
are not natives, after they have
become famous and prosperous have
broadened their field of work by mov-
ing to a larger center of activity, where
opportunities are greater.

Mr.. Garfield ''supposes that the govern
