Chicago. March 2>.-America's @child crop" must be restricted if the masses of the nation are to be saved from de9radation by the "s2ecter ot over-population, according to Pro lessor Edward \, Ross. the University Of Wisconsin sociolosist
 And uD from million nurseries goes the infantile chorus" "eoo-goo, =
 in ali article on Western CiviIt- zatIon and the Birth Rate, in the American Journal of Sociology issued from the University of Chicago press, the Wisconsin educator condemns large families and advances the prin- eiples Of race suicide as d blessing instead of an evil.
 Professor Ross declares his wiling less to alTa yhimself against .smHs- ties clerics, q priori moralists. sen timentalists, aesthetics, militarfsts, capitalists and politicians wno may condemn his views and to enroll him. self with those who hate famine war. sa5er-tooth competition, class antag0- hiam, the degradation of the masses, the wasting of children, the dwarfine Of women and the cheaqaning of men,
 In the opinion of Professor Ross, the birth rate already shows that wo- men are beginning to emancipate themselves from the lot of mother and drudge and to spufn submission 10 the scurse of Eve Democracy and higher education are also named as causes for an apparent acceptance of ''rce suicide as a creed.
 He says:
 One effect of reducing the size of the average family is that diffusion of economic well-being, which regis ters itself in a rising plane of com fort, a growt hof savings, and a wider diffusion of ownership. Striking, in- deed, is the contrast in condition be- tween the prudent French peasantry and the reckless mining or factory towns of Central Europe, or the spawning rural communities in Rus sa and Roumania.
 The gain in longevity is partly due to the better support and care of the aged, who no longer need compete for attention with an over-large brood of wailing infants. Again, decline in fecundity lessens infant mortality; for often the sole effect of prolifcacy is to fill the cemtery with tiny graves.

YOUNG WOMEN ORG4NIZE.
Form Society to Raise Social Status
Of East Side JanitOr.

The Janitors' Society of New York has dlscov-
cred that IL cannot get on without feminine as
sstance. and the men have accordingly asked their
daughters organize an auxiliary society ms
was done a few weeks ago. The society which is
under the direction Of Miss Selma Swiss. IS called
the Young Womens Auxiliary to the JanttoTs So
ciety. It's main work VIII be charitable Il will
raise funds Tor SICK 5anltors and ther iallles ana
arrange outings for mothers and children. and al
though il is stiH very young il has already begun
the work OF caring for the sick 1t was TOO press
ing to
But the ultimate object Of the society is much
wider than this. 1t aims a less d thing than
people who know only West Side janitor tins
may not seem such a difficult thing do. But the
East Side janitOT and the West Side Janitor axe
entirely different persons
Everybody in an East Side tenement looks down
the JantoT," says Miss Swiss. His children
are prosecuted and ostraczed. and his wife Is
given 10 understand that she Is nobody ali.
Only the other day heard tenant say TO the
Janltress; You're nothing here. only TO clean the
dirt that make And have seen children get
into a dispute on the street and heard Que say 10
the otheT, Oh you're only the janitor's daughter
These things are matters Of everyday occurrence" "
Miss Swiss cannot anything inherent in the
5anltors position which JEsti.Ies this attitude OF
mind toward him
when you consider she says. that the land
lord trusts house worth thousands Of dollars to
the Janltor, one would think that the tenants
might have little respect Tor him"
one OF the means adopted to overcome these
social disabilities Is the admission of any young
woman who wants to join To membership in the
auxiliary Already there many members who
are not Janitors daughters, and all such Will De
welcome.
To The same end the auxiliary Will support the
efforts OF the parent society 10 get janitors
licensed Both societies think that when the jani-
tor is properly trained ana licensed he will be
Epected. They also think, apropos of the present
epidemic o1 crime, that when the jantor is paid
enough 50 thar he can stay at home and attend
his WORK instead Of leaving il be done by his
wife, there VIII he fewer attacks upon children in
tenement Railways
As the auxiliary is a very young society and had
10 begin paEing out money as soon as it was or
ganlzed. and as 5auitors' daughters do not have
heavy purses its treasury is in a chronically empty
condition, and il VIII have 10 depend to a large
extent on people who 90 not belong the families
of Janitors Tor the means OF carrying its work
