URGE Military Training.
Stress is laid generally upon the value
of military training 1t is believed that
the work undertaken by the High
school cadets has done much for the
bows. strengthening them morally as
well as physically The trip OF the
cadets to San Francisco. where they
were the bodyguard of Admiral Robley
n Evans. and the recognition accorded
them on that occasion, had spiendid
effect on the general tone of the school
and gave impetus to the organization,
which is now larger and better than at
any time in it's history. An addition To
this branch of the High school has been
the formation of a military band OF
forty pieces.
The girls of the High school have not
been Idle. They have organized an or
chestra of large numbers and are nov
practicing. They have also been taxing
more interest in athletic work, playing
basket ball and kindred games.
The last school census showed tn'
number of children Of school age 10 o.
! 20114 an increase of about 500.
Teachers Move Forward.

( little larger than il was in 1907, but !

NO CHILDREN LEFT.
In $50 Years If Present Loss in Birth
Rate Continues.

Ithaca, N. Y, Nov. 25.-'During the
period from 1860 to 1900 the proportion
OF children to 1000 women of child
bearing age decreased in the United
80 in each decade. If we assume that
the change will continue unchecked for
century and half in the direction in
winch 1t has been in progress during
the last 40 years, there will be no chill
dren left"
This startling statement came out in
the lecture on Birth and Birth Rate
delivered by Prof. Walter F. Wilcox in
the course in sanitary science in Gold
win Smith hall.
Let me not be understood as predict
ing the continuance of this movement, -
continued Prof. Wilcox, but, often the
gest method of bringing home to our
selves the vast sweep and significance
of the changes revealed by statistics is
to project them into the future, and see
whittier they lead. 1t is one of the
main duties of statistics to point out
the WhirlpoOls in the stream along
which society is moving, before the grip
of the current becomes irresistible, and
thus to arouse a desire to change the
course.
The true reason for the fall in the
birth rate is that in modern times,
mainly within the last half century,
births and the birth rate have come
under the control of human will and
choice in sense and to a degree never
before true.
Our leading American authority, DR..
John Shaw Billings. put it as follows:
The most important factor in the
past in the change is the deliberate
and voluntary avoidance or prevention
on the part of a steadily increasing
number of married people who prefer
to have but few children. Before this
change began the birth of child in
the vast majority of cases was not an
indication of deliberate preference for
that result on the part of both or either
of the parents
There is not a single one among the
experts who denies that this is the
great underlying cause of the modern
decline in the birth rate of all civilized
communities
Prof. Wilcox also gave statistics to
show that marriage is less common
among college graduates of both sexes
than it is in the average of the entire
population. The figures regarding the
birth rate among college graduates
show that the highly educated part of
the American people not only does not
increase the population at all, but on
the contrary fails to reproduce itself.
