BIRTH RATE IS
ON THE DECLINE
Cornell University Statician Says atPresent Rate
Of Decrease This Country is Threatened
With Child Famine

lTHlCA, N. Y, Nov. 25.-Pointing
out that in the last fifty years there
has been a decrease In the propor.
tion of children born to every 900
women of child bearing age by i52
to 1000, or about three year. DIR
Walter Wilcox, department of Stats
tics at Cornell universiay. told n class
of students: These figures Indicate
that il changes like those in progress
In this country during the last half
century continued unchecked for a
century and a half more there will be
no children"
AS to the unsound Spencerian the.
ory that the advance of civilization
means decreased birth rate, and also
the conception of some specialists that
the spread of alcoholism and venereal
diseases in civilized countries causes
the decline, professor Wilcox said
very plainly: THE real reason for the
decline is that In modern times and
particularly In the last half century
birth rate has come under human con.
troll in sense and to a degree never
before true. The power to control the
Increase has been used and is being
used today far too exclusively with
reference to private economic advan.
tage and far too little with due con.
sideration to social welfare and prog
ross.
