THE SMALLER FAMILY

In the period between the first and

1900-the American family has shrunk

average of i6- Amid a mass OF COM

Rossiter, OF the census bureau. it is
this fact which specially challenges
the attention Of the country Ap-
preaching the same fact from various
angles, Mr.. Rosslter points out that
were it not for this discrepancy be
tween the average white American

United States would now number 90

shows that the number Of children un,
der 16 years Of age to each family In
the colonial days was Is, us com
pared with 15 in 1900: and that the
ratio of children TO women has been
cut in half. There are many stand
points from which to view this sub
ject, he admits. but from one. at
least II may be claimed that the peo-
pie OF the United States have concld-
ed that they are only about half as
