or especial interest from a sociological
point of view are those statistics IN the
book which deal with family life. In 1iaV
families composed OF more than three per-
sons represented but one-fourth onf the
entire number of families, while in 1900
families of similar size made up nearly
forty per cent. of all families. Families
composed of six or more persons repre-
sented in 1890 more than one-half. but IN
1900 scarcely more than one-fourth of the
families enumerated.
on the basis of the proportion shown in
1890 there would have been in continental
United states in 1900 59.5OoOO0 children,
whereas there were less than 24,o00OOO. The
ratio in 1890 Of two children under sixteen
years of age to each white female sixteen
years of age and more declined to one
in 1900.
OF 3.17i 900 white persons enumerated in
1890 approximately 100000 survived thirty
years, later, 1880 in 1880, while in 1850
there were twenty-three persons who re-
ported their ages as 10 years and more,

that there were still living persons enum-
