the center was twenty-three miles

thirty-ninth parallel of latitude, and
its total variation in latitude has been
less than one-third Of the degree.
The westward movement has averag-
ed less than a degree in a decade,
Notwithstanding the incredibly swift
occupation OF vacant continent by
a movement of population westward.
The easterly position OF the center OF
population Is In part due to the fact
that the eastern part Of the continent
was first settled and was settled from
the east. The easterly position OF
the center OF population Is also due
to the more evenly distributed and
more abundant resources OF the cas-
tern half OF the UNITED States.
It should not be forgotten that the
geographical center OF the United
States was some hundreds OF miles
west of the Mississippi river. The
eastern half of the country, therefore,
embraces the Atlantic lowlands, the
mairies and the Great Lakes plains,
the Gulf lowlands and the forests and
minerals OF the Appalachian plateaus.
Over against these are the arid and
mountainous areas of the West.

that, whereas the towns, villages and

produce more than about twice as

draws the pitiless inference that since
the cities beat the nonurban districts
