WASHINGTON. March 2s.-In the last
century the birth rate In the United

according to figures compiled BY W. s.

teau, and at TIE present sine It is about

stirred governmental action II l., not
improbable that the United States may
undertake an inquiry to ascertain the
causes leading UP TO the steady dwInd.
ling families.
Mr. Rosters compilation is soon to
be published by the Census Bureau. II
makes interesting comparisons between
the first census taken In the United
States In l'o0 and the one completed IN
1900, between the tw, dates the size
OF families is found to be invariably
downward, Another feature Of 'mpor-
lance. taken In conjunction with the
decreasing birth rate, is the steady ten.
dency OF population toward the cities
and away from the towns and country.
There Is q distinct connection be-
tween the reduction In families and the
Increasing movement OF population
toward the cities, In the opinion OF the
census officials. The apartment house
fat and the tenement room do not
encourage large families, The struggle
for existence In the large cities also
Is more wearing and exhaust!ng than
under conditions that obtain In small
towns or in the rural districts.
In his forthcoming report Mr.. Ross!ter
shows that, while the total population
OF the United States increased rapid,
from l7ao TO 1870. the relative population
of New York. Philadelphia, Boston and
Baltimore increased even more rapidly.
In 1893 the population Of these four cities
formed only "a per cent. OF the total,
but In 1850 they included within their
confines IS per cent. Of the population

Some Idea is given o. the startling
effect OF the falling birth rate when the
report points out that had the average
size OF American families remained the
