larger than the present population OF
the State OF Texas. The growth OF

Census Director Durand says:

trsI section Of the country. namely.
Iowa, Missouri. Kentucky. Indiana
and Tennessee; the three Northern
New Tngland States and Maryland
and Delaware.
"The States showing the next high
er increase between 1c and 20 Pc
cent lie adjacent to those showing
he lowest rate and include. in the
lgddle West. Ohio. Michigan. Wis
consia. Illinois, Minnesota. Nebraska
and Kansas. and on the other hand
2 great belt Of Southern States.
namely. Virginia. North Carolina.

from 20 to 80 per cent are. scs the
most. the great manufacturing ;
Estates, including Massachusetts.

cent, and Oklahoma. Idaho and
Washington more than 100 per cent.
THE greatest chase IN rate ol
growth IS found in the three Pacific
coast States. and Nevada and New
Mexico. all Of which grew far faster
turing the asst ten years than during
the preceding period.
THE population OF the Middle At
liantlc States is 1s.3l5.ss2 and the
South Atlantic States 12.194.S9S.
The percentage OF Increases Of the
i:::outh Atlantic States IS 1854.
THE fact that the rate OF in
ereases for the country as whole
vas greater from 1900 to 1910 than
during the preceding decade was due
entirely to the added rate Of growth
IN the Middle Atlantic. Mountain and
Pacific divisions. In all six Of the
other division: the increase during
the last decade waS less than during
the previous one"
