American Cities Grow Fast

No country on earth exhibits such
rapid growth OF cities as is revealed for our
own by the census Of 1910 Nearly half as
per cent? OF the population Of continental
United States is now urban, that is, living
bn communities of $500 or over. Our cities
L 1T 1900 or over have grown In the decade
nearly Is per cent more rapidly than the
rest of the country. They now coptaiu
nearly ene-third of our population, and in
Ihe north more than 20 per cent. Thus the
city With its complexities has become the
most acute problem in country whose
largest community in 1870, Philadelphia
numbered but little over 5000.
The arrival and multiplication OF the
foreign born are quite enough to account
for the remarkable growth Of New York
in the last decade-ss.7, per cent-greater
than that of any city In its class save
Cleveland But What OF our other cities?
The United States now has AIS communi-
ties of 2500.inha bitants or more. Since the
last census Newark, Los Angeles. Minneap-

The Hopeful Housewife and her opulent
relative had not met for more than fifteen
