best results obtained by encouraging
teachers and showing personal in

MORE BOYS THAN GIRLS
Durand Also Shows Whites
Have Increased Faster Than
Other Races.

Race statistics of the last census were
discussed by r. Dana Durand, director
of the census, In an address delivered be-
fore a meeting Of the Anthropological So
ciety yesterday afternoon at the New Ma
tional Museum.
During the decade from 1900 to 1910
the white population of the United States
increased about % per cent. while the
colored increased only IL per cent. and
most of this difference was due to the i'm
migration of the former i'm the absence of
which the whites would have increased
only about II per cent" Mr.. Durand said.
THE Indian continued the speaker,
"has increased about IL per cent, the
Chinese have decreased in numbers, and
the japanese have nearly trebled.'
I'm practically every census taken the
whites have shown more rapid increase
than the colored,' said Mr.. Durand.
There has been no great migration OF
the negroes from the south. and nine
tenths of their total number are found
lin that section. The natural rate of in
crease-that is, the excess of births over
deaths among the white population of the
south-is much higher than that of the
Colored, and of the whites in the north
Among all classes of the population
the births of boys have exceeded that of
the girls, but equality appears to be
brought about by Il higher death rate
among the males.
