CENSUS BUREAU
REPORTS GREAT
GROWTH OF U. S.

\ Washington, Jan. 1S.-Certain
states containing third of the coun-
try's population show a 70 per cent.
greater number of births than deaths
in 1915, IN a survey completed to-day
by the census bureau. The statistics
disclose that in the territory included
in the Investigation foreign born par
ents gave birth to many more chill
dren than did the native born and
that among the negroes the death rate
is higher, and the birth rate lower
than among the whites.
The areas covered in the survey in
c1ude New England, New York, Penn
sylvania, Michigan, Minnesota and
the District of Columbia. The figures
are the first federal birth statistics
ever published.
In the states given, the birth rate
was 24.9, a thousand and the death
rate IA thousand.
Without considering migration, the
country's population was increasing
at this rate 1.16 per cent. annually
The lowest birth rate was 21.6 in
Maine and the highest 26.7 in Con-
necticut and Massachusetts,. The
death rate ranges from 1916 in Min
nesota to 1871 in New Hampshire.
An astonishing preponderance of
births is revealed among the foreign
born population. In Connecticut,
where in 1910 approximately 80 per
cent. of the population was foreign

principal conditions Of an indepen-

toward the realization Of the from

parents comprised SO per cent. Of the
total. The excess of the birth rate
among the foreign born over the ma

Minnesota to 500 per cent. in Con-

The infant mortality rate was 100

that one child out of every 10 born
