towns comparative statements of their
respectiye increases or decreases dur
ing the 191O-192O and 19OO-19l0 peri
DDS are available.
These comparisons show that the
l.314 cities and towns made an f.yer-
age gain Of 50 per cent between 1900
and 1910, but during the l9lO-l92O
period the average gain for the same
places was only 90 per cent.
The increases in rural districts In
yariabIy are smaller than in the cities.
This is shown by the fact that, while
the 1914 cities and towns gained 30
per cent from 1900 to 1910, the entire
country showed a gain OF only q per
cent.
The percentage gain Of the entire
country from 1900 to 19lO-2l per
cent-was but three-fifths Of the per-
centage gain by the cities and towns

vailed in the 1920 census-the cities
