BIRTH RATE OF AMERICAN
FAMILIES IS ON DECLINE
Economic Conditions and Mar.
riages Late in Life Are
Held responsible.

| The birth rate of families of ma
tive American stock Is on the declin,
and in danger of reaching zero within
few generations, If statistics com
piled by students Of Mount HolyOkt
can be given credence. DIR. Amy
Hewes, professor of economics and so
GEOLOGY at Mount Holyoke, directed the
investigation, which was made pub
lie by the alumni committee in New
York.
The families of the undergraduates
at Mount HOlyOke were taken as a
basis of the study as representative OF
native American stock. Less than one
per cent of the students were foreign.
born, while 81 per cent were native.
born of native parents.
Data were obtained from $40 fam.
lilies of the students as to the number
of children Of their own mothers, of
their grandmothers and of their great
grandmothers on the maternal side.
The report shows that, while the av-
erage number of children ia the fam.
lilies of the great-grandmothers was
$40 and in the grandmothers' families
500, the number shrunk to 3.15 in the
mothers families.
"The average number of children in
the families Of the present generation"
the report reads, was found to
be slightly In excess Of three, which
is only little more than half Of the
average number of children in the
grandmother's generation. If similar
decrease should take place for another
two generations, the average num-
Der of children would be less than
one"
The cause in the decline In birth
rate Professor Hewes attributes to
the economic conditions and to mar
