The urban population as com

some rather striking differences

urban population as compared
with 1926 for the rural, while the
percentage under Is years of age
is 25.6 in the urban population
as against $40 In the rural.
These differences may indicate
larger families of children in the
country than in the city, but
probably indicate also the fact
that country children as they
grow up have tendency to flock
to the cities thereby increasing
the active adult population OF
the cities at the expense of the
rural districts.
