MORE CHILDREN IN
COUNTRY THAN IN CITY.

According to the census Of 1920,
people in the State of Tennessee are
either infants or children under Is
years of age, 1912 per cent are young
people Is to 19 years old, 35 per cent,
about one-third, are men and women
in the prime of life, being 20 to Al
year old, while 1876 per cent, being
45 years old and over, are well along
in middle life if they have not reach
ed old age.
The urban population as compared
with the rural shows some rather
striking differences in age, the per-
centage 20 to a. years of age being
435 for the upban population, as COM
pared with 32 for the rural, while the
percentage under Is years of age is
27l in the urban population, as
against 1873 in the rural. These dif-
ferences 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 ac-
tive adult population of the cities at
the expense of the rural districts.
A little over one-half of the popu-
lation, So per cent, are old enough to
vote, being q years or over. The
males of military or fighting age, IS
to Al, constitute 1913 per cent of the
male population and 1877 per cent of
the total population.
