Continental United States
Has 11O,1OO,0OO Population

New York, Feb. 2O-The population
of the continental United States on
January ]. 1923. was Approximately
10, 100000 according to a preliminary
estimate made by the National Blu
rcau of Economic Research, Of this
, city and given out today. This shows
an estimated gain of 100000 since
he date of the last government CEN
Sus.
These figures are necessarily pre-
liminary. says tho bureau for the
final census figures on births and
deaths are incomplete after the end
of 1920. However, enough data are
availa bic to show that since January
1. 1921. the rate of increase in pOpu-
noticeably, the present rate ap-
preaching that of prc-war years.
This moro rapid gain in population.
according to the bureau, has been
brought about partly by increase in
net migration. hut has been decided
ly reinforced by a reduction in the
death rate. At the present rate of
growth. the population at the 1880
census will reach 10000. 900.
The estimates by half years are as

a-CcnSus figurCS
| b-Final estimate by this bureau
preliminary estimate.
! 1t is probable that the rcvisione to
he made in all estimates. except that
for January 1, 1923, will be relative
ly slight, but this figure may he
changed materially when fuller data
on births. deaths and immigration
are received.
| 1t is impossible to calculate with
precision. the population or the
country ut any given date, the state
mcnt of the bureau SAYS, the reason
being that in many of the states,
1 births and deaths are not reported,
! and even in the registration aren q
very considerable number of deaths
and still more births appear to cs-
cape being recorded. There are pre-
srmnbly, also, minor errors in the
statistics of immigra ton. Because
OF tho difficulties involved, the GEN.
sus bureau has made its estimates
of the population for the intercensal
years on the simple assumption that
| the rate of growth is the same as in
| the precedin.' decade. as
| This census process, which 10
+ termed straight line extrapOlation,
has mainly its simplicity to com
mend it. for. when applied. errors OF
considerable size gradually accumu-
late as changing conditions affect
population growth. For example, the
official method showed a population
for January /. 1920. nearly two mil
lions greater than that given by the
actual census count on that date.
Tho method of procedure devised
by the National Bureau of Economic
Research to correct this difficulty is
relatively simple. The number OF
births and deaths have been ,esti-
mated for each half year and the in
crease of popula ton due to excess of
births over deaths has been calcu-
lated. This amount has been cor
rectcd by adding the excess of i'm
migration over emigration for each
half year. The population for June
80. 1910 has been estimated from
smooth curve, and figures have then
been built up for each half year un-
til the census of 1920. ~
The estimate thus arrived at for
January /. 1920, is in error by APP
proximately half a million, or only
about one-fourth Of the correspond
ing error resulting from the official
method OF estimate. The labors of
the bureau. in this regard. have been
under the immediate direction Of DR..
WillfOrd I. King. formerly assistant
professor Of political economy Of the
University Of Wisconsin, who has
been engaged on this work since 1921.
The figures presented in the fore
going table are derived by following
the procedure just described, the adj
justment to correct inadequate re.
porting Of births and deaths. being
the same as those found necessary to
offset this error in the last decade!
