Rom the New York Herald.

A professor OF zoology at the University
OF California, speaking the other day before
the Academy of Science in San Francisco
made bold to declare that higher education
is more devastating to the human race than
war" He based his epigrammatc conclusion
on the prevalence OF small taml1es among
the highly intelligent" tending toward the
extinction OF the better endowed stock
There seems to be little question in regard
10 the fact of comparative sterlllty among
college graduates. One prominent scientist
has shown that 90 per cent OF all the Wo-
men Of the United States marry before the
age of 40, but that among college women
only hall that number have married at the
same age AS result of Investigations at
one OF the leading women's colleges he found
that the marriage and birth rate OF the most
brilliant students who had been elected
members of Phi Beta Kappa was lowest OF
all. =
Undoubtedly the higher education in the
universities exclusively for men or women
leads indirectly to postponement OF marriage.
II is not only that the period OF education
in itself causes postponement OF marriage
but that the period of earning power is FUR
Their delayed particularly among those stu
dents who enter the legal, medical and 9th
cr professions in which several years are
required to develop practice. -.
A statistical study made OF the families OF
the average size of the family Of the parents
OF these men was 400 children, whereas the
average size of the family OF the men them
selves is 2.22 children.
Similar wide difference in birth rate exists
between the native and foreign born popula-
ton in the United States Many of the old
New England families are dying out and
their places are being taken by recent i'm
migrants In Massachusetts, the birth rate OF
the foreign born is twice that OF the native
population, while the death rate is about the
same for both.
The United States census for 1920 shows
that the women who gave birth to children
in 1919 the average number of children born
to native white mother had been 3D. while
the average number born to a foreign born
white mother had been 40.
Much OF the comparative sterll1ty among
the older native families and among college
graduates can be attributed to the fact that
in these cases the desired standard of living
has outstripped income. One of the still
settled questions among biologists is wheth-
er the comparative sterility of the upper
classes is wholly question OF economic or
other external circumstances. Another ques-
ton that has yet to be satisfactorily answer
ed is to what extent the upper classes from
social or economic standpoint really do cor
respond to the upper classes from the biologic
standpont-that is, from the standpoint of
| good stock"
Making reasonable allowances for eXcep-
tens and points of doubt, however, it does
appear beyond question that there has been
a tendency for good stock to die out at the
expense Of inferior stock How this is to be
remedied is a question calling for the most
thorough consideration. Mere exhortaton as
experience has shown, is close to futile.

Victim Of Laws.

Secretary of State Hughes, addressing the
American Law Institute in Washington,
said that there were too many laws and
law factories. and that this ever increasing
output had made the country victim of I'M
certainty and confusion. He declared the
greatest need existed in the administration
OF criminal law, and that the greatest duty
was not that OF enacting laws but of enforc-
ing laws. Every law passed that IS not en-
forced adds to the contempt in which the
really essential laws are held Americans, APP
parently, consider it privilege to break
laws, and, as they do, they are the most
privileged people in the world

TIME BRINGS MANY THINGS.

From the Sylvester Local
After fifteen or twenty years of waiting
Dawson is about to realize the long dream
OF being the possessor of federal building
The building is now under construction, and
the Terrell metropolis ought to be happy
Maybe Sylvester will have a federal building
some day. We have made a start by our
congressman introducing a bill to buy a site
and if we succeed as well as Dawson our
grandchildren may have the pleasure OF see
ing under construction a seventy-fve or
hundred thousand dollar postofice building

From the Albany Herald
The American dollar is supposed to be
the best dollar in the world today, and yet
its purchasing power is only 60.8 per cent
of its value in July 1914. The world war
upset prices and disturbed money values not
only in this country but in all the countries
OF Europe and it begins to look as if pre-
var standards will never be restored.
