OUR POPULATION.

Along comes science to bear out part
of an old adage from Tin Pan Alley.
The rich get richer and the poor get
children.
In the country as in the city, the
higher the economic and social status
of the parents. the fewer are the chill
dren born. Whether this limitation
of babies is accomplished entirely by
birth control or is partly the result
Of diminished fecundity it is i'm
possible to say.
These observations we're brought to
light yesterday through announce
rent OF a study by the division of re-
search of the Milbaank Memorial
Fund of the records of 5000 married
women of collaborating age, taken
from the original schedules Of the 1910
federal census.
The study shows that in rural
America farm laborers have the most,
and farm owners the fewest children
per family; and in American cities
unskilled laborers have the most, and
professional classes the fewest chill
dren per family.
Wives in the rural population, as a
whole, were found to be distinctly
more fertile than those in the urban
population. The farm families had
an average Of one more child than
city families. The Collaborating rates
Of the rural population were So per
cent higher than those of the urban.
1t was found that while 100 city
wives are having 100 children, a SINH
lar number Of farm wives are having
260 children.
The groups studied included once
married, native-white wives selected
from the SO northern cities, 100000 to
100000 population. and from "a rural
counties neighboring the cities.
The child bearing rate for the most
fertile urban class, the unskilled
laborers, was 70 per cent higher than
tllat for the least fertile, the profess
sional class. Similarly, the rate for
tie most fertile farm class, the labor
ers, was 81 per cent higher than that
for the least fertile class, the farm
owners. The least fertile rural class,
tie farm owners, had a birth rate II
pr cent higher than the most fertile
urban class, the unskilled laborers.
The study revealed, as might be ex-
pacted, that the later the marriage,
t. e fewer were the offspring. Deferred
marriage was found to have a greater
effecs upon the birth rate among
rural women than among urban wo-
men. Urban women who married in
their teens had SIS more children per
100 than those who had married be-
tween 20 and Is, whereas rural women
who had married in their teens had
u more children per 100 than those
who had married between the ages of
&c and rs.
