Careful Children


Proof that the younger generation
rapidly Is attuning itself to the me-
chanical age is offered by automobile
fatality statistics for 1882, recently
announced.
There was q time when one out Of
every four persons killed In a traffic
accident was q child but the latest
figures show this proportion reduced
to about one in every five, . gain OF
nearly 20 per cent.
The causes Of this reduction In child
fatality before the modern jugger-
naut are speculative but some posi-
bic ones can be listed.
First Is the increased attention Of
parents to the Job Of training their
children to be careful. The average
young citizen has his moments of
heedlessness but the constant warn
ing to stop. look and listen," given
him by father and mother. is bound
to have some effect. Every motorist
Is familiar with the phenomena of
child standing on q street crossing
watching for a supersafe opportunity
to cross and he thanks his stars that
this Is so.
Aiding and abetting has been a
campaign in the schools. Teachers
and others participated, school-boy
patrols were organized and in some
centers juvenile traffic officers were
appointed to lend their help at hours
and In places where the menace was
most pronounced.
Whether any specific measure had
. decidedly beneficial effect may be
hard to determine but the product Of
the combined effort was to center the
childs mind, when encounterinR a \
place Of potential hazard, on the fact
that he might join the vast process
sion Of victims which still is much too
large.
The year 1882 was the third In sue
cession In which the motor fatality
rate for children showed q decline.
stable gains having been made In |
1890 and 1891 despite the fact that the |
Of cars on the streets and
stu was increasing in those |
years.
The answer which juvenile Ameri-
CO has given to this problem-incress-
ed attention to the matter in hand
Is one which the adult motorist would |
do well to emulate. Most Of the traf.
nc accidents taking mature lives
would never occur were 1t not for
on the part of some one.

Birth Rate Still Dropping

Birth Rate Still Dropping
Add to the important problems
which this nation must eventually
face that Of declining birth rate.
That this phenomena has grown
to startling proportions In the Unit
ed States was demonstrated by the
census Of 1880. That 1t Is continuing
Is shown by later data.
Figures for 1891 as compared with
those Of . decade earlier show . de-
cline everywhere, ranging from SO
per cent In the district Of Columbia to
$40 per cent In Connecticut.
That this development may have
some connection with woman in in
dustry Is shown by the fact that the
tendency is most marked in the
northeastern section Of the country
where industrialization is more pro-
nounced than In most other regions.
But this deduction may easily be
offset by referring to the records Of
agricultural states such - Oregon.
Washington and Virginia where the
drops were higher than average.
A. . whole. however. the farm states
compared very favorably. Maine and
Mississippi suffering the smallest de-
creases and other farming areas COM
ing close behind them.
The significance Of the trend Is
manifest. II means that, eventually,
We shall have to remodel some Of our
grade schools into high schools and
then into homes for the aged, that In
dustries dependent on an expanding
population will suffer hard sleddiug.
For example. the manufacturer Of
baby shoes Is losing q market whereas
the maker Of comfy slippers for old
folks is eventually going to gain one.
But the really alarming thing about
the whole business Is that the de.
crease is most pronounced among the
so-called upper classes. People who
can afford to rear and educate their
children to advantage, who have q
heritage OF culture and success behind
them, are not going in for parenthood
on . very large scale.
One wonders If the result will be
. ruling race" In which the favored
sons and daughters Of the few will
