POPULATION NAY NEED
ADJUSTMENT

AS if American cities did not already
have enough problems, a declining birth
rate is about to present them with an en-
tirely new one.
E. O. Baker. specialist attached to the
Department of Agriculture. warns the Am
erican Country Life Association that the
American birth rate has already fallen so
low that the national population cannot
be maintained permanently.
Nothing can keep our cities at their pres
ent size. he says, but a heavy migration
from farm to city, and that will do the
trick only for a few more decades-at the
cost, incidentally, Of a drained and impov-
erished countryside.
Sometimes one is forced to suspect that
the race has managed to reach an end Of a
whole biological era. During the last two
centuries, there has been a tremendous ex-
pansion of world population. The rising
curve now seems to be l~eveling off.

SOCIETY HAS LOST ITS CLAIM TO
CULTURAL LEADERSHIP

One Of the minor calamities Of the year,
little noticed by a needless world, seems to
have been the dropping Of Elliott Roose-
welt son of the president, from the rolls
of the Boston Social Register.
There was a time when this would have
been a bit Of a sensation. A generation
ago. or more. society spelled itself with a
capital s, and the DEGREES of the inner cir
Gle were matters Of Importance. One Of
the stock tales in American folklore had
to do with the newly rich man whose wife
and daughters worked themselves to a
FRAGILE trying to get into society"
But American society has changed, along
with the rest of the nation. Nobody cares
amy more who's in and who isn't; and the
change has not come 50 much from shifting
economic conditions a. from the ~frivolity
Of the self-elected upper class which has
sought to exercise social leadership.
Society" in any land, is supposed to
have responsibilities as we'll as privileges.
II is supposed to represent the best that
is country can display in the manne Of
gracious and cultured living; to provide
leadership in statecraft. in the arts, in let
tiers, to set the tone for the rest Of the pop
uiace.
But these are just the points at which
our upper class has failed us.
Cultured and gracious living? Well,
American society in recent years has fur
nished Us with some Of the sorriest lawsuits
any man could care to read about. After
going close to the limit with the Stillman
and Rhinelander divorce cases, it handed
us a Vanderbilt squabble over custody Of
a small child.
II was so lacking in penetration that a
Mike Romanoff could impose on it; it went
for any kind of a foreign title down to and
including the Mdivanis.
II made grand opera a social register toy,
found itself unable to finance it and final
~ had to call on the general public for
help. 1t put on a flossy yacht race with
the British, and so staged it that its after
math was remarkably like that of a raw
decision prize fight.
For such reasons as these. the word so
ciety' Is not as impressive as it used to be.
The social historian Of the future will find
one Of the most interesting points about the
present era the fact that it had an upper
class which failed to perform any of the
upper class traditional functions.

New States

Population has nothing to do
with admitting a territory to state,
hood. The Constitution states
New states may be admitted by
the congress into this Union; but
no new state shall be formed or
erected within the Jurisdiction of
any other state, nor any state be
formed by the junction of two or
more states, or parts of states,
without the consent of the legisla-
lures of the states concerned. as
well as of the congress" Political
circumstances govern the admission
Of the states. Some territories
have been made states though
their population was only a hand
full; while Hawaii, with a popula-
ton larger than several of the
states, will probably never have
other than territorial government.
