Whittier America?
The American Journal of Sociology
official organ of the American So
Geological Association, presents each
year statistical picture of the trends
of the times.
The graphs this year were prepared
by Prof. William F. Ogburn, head of
the sociology department of the Uni
versity of Chicago, Among the out
standing revelations is that the popu-
lation during the depression is prac-
tically standing still
Births Decline
As Marriages Increase.
Here are some Of Prof. Ogburns S
statistics:
The birthrate declined steadily from
28 per thousand in 1920 to about 18
in 1882
The death rate curve is a success
sion of ups and downs with peak of
IA per thousand in 1920 and low of
II in 1882.
The size of the American household
dropped from an average of five per-
sons in 1922 to four in 1882.
The percentage of married persons
in the whole population increased
from Sc per cent in 1890 to 81 per
cent in 1890.
The depression found divorce at
its lowest ebb in so years. The rate
was 16 a thousand in 1870, IA in
1880, II in 1915 and l.3 in 1880.
The increase of population through
immigration fen from 100000 in 1922
to practically nothing in 1882

lation actually voting was at high

1892.
The prisoners rose from 35 per
100000 in 1923 to so in 1882.
Communications
Hit Low During 1920.
Communication. as measured by the
average number of letters, kilograms
and telephone calls of each person,
was at low of 275 in 1920, increased
to 375 in 1929, and had dropped to
300 in 1882.

Still Ahead Of Europe

william Feather, Cleveland bust
ness man, returns from a trip to Eur
ope with the remark that, in spite
Of the depression, this country is liv-
ing on q plane that Europe will be
lucky to reach In another genera
tion."
Compared with France, Germany,
and England, he says. the ordinary
man in the United States is living
If not a life Of luxury, at least a life
of comfort.
Conditions in England are better
than those on the continent, but
even there 1.-THE plain people do not
know, as they never have known, a
living standard comparable to whut
we find here after five years OF dev-
astating depression"
Here is something worth remem-
bering. It does no good, Heaven
knows, to try to minimize the effects
Of the depression, to try to pretend
that there has been little real hard
ship.
But it doesn't hurt to remember
that, when all is said and done, we
are still luckier than most people
The American standard Of living is
an heritage which even the depres-
sion hasn't wrecked.

ity Is that he will be accredited
dumb" unless the parent or teacher
discovers in time what the trouble is.
II he doesn't hear well, he will suffer
the same consequences and be la
beled inattentive In addition.
The answer, Of course, Is adequate
physical preparation of the child for
his new situation, particularly with
regard to his sight. Eyes abused in
early childhood may never recover
from the strain thus thrown upon
them. 1t is easily possible to handi-
cap an entire life by failure to pay
attention to these essentials.
In Bismarck we have splendid
school nurse, skilled at noting such
things In the pupils under her care,
but one nurse cannot be expected to
observe all the things that should be
seen among several thousand chill
dren. Besides, she has lot of other
things to do besides suggest correc-
tive measures.
Every year the community council,
splendid organization Of women,
pays for many pairs Of spectacles for
young eyes, recommended by the
nurse In cases where the parents are
unable to provide them. But the
nurse, herself, would be the first to
tell you that many cases where cor
receive treatment is needed probably
are overlooked.
In Fargo last year special atten-
ton was given to this subject and 1t
was found that nearly half of that
city's grade school pupils had defec-
tive vision In greater or less degree.
The probability is that Bismarck
would show about the same average.
The answer, Of course, Is to have
each child examined before school
starts. Physicians and dentists, who
don't get much business from that
source now, might properly make a
special rate for this service, one high
enough to cover the cost and still
low enough to encourage adoption of
this system by majority Of parents.
They could do it as part of their
community service, to which they al
ready give a great deal.
Where parents cannot pay for it.
some arrangement should be made to
solve the problem either by public
clinic, paid for from public funds. or
by q more thorough inspection under
the aegis Of the school board after
classes have started.
School buildings are Important
but not nearly so important as the
boys and girls who get instruction in
them.

ALCOHOLIC LOGIC AND SNAKE

Ickes VS.. Farley
(EAr0o Eorlln)

Secretary Of Interior Ickes has won
another tilt with Postmaster General
Farley in the matter Of appointments.
Mr.. 1ckes seems to cling to what some
might term the old-fashioned notion
that an appointee to a highly tech
meal government position should have
his technical skill taken into considera-
ton along with his political standing.
The result has been the approval by the
President Of John w. Finch, dean Of
the University of Idaho School Of
Mines. as director Of Bureau Of Mines
which is in the Interior Department.
Some weeks ago this Finch matter
caused quite q little interest because of
the Washington dispatches which dis
closed that DR.. Finch had gone to
Washington to assume his duties but
when the commission was sent for,
Roosevelt's signature was found to be
lacking but there was q notation on
It which read: Held up temporarily
because Of political objections by P.
NJ. G."
Mr.. Farley, It appears, had heard
that DR.. Finch had voted for Presi-
dent Hoover In 1928 and later was
considered by the Hoover admins
trstiou for appointment to the job to
which he has now been named by
Mr. Roosevelt. although 1t Is held that
he was for Mr.. Roosevelt In 1882.
So the matter rested until the re-
turn Of the president. Mr.. Ickes has
shown that he recognizes the legiti-
mate partisanship claims upon the
administration, but he also believes
there are partisanship limits when
considering appointees to technical
posts. It = related that his wrath
concerning what had happened to DR.
Finch was beautiful to behold. He
took the matter UP IN detail with the
president and insisted that the one
named to the position should be con-
ddered first o. the basis Of technical
knowledge, competence and expert
ence. not solely from . pastisanGntr
angie. Mr.. Roosevelt signed the com
mi1non. APPARENTLY upon this pein-
|cple.

Answer-The correspondent refers
to the recently developed method Of
transurethral removal of the obstruct-
ing portion Of the prostate. Not all
biologists can do this successfully, but
some can, and in cases where the
method is applicable it IS q great boon,
for the obstruction is removed without

arrives home with the news that
Henry DunsWorth has ruined him.
Howard seems genuinely shocked.
Discussing the effect Of the dis.
