Birth Rate In United States Swings Upward

The alarm that has been felt in some quarters regarding the de- cline in our birth rate in the last two decades may be in some de- gree mitigated, if the upturn in our birth rate in 1897, and espe- cially in 1888, should prove an in- dication of a new trend rather than a mere temporary fiutter. Commenting on these facts, the statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company say that this upturn is not restricted to our own population, but that a similar situation has been observed in most of the English speaking countries, in the Scandinavian countries and in several of the Bal tic states.
 Provisional data for the Ameri- can population indicate a birth rate of 17.8 per 1000 for 1888, the highest for any year since 1881, and greater by 7.9 per cent than NllC ACCOlN AOW AdbC OA 4OoO. kAo compared with the birth rate for 1887, the 1898 rate represents the largest year-to-year gain of any time since 1920, and will be the first since the period 1919 to 1921 to mark a two-year succession of annual gains.
 Indirect evidence that we are dealing with a significant increase in birth rate is found in the sit- uation as observed abroad" the statisticians explain. For exam pie, England and Wales, Northern
 Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, the Union of South Africa, and the Baltic countries, with Lith- uania alone excepted, as well as the Scandinavian countries, have all shown increases in their birth rates in recent years, although no special steps have been taken by the government in any of these countries to stimulate the birth rate, as has been done in Germany with success, and in Italy without any notable success.

DR.. Eugenie Leonard
Addresses Meeting
OF Democratic Club

The modern woman is not as origi-
nal in her contribution to political
and economic life as she thinks, de-
clared DR.. Eugene Leonard Of the
United States Office of Education
yesterday at the luncheon meeting
of the Woman's National Demo-
cratic Club.
DR.. Leonard, who is on special as
signment from the Office of Educa-
ton to assist in the preparation OF
a series of radio broadcasts entitled,
Women in the Making of Amer
ica," sponsored by the Office of Edu-
cation, spoke on the contributions
of women toward civilization, gen.
orally, and on those of Gallant
American Women" particularly.
1--WE, women of the goth century
have often styled ourselves the new
woman" said DR.. Leonard, but we
are not new" Even the things we
do are not new, rather they are age
less and new only to us. Since time
began, women have made their con-
tribution to the growing civiliza-
ton"
There is just one difference that
I can see," she added. I'VE have
developed a curiosity about our
selves: we want to know what we
have esdone, what part we have played
in the vast drama of history"
Much of DR.. Leonard's material
for the broadcasts is being supplied
by the World Center for Women's
Archives. She is also doing re-
search on the use of tests and
measurements in 1900 public high
schools that have counselors to de-
termine to what extent they are
used in guidance programs.

president of the club, presided and
