The spinster Is vanishing.
As recently as 1910, is per
cent of American women in
their early sos were unmarried.
In 1860 the figure was only z
per cent. These are the figures
furnished by the Population
Reference Bureau in q profile
on women" Just issued.
About Is million American
girls will be married this. year
and about 100000 this month,
says the profile. For many 1t
will mean q quick divorce
About 100000 are granted each
year. For many will come the
problem Of whether or not to
take some kind Of Job. More
than half the women in the
American labor force are mar
ried and more than half Of
these have children under 10.
For most, says the profile, 1t
will mean babies. More than
4 million were born last year.
Married women in their early
sos now are expected to average
three children each, says the
profile, which was prepared un-
der the direction Of DR.. Robert
Cook, director Of the bureau.

Childless Couple,
Spinster VANISHING

To-day" says the profile,
"the early life Of almost every
American is largely taken up
with education. The girl has
opportunities equal to her
brother. About IS per cent of
all women are married by the
time they are 81. As the in
crease in married students
housing on many campuses at
tests, more and more students
marry while still in school, In
1861, IL per cent Of the women
in college were married. Almost
half that number in high
school were married.
Most married women have
children. The voluntarily child
less couple, like the spinster,
seems to be q thing Of the past.
Very few couples these days
choose to have only one child"
DR.. Cook Is concerned pri-
marily with the effect Of this
on the American population. It
now Is growing faster. he says,
than that Of most other in
dustrial nations.
In 1860 more than 3 million
children had divorced or sep
arated parents. The American
divorce rate now Is only half
the peak reached Just after the
last world war. but 1t remains
one of-the highest In the world.
American women tend to
have their last child by the
time they are 20. BY "a, with
the youngest In school, the
mothers full-time child tend
ing chores are behind her. She
is likely to be bored and want
something to do for the re-
naming 40 years Of her life.
A result, says the profile, is
the enormous increase Of mar
ried women In the work force.
A third Of all wives today are
working. About half Of these
have children.
