M1 27" “r~ged Increase Among Col- " 15g9e Graduates Questioned by Educators. 2( « Associated Press. s " 'STON, August 22.—Is race suicide . casing among college graduates? oy irice Ricker of the United States| 96 lic health service says it is and tes statistics. Some college presi- its are inclined to doubt the co sions drawn by the health service cial and think his figures give a ong impression. Others say that 'm lack of statistics of their own .y are mot prepared to discuss the sject. They admit that Mr. Ricker's ures are startling and that they sent a disquieting view of the fu- re. Addressing the recent convention of ~ National Educational Association Des Moines, Iowa, Mr. Ricker was noted as follows: “Investigation by - federal public health service over —— period of years indicates that the ogeny of one thousand graduates o such institutions as Harvard, . Princeton, Vassar and Smith 11 not exceed Aifty in 100 years from »w.” He proceeded to compare re- \ts of a similar canvass among il terate foreigners and said it in ited that in a like period the origi- al thousand would be multiplied at ~ast a hundred times. Harvard Official’s Views. Frederick L. Allen, secretary of the = “larvard University Corporation, pro- Jluced some figures of his own from ihe Harvard records. He said: “Mr. Ricker's assertion would seem at first reading to give the impre don that college students have he average less than one child aplece. “Phis is not so among Harvard gradu- ites, at any rats. Among the classes 1881-90 at Harvard, the last ten - lasses whose statistics are available «nd may be considered fairly com plete, the average number of men pe: ‘lass was 248, of whom 183 married and had 372 children, an average of 2.0 children per married graduate, or 1 children per capita for the whole class. The Yale figures for the same period are similar. ! No figures on__the available from Wellesley Colle, _+ but President Ellen S. Pendleton gives 1t as her impression that as far as the the number of marriages and the num. ber of children per marriage have . creased rather than decreased as the * years have gone by. “Some twenty or more years ago,” said Miss Pen- dleton, “The Association of Col- « legiate Alumnal gathered quite elaborate statistics comparing the health, number of marriages and num- of children per marriage of college women with similar statistics of their sisters who did not go to college or their cousins nearest their age. These statistics showed that there was very slight differences between the two classes. but such difference . as there was, was in favor of the col-{ lege-bred women. Smith College Figures. An article for the Smith Alumnae € Quarterly and based on The Quinquen- nial Catalogue of 1915 is offered as the latest available information re- garding the graduates of Smith Col- { Jege and their children. This gave ,= the average number of children for each of the total number of alumnae (5962, with the class of 1915 omit- ted), as _.56. _The average of children for each marriage in the classes ‘79 to ‘86 was 2.15. This de- creased with later classes until the average for each marriage from 1879 up to 1915 was only 1.34. The <compiler, Florence Homer Snow of the class of 1904, suggests that if the figures seem small, arguments for the defense include the facts that the . youngest classes are the largest and that many college women marry late, a0 that the figures regarding them are not available until they have been . many years out of college.
