By vil is t communities having ing fron nhabitants. The figures in the report show that at the last census period the average number of children to each 100 m ried women between 15 and 45 3 of ‘age villages was 157, as com- pared with 128 in the c while in the distinctly farming areas the aver age number was 19 Men Outnumber Women. The population in the villages is shown by the repogt to be very dif- in its composition ‘and char- acteristics from the popula n in the strictly farming areas. analysis The shows, for example, n try’s farm men to ever that in the coun population there are 109 men, while in the villages there are only 95 men to each | 100 women Basing his criticism on e and other differences, Dr. C.

According to the report, the vil lages have a disproportionately large number of old people as compared with the cities and the farmin ireas Of the men in the villages, 28.5 per cent are 45 years of age or older; while for the United States as a whole, 21.5 per cent of the men are in that age group. Of the women in e villages, 27.4 per cent are 45, or e passed that age, while this is true of only 20 per cent of the women of the entire country.

In the villages of the Middle West, 311 per cent of the men and 29.4 per cent of the women are 45 or older; in those of the Far West, per cent of the men and 23.8 per cent of the women; in those of the South, 21 per cent of the men and 19.4 per cent of the women. The figures show that for every 100 women the Middle Atlantic villages have only 88 men; the villages of the Middle West, 95 men; those of the Far West, 105 men; those of the South, 94 men.

In the ‘afternoon the conditions undergo somewhat of a change and not only counsel care and deliberation, but also | demand the exercise of self-restraint and self-control in order to avoid yield- | inz to impulse and the consequent disaster attending such a course.
