MYERS, PH.. D. Head Department Parent Education Cleveland College, Western Reserve University There are about 35,000,000 parents of childern under 21 in the United States. About 40 per cent of our popula tion now are over 40 years of age. In 50 years more about half our pop ulation will be over 40, and only a quarter will be under 20. In 1950 we will have 10,000,000 people over 65 years of age. Our population is get ting older. Will this make life hard er for the child? Fewer children are being born: the birth rate is declining. And the greatest decrease is among those who economically can best afford children and can give them best opportunities. Between 1900 and 1930 the decrease in size of family was 10 per cent in professional groups, while among unskilled labor it was only 1 per cent. Whereas families of farm own ers also decreased 1 per cent in this period, families of farm renters in creased 5 per cent, and of farm la borers increased 13 per cent. According to Lorimer and Osborne, ‘‘there is hardly a single urban group in which the majority of the young people enjoy the advantages of high school, and in which many continue their education through college that is now replacing itself from one gen eration to another.” Will our best American stock gradually disappear?” Experts have estimated that at present rate we might expect, during a generation, a decrease of 12 per cent in the ‘‘genius class” and an in crease of from 5 to 9 per cent in the various grades of feebleminded. Never Learn to Read In the United States are 4,000,000 wh have never learned to read and write, though many of them could. We have 3,000,000 children with imparled hearing, and 3,000,000 more with speech defects which greatly handicap them socially. We have about as many persons in the institutions for the mentally sick as in our colleges and universities combined. On the average, more than every other hospital bed is oc cupied by a mental patient. One child out of 20 will spend part of its life in a hospital for mental disease. After some years of decline, in fant mortality in this country re mained stationary but rose in 1934. The United States ranks higher than many other leading countries of the world in letting babies die before they are a year of age. We rank first among the civilized nations of the western world in letting mothers die in child birth—with more than 15,000 maternal deaths a year—near ly half as many as the number of persons killed annually In automobile accidents. In a recent study at Columbia uni versity, Dr. Eisenberg found that 43 per cent of the children interviewed have dreams attributable to radio programs. Os these dreams, three fourths are nightmares. Some of the foregoing facts shouK make good materials for group dis- I cussion. SAVANNAH HIGH’S SWIMMERS GO TO Continued From Page Three. Tech High of Atlanta in the path way. Sonny Bragg, who scored his first win of the season Friday night when he bowled over Reese of the ”Y” team, will dive from a three-foot board in competition in the North Georgia city. Displaying the required dive form which has so characterized the diving of this all-around athlete, Bragg won over Reese by a wide mar gin, thus dispelling any doubts that his backers may have of him. Weeks the unheralded youngster, who won his event also Friday night in the 100-yard backstroke, seems to have ac quired the polish necessary in com petitive swimming when he took Mil likan of the “Y” team. Licking the ”Y” aggregation, 35 to 30, the Savannah High boys scored a smashing upset when they took the measure of the veterans. Taking all but four events, the swimmers from the Northside institution went on to win the medley, an event in which the “Y” boys were thought undefeat able. It is the concensus that, if the Jacket swimmers do not become stage-struck while in Atlanta in view of the strong competition offered there, they will come off on top.
