LOWER BIRTH-RATE
EDUCATION IS BLAMED PROFESSOR SPRINGS SURPRISE By Cable. —Press Association. —Copyright GENEVA, Thursday. Professor A. M. Carr-Saunders, of Liverpool University, surprised the delegates to the World Population Conference by declaring that education should be discouraged in countries desiring a higher birth-rate, because the more intelligent parents became the smaller became the contribution to the next generation. The differential fertility among the classes was largely due to family limitation. The greatest progeny-producing classes in Britain were the Welsh miners and the Midlands agriculturists. The criminal class would eventually ces.se to exist. It 3 fertility was only fiveeighths of that of the general community.
Dr. Grotjahn, of Berlin University, pointed out that Germany’s surviving births were only 20 per 1,000, due to the drastic decline in the birth-rate of the working class. Germany must soon face the same population problem as France. The birth-rate in the German cities was not sufficient to maintain the present population. —A. and N.Z.
