"At the present rate of births our population popula-tion is destined for a decrease in numbers." Prof. Carl C. Zimmerman Zimmer-man asserted in a prepared address before the New England Conference on Tomorrow's Children. Of any normal 2,000 babies born. Dr. Zimmerman Zim-merman said, 940 will be females, of which 700 will grow up to marry and somewhat more than 600 will bear children. Thus, in order to sustain a population each family must bear between three and four children on the average. e |
