nils startling statenvnt came out
In the lecture on birth and birth rate,
delivered by Professor Walter F. Willi
c"C In the course on sanitary science
In Goklwln Smith hall yesterday.
"Lit me not bo understood as pre
vdlctlog the continuance of thts move
ment," continued Professor Wlllcox,
"but often the best method of bringing
home to yourselves the vast sweep and
significance of the changes revealed by
i statistics Is to project them Into the
future and see whither they lead. It
is one of the main duties of statisti
cian .to. .point out the whirlpools In
the stream along which society 1 go
In, before the grip of the current be
comes Irresistible, and thus to arouse
a desire to change the Course.
"The true reason for the fall In the
birth rate is that In modern times,
mainly within the-last half century,
births and birth rato have come under
the control of human will and choice
In a sense and to u degree never' be

The difference being, that the vote I
Grant county was very clone, and the
lack of proper . official notice might
have changed the result. In Union
county the majority being so large that
all of the votes cast In the; precincts
where the alleged irregularities oc
curred, would not have changed the
results in the least. '...'.
