"It's the poor families who have the most children." The next time these vener able chestnuts are passed to you in a conversation, you can smile at the speaker and say "baloney." Research by the Population Reference Bureau shows there is no basis for either widely held belief. Using census bureau re ports as raw material, the Bureau made a comparative study of the size of U, S. fam ilies in 1910 (grandmother's day), 1940 (before the war), and 1957 (the last year for which figures are available). Here's what the study show ed: The percentage of Ameri can families with five or more children declined from 32.1 per cent in 1910 to 15.3 per cent in 1940 to 13.7 per cent last year. If you define a big family as one with seven or more children, the decline is even sharper. In 1910, 15.4 per cent of the familits were of that size. By 1940, the percentage was down to 6.3, and last year it was only 4:1. On the other hand, if you are willing to settle for four children as a "big" family, you can say that 1957 is on a par with 1910. The figures are 11.5 per cent and 11.4 per cent respectively. The really big jump since World War II has been in fa milies with two and three children. In 1940, 35.8 per cent of America's - families were in that category. Now nearly half of them-46.6 per cent are that size. There has been a corres ponding decrease in the num ber of families with one child or none. In 1940, one - child households constituted 20.5 per cent of the total. Last year 15.8 per cent. The percentage of childless marriages drop ped from 20 per cent to 12 per cent over the same period. As for the notion that poor families tend to beget more offspring than the well-to-do, this no longer is true. The birth rate in lower income groups has declined for sever al decades-a common phen nomenon in an industrial so ciety. The birth rate In middle and higher income brackets which rose sharply, after World War II, has remained high in spite of predictions by population experts that the upswing would be temporary.

Today the more income a family has, the more children it is likely to have. The most recent study of the income-family size correl ation was completed by the census bureau last August. It showed that families with in comes of less than $2,000 a year averaged 3.2 children. Families with incomes be tween $2,000 and $4,500 a year averaged 3.5 children. Families with incomes be tween $4,500 and $7,000 a year averaged 3.7 children. . Families with incomes over $7,000 a year averaged 3.8 children.
