DURING the last decade there has been a significant reversal in the trend of the birth rate. In the twenty years from 1914 to 1933 the number of births per 1,000 white persons declined over one-third, from approximately 28.0 to 17.2, with only four of these twenty years showing a slight and temporary break in this downward trend.' The bottom of the trough was reached in 1933, however, for the rate rose to 17.8 in 1934 and to 18.8 in 1938
