Institute. Refer- ring to Canada thegspeaker said that the 'increase of the birth rate in On- tario to twenty-five per thousand had been' accompanied, not by a cor: respouding rise fn the natural in- crease, but by an increase in the de crease, but by: an increase in the death rate to fourteen per thousand. The additional births appear to have populated the graveyards rather than the country. Toronto wasia most stifiking example of this phenomenon. Canada would be able to support an immense population some day, but any 'attempt to crowd it rapidly with children of inefficient town- bred immigrants would! only raise the death rate.
