THE CONCORD TIMES V. S. GAINS 1.943.000 POPULATION IN YEAR BY EXPERT ESTIMATE Totals 112,826.000 According to Esti mates Announced Today. New York. June 10.—The population of the United States totalled 112.820,000 op January 1, 1924. according to esti mates announced today-by the National Bureau of Economic Research. This compares xvith 110.883.000 on January 1. 1923. and the census count of 10. T . on January 1. 1920. The most remarkable gain was record ed in the last half of 1923, the net in crease being 1.102.000. a greater growth than in any otTier half year during the. last two decades, and probably greater than any six months' period in the na tion’s history. The gain for the* entire year was 1,943.000. The bureau estimates the population of the continental United States for each half year since January 1, 1920, to have been approximately as follows: Jan. 1. 1020 l(Ki.711,000 July 1, 1920 106,422.000 Jan. 1. 1921 . 107,575.001) July 1. 1921 108.533,000 Jan 1. 1922 109,298,000 July 1. 1922 109,.808.000 Jan. 1. 1023 110,883,000 July 1. 1923 111.664.000 Jan. 1, 1924 112,826,000 All tne figures after January 1. 1922, are necessarily tentative, for the bureau of the census has not as yet published complete monthly data for births ami 'deaths covering the periods since 1921. Improved methods of estimating the nation's population for the years follow ing the census count in 1920. were de veloped by the Bureau of Economic Rre search in continuance of its studies of income in the United States, and the relation of income to population. The process evolved b ythe bureau is based on the "registration area" theory and takes into consideration all elements of error disclosed in previous work and the results attained by it are believed to approximate very closely actual fig ures. In announcing the figures tonight I)r. AYillford I. King, under whose supervi sion they were gathered, said : "The fact that the rate of increase in population during the decade 1910 to 1920 was considerably less than the cor responding rate during the previous ten years led many persons to anticipate that in the future we might look for ward to a rate of population expansion considerably-lower than that experienced during the last century. "Such -expectations have been rudely tflmttered. b# the. ■ c,t the Task Tows, years, and especiall by what occurrelT during the last half of 1923, in which period the rate of population growth ap pears to have been greater than in any other half years during the last two decades, and probably greater than in any six mouths within the history of the nation. "This unusual increase was due to two facts: first, a very heavy recorded excess of immigration over emigration, which increased our population by 505,- 000; and second, by the fact that the death rate was as low as has ever been recorded. "According to the estimates of the National Bureau of Economic Research, there were about 1,238,000 births against some 621,000 deaths, giving a net nat ural increase of about 617.000. This number added to the 505.000 gain from migration, totals 1,122.000. the estimated increse in population indicated by the government reports for the last half of 1923 as compared with a similar esti mate of total growth for the entire year amounting to 1,863.000. This yearlly total may, in turn, be compared with a similarly calculated figure for 1920 of 1.784.000, for 1921 of 1,643,000, and for 1922 of 1,505,000. "Since the government reports appa rently underestimate ither births, immi gration, or both by an average of 80.000 a year, it is necessary to add 320.000 to the sum of these four items in or der to arrive at the final estimate of the gain for the four years, namely, 7,115.000. "It appears, then, that the average gaiti during the last four years was 1.778.750 a year a scompared xvith an average increase of 1.418,000 during the decade 1910 to 1920.’’ 25,000 For t'atawba College. Hickory. N. C.. June 16.—The Wom an's Missionary Society of tlie general synod of the Reformed Church of the United States, has pledged .$25,000 to the endowment fund of Catawba College, which will be removed from this city to Salisbury for the 1925 term, it has been announced here.
