More people find themselves ;with nothing to do, but .stimulate Iecstacies from looking at a picture !they fail to comprehend, or to ap- |prove of tomato soup under a pseu- jdonym. The increase of educationalopportunities, with the broadeningof intellectual and artistic interests,nave accentuated the difficulties of iacquiring actual breadth of informa-'tion and viewpoint. In this age, it is ;a struggle to know something. The ^requirements and strains placed |upon one’s times are tremendous.Hence the wholesale secession into 'a half-baked aestheticiani.sm. |Bolstering up this whole old guardof Victorian esoterics, is the broodof young people whose spiritualhome (whether or not they have oncewalked through Patchin Place, or.sat for ten minutes on a bench inthe Square) is Greenwich Village.One meets these people inevitably.They move through life in small in¬ner cliques, dedicating their stric-tured lives to a pose of importance.Their entire stock of conversationconsists of a few subtle dirty jokes,a catalogue of coups and drinks, aknowledge of names in the world ofart, and a few gestures of scorn castat that inchoate mass of jnilling andcommonplace creatures called thecanaille. Sometimes they have a tal¬ent, which results in the productionof poems or painting which can trickan observer into seeing an artisticproduction because of a technicalfacility. Then, they are even worse,for their vanity is inflated one hun¬dredfold.The more elderly culturists, those■who have never read a book writtenafter nineteen hndred, (unless itwas possibly a sneaking glancethrough “Ulysses” when no one waslooking) are a good counterpart ofthis first type. Instead of appropri¬ating Picasso, Hemingway, dr Ger¬trude Stein for their own tearoomemotional conquests, they Eissumeunto themselves Mathew Arnold,Robert Louis Stevenson, and ThomasCarlyle. But the difference ceaseshere, that is to say the distinctionbetween them is merely one of cat¬alogues. One finds amongst themthe same esotericism, the sae lackof humor, the same feeling of aninner sanctity.What happens in the case of thesesuperior creatures, is a dissociationof feeling and intelligence from life,that is from the whole teeming so-tcial situation that whirls about them.Their rfiinds become locked up in afew formulaes. in which imposing ad¬jectives predominate.

Bastian Editorial AssistantsJerome B. Strauss Editorial AssistantsRobert McCarthy Business AssistantsJames J. McMahon Business AssistantsTHE HARRIS LECTURESAt no other season of the year are cultural and educationalopportunities so rich and plentiful as they are during the SummerQuarter. And no other student is more intelligently appreciative ofthese advantages than the summer student, for whom—as a type—opportunity and desire rather than compulsion has consistentlybeen the motivating impulse of training.One of the outstanding features of the summer program is theseries of lectures presented on varied subjects by eminent author¬ities. Ninety odd lectures in the fields of economics, philosophy,art, natural sciences, and theology are scheduled during the term.Of these diverse series the Norman Wait Harris Memorial Instituteconducted during the first ten days of the quarter is perhaps themost prominent. The Sixth Institute now in progress is consider¬ing basic questions of population and migration with a view ofinsuring the future well being of this sphere. Internationally fam¬ous demographers and economists have expressed their opinions ofthe best methods of checking overpopulation and raising the stand¬ard of living.This is perhaps one of the most significant conferences ofmodern times, and The Maroon feels that these lectures sufficientlymerit the summaries printed below.

A meredoubling of the world’s population,however, will produce a strikingchange in the race composition, witha greatly increased percentage ofSlavs. The population of NorthAmerica, Western and Northern Eu¬rope ,and Australia even now areno longer reproducing themselves.Such w'ere the conclusions pre¬sented to the opening session of thesixth annual Institute of the HarrisMemorial Foundation Monday nightin Mandel hall by Robert R. Kuc-zinski, council member of the In¬stitute of Economics, Washington,D. C., and professor of economics inthe Berlin Handelschochschule.“The best estimate as to the in¬crease in the world’s population isthat the present rate is about five-eights of one per cent a year,” saidProf. Kuezinski. “If this rate wereto persist, there would be a doublingof population in 110 years. At pres-sent, the total of human beings onthe face of the globe is/somewhatbetween 1,700,000,OOfV'^nd 1,900,-000,000. But the^'^arth’s capacityis limited by the potential agricul¬tural resojjr'ces, and assuming thatthere afe 15 billion acres of arableland, and that 1.5 acres on an aver¬age are sufficient to support an in¬dividual the maximum populationwould not have to be placed at lessthan 10 billions.“Even allowing for all conceiv¬able advances in science and tech-niqe, and assuming that all humaneffort be directed to the mainten¬ance of a maximum number of peo¬ple, it sees impossible that the earthymight sustain more than six timesits present population, or about 11billion people. And to attain thismaximum, would involve, as Knibbsrightly puts its: ‘a perfecting of hu¬man knowledge, of human organiza¬tion, and of human character, whichtranscends all our ordinary concep¬tions of real possibilities.’“Further, the population limit isre.stricted also by peculiarities ofthe human character which may findtheir expression in what we maybriefly call national egoisms. Themaximum of 10 or 11 billions can,(Continued on page 4) “Population Problems and theStandard of LivingThe problem of ovei’populationmust inevitably lead to social re¬construction because the economicpressure will force an improvementof the quality of the race and putthe world’s social organization ona sounder basis. Professor ShiroshiNasu of the Tokyo Imperial Uni¬versity said Tuesday afternoon. TheJapanese ecjimomiiit, foremost au¬thority on his country’s own popula¬tion problem was the second lec¬turer at the annual Institute of theHarris Memorial Foundation.Overpopulation exists only whenthere are more people than can besupported by a given society without lowering the average standardof living of the masses^'cording toProf. Nasu. What he termed a “sec¬ondary overpopulation” comes intoeistence w'hen a group desiring tomigrate to share in the higher stand¬ard of another country is preventedfrom so doing by restrictions on im¬migration. Such overpopulation canhe solved only by international co-I operation, Prof. Nasu said.“In any progressive nation thestandard of living of its people mustbe going up,” said Prof. Nasu. “Astandard of living refers not only tomaterial but spiritual development,and the aspiration of every nation toraise its standard is therefore a rea¬sonable one. When the standard ismerely retarded in its upward ten¬dency, for reasons supposed to bedue to the increase of population,then the people will be dissatisfied,and will begin to feel the pressureof population.“Many western nations show thatj when the standard of living attains j' a certain height, usually there oc- !I curs a tendency among people to !restrict the number of children in ;order to maintain this standard of jliving both for themselves and theirchildren. As a result, the birth ratebecomes lower where people live ona high standard of living. Thus,when the pressure of population be-1 gins to be felt, one of the cures isto find means of raising the standardI of living. International economic; cooperation conducive to this end isj suggested as one of the measures,i “Because of the fact that when thestandard of living becomes higher' the birth rate tends to become low-i er, the children of the upper classes(Continued on page 4) Arrangements have been con¬cluded by “The Maroon” with theWhite City Amusement Park, where¬by a distribution of passes permit¬ting free admission and rides willbe effected among the students atthe University during the summerquarter.This privilege is reserved exclu¬sively for patrons of “The Maroon.” iAccording to the agreement any stu¬dent presenting two coupons of thetype printed in this issue will re- ^ceive in exchange one compliment¬ary ticket.

JUNE 20. 1929THE WORLD FUTURE(Continued from page 2)of course, be attained only with thefreest possible migration. The Unit¬ed States .as all other countries,would have to open the grates to allnations of the world; she would haveto accept her due share of the 10 or11 billions, say 800 millions. Shewould have to forget everythingabout the national origrins clause;she w’ould have to welcome a hun¬dred million or more immigrrantswithout the slightest discriminationon account of color, race, standardof living.“If, on the other hand, the peopleof the United States and of someother countries which are compara¬tively underpopulated go on to re¬strict immigration as they do, it ishard to see how the earth—even al¬lowing for every conceivable advancein science and technique—could pos¬sibly double its present population.‘The worlds population cannot fora long time grow at the same rateas it seems to have grown from 1920to 1926. If the increase does notslow down, the inhabitants of theovercrowded countries in a near fu¬ture will have to claim the right ofoccupation of the less densely set¬tled territories, and if the peopleof those territories resist and tryto maintain their immigration re¬strictions, war becomes unavoidable.”Despite insufficient data as to birthrates, population, and age groupsfor the world, there eists a basis topredict a slowing down of the rate increase, according to Prof. Kczin-ski. A study just completed by theInstitute of Economics of the Brook¬ings Institution in Washington cov¬ering Great Britain and Ireland,France, Belgium, Holland, Switzer¬land, Germany, Denmark, Norway,Sweden, and Finland, which has 10or 11 per cent of the earths popula¬tion indicated that fertility is al¬ready so low that not only does thepopulation no longer reproducer it¬self but has virtual deficit of about7 per cent.“The population of Western andNorthern Europe is increasing be¬cause the proportion of women ofchild-bearing age is particularlylow,” the lecturer said. “The num¬ber of old persons is comparativelylow because the generation bom inthe fifties and sixties was consider¬ably reduced by a high infant mor¬tality and by emigrration; the num¬ber of young children is compara¬tively low because the number ofbirths has considerably declined.“As the number of persons be¬tween 15 and 50 grow older andswell the age groups where deathclaims most victims, while there arenot sufficient children to fill up thegroup which contributes most toreproduction, the rate of increase isbound to decline and to make placebefore long to an actual decrease.“Even without having accuratedata at our disposal for all the coun¬tries involved, we may then at leastsay this much, namely that the pop¬ulation of Western and NorthernEurope. North America, and Aus-:ralia combined no longer reproduceKIMBARK HAND LAUNDRY1324 East 57th Plaza 3480For Quality, Service and Popular PricesCASH AND CARRY PRICESShirts 16c B.V.D 12cCollars 4c Socks 6cUnion Suits 16c Handerchiefs 2|/2CMending Free themselves. If their population inthe future remains stable instead ofincreasing, and if in all other coun¬tries the population increases at therate which apparently prevailedfrom 1920 to 1926, mankind willdouble in 150 instead of 110 years.“So we reach the conclusion thatif fertility and mortality remainwhat they are, it will take man¬kind more, and possibly much more,than 160 years to double its num¬bers. In the meantime, the racecomposition of the world, and espe¬cially of Europe, would have consid¬erably changed, since the Anglo-Saxons, Germans, Scandinavians, andFrench no longer reproduce them¬selves, while the Slavs still have anenormous genuine growth. This isnothing new, for the Slavic popula¬tion of Europe for a long time hasincreased much more than the Teu¬tonic and the Teutonic much more-than the Romance.“Once the countries which theTeutonic and Romance races inhabitbecome dependent upon immigrationin order to keep up population, theSlavs will flock in. They will comebecause they will find opportunities|iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiyiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiinI CO WHEY’SI 1001-03 East 55lh 5 to work at fair wages and they willbe welcome because no nation wantsdeserted farms, closed factories, va¬cant houses, less tax-payers.“Mortality in the future in alllikelihood will decline, but the re¬duction in those ages which are theonly decisive ones for reproductioncannot be very great after ail thathas already been accomplished. Fer¬tility might increase again, andthere are people who predict thatsuch an increase will occur with in¬creasing prosperity. But an increaseof prosperity so far as a rule hasnot resulted in an increase of fer¬tility.“A great deal will depend uponwhether considerable advance of thebirth control movement in the Eastwill accompany its practicaly uni¬versal acceptance in Europe andNorth America. If by any chancethe movement in the East shouldbe delayed, the Mongolian racerace might find birth restriction notparticularly urgent, because therewould be outside of its own coun¬tries vacant territories in which tosettle.”IIIHWIWIilHIIIIIIIIilllHIIIIIIIIIIIIHIilllliHimillll^MEN*S IWEAR IShirt I$1.45 to $5.00 IIUnderwear |50c to $3.00 jStraw Hats I$1.95 to $6.00 IMEN shop!treet, at Ellis Avenue 1MPniiiiiiiiHiiiiiiniiiiiiniiiiiiMifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniimH POPULATION PROBLEMSAND THE STANDARDOF UVING(Continued from page 2)will gradually diminish in numberwhie those of the lower classes willwill continue to increase and thusbecome a larger proportion of thesucceeding generation. This maymean a diminishing influence of theupper class, until, if continued, thisclass becomes virtually negligible.Of course, it is debatable whetherthe prevailing social distinction be¬tween the upper and lower classescorrectly reflects the difference inthe intelligence or character of thepeople.“Today there is not only( too higha birth rate among the lower classes,but also its inevitable consequences,!a very high death rate. By raisingthe standard of living of the lowerclasses much of this suffering andwaste will be obviated. This argu¬ment makes it clear that a moreequitable distribution of wealth is desirable either from the point ofview of improving the quality of therace, or from the point of view ofputting our social economy on amuch sounder basis. Our present cap¬italistic regime is not only produc¬ing many unemployed, thus givingrise to the problem of population,but it is conducive to deteriorationin the quality of the population, orat least has a retarding influenceupon movements to improve our hu¬man stock.“In the clash of interests betweenpeoples who desire to raise theirstandards of living by migrating toa country where the standar 1 ishigher and the opposition of thosew'ho do not desire to admit others toshare their advantages, internation¬al resentment and friction is likely.To regrulate migration satisfactorily,some sort of international agreementmust be worked out. It is a ques¬tion whether .sane reason will get theupperhand of blind passions in de¬termining the course of humanity.TYPEWRITERSSPECIALS TO SUMMER STUDENTSAll makes for rent, $8.00 for entire quarterShorter Periods Are Priced AccordinglyHigh Grade Ribbons. . . .65c Carbon, per box. . . . $1.50LOOK AT THESE PRICES! ! ! !ROYAL PORTABLES, never used '. .$48.00CORONA PORTABLE $35.00OTHER PORTABLES, new and used $15.00 upSTANDARD UNDERWOOD $28.00L.
