Decreased Birth-rate in Italy,

According to statistics published last month in Rome, there are 50,473,000 Italians in the world. Of these, 41,173,000 are living in Italy and 9,300,000 abroad. Al though this population of over 41,000,000 is said to be, after the German and British populations, the most important unit, nationally and politically, in Europe, there is Bome anxiety as to the future. It is pointed out that during the first five months of this year there were

99,000 fewer births than were re

gistered during the same period last year, whereas the number of deaths was greater by over 68,000. Thus, so far, the effective increase in the population this year has been only 122,630, as against 209,055. Stress is laid on the necessity of continu- ing the demographic battle, lest the decadence which has been manifest- ed in France should overtake Italy.

A Blind College Crew.

Recently, for the 5rst time, Worcester College, the public school for the blind, made their first ap- pearance on the tideway in a rac- ing eight. During and since the war they have several times met St. Dunstan's and Emmanuel School, Wandsworth, in tub fours, but this is the first time that they have felt themselves strong enough to try an ordinary shell eight in a London race-a remarkable achie- vement for a school of only fifty boys. Though virtually all the boys row and swim-the only sports in which they can reach a competi- tive standardthey have, of course, to bring in their cox from outside. For their race against Westminster School second eight Worcester Roy. al Grammar School kindly lent them a most efficient one. Unfort unately the race was not a very successful first venture, though.. Worcester's failure" was in large measure explained by the 'weather conditions. Although they got away well and soon established a
