We must not get into the way of thinking of our great country as an elderly man who is told by his doctor that if he is very careful of his diet, and avoids all exertion and worry, he may look forward to some years of placid life before he dies.

POPULATION

EANWHILE the population of the world is increasing by one percent. a year.

Its distribuflon is such as to make it extremely doubtful whether the supply of food can keep pace even with the present low standard of nutrition.

It is the advance of science that has made this possible.. War, pes- tilence, and famine have kept the

population within bounds since the dawn of history. War has ceased to be effective; pestilence is rapidly losing its power; only famine left as a brake until education' takes its place.
