Lesson to Be Learned.

"According to the United States census, the population in California cities of Over one hundred thousand people has increased, in the decade from 1900 to 1910, from 30 to 37.3 per cent. The population in districts outside of cities of ten thousand and over has decreased from 56.9 per cent, in 1900, to 46.7 per cent, in 1910. Most of this decrease of the percentage of 1 population of agricultural districts has gone to the big cities of over one hundred thousand. • This clearly shows the prevailing tendency. It also shows the grave' necessity for building cities that are fit places for the permanent housing of the larger part of the population.
