The age composition of Indiana's population by 1960 will be [fai different from that of today and will raise two major problems for society, study by the State issued today changes,

The birth rate opped airly consistently since en until in 1933 the rate was 17.2 births per 1000 population. While the decline in the birth rate has tended to retard the rate of natural increase in the population, the decline of the death rate has somewhat offset this loss. The death rate declined from 14.1 deaths per 1000 population in 1900 to 11 per 1000 in 1938 Rate Data
