Age In Arizona
TUCSON, May 14-(UP) -Youth is gaining on age in Arizona.
While national trends show an increase in the number of old persons, the opposite is true in Arizona, Dr. E. L. Larson, professor of education at the University of Arizona reported.
Additionally, the state is showing increasing feminine influence as judged by population figures. Between 1900 and 1930, the proportion of males to women changed from 140 to 100 to 119 to 100.
The change in the proportion of the sexes indicates emergence from frontier conditions, Larson said. He said state school attendance records showed the state population included a large number of transients.
Enrollment in the second grade of Arizona elementary schools is only 60 per cent of first grade enrollment, he said, indicating the state has a large transient population.
