Birth Rate Decline Seen As British National Peril
Sir Robert Blair, ex chief education officer of the London County Council, warns at a Manchester conference that England faces a birth rate decline as a national peril. He predicts about 2,000,000 fewer workers by 1932, noting a loss of 100,000 children annually from each age group and a budget reflecting fewer pupils than 14 years ago. War years partly explain the current drop, say health officials.
