The population problem is a subject of the greatest importance to every country. The Government of this country has quite recently appointed a Commission to inquire into the level and trend of Population, with a special reference to Emigration, and some members of this Society are serving on the Commission?one of our Honorary Secretaries is Chairman of the Commission. In the Reports on the Censuses of Population it is stated that this is a country of late marriages but of high fertility, notwithstanding which we are fast becoming a country of elderly people.
