Williams, James M. _An American Town: A Sociological Study_ (New York,
1906).
Primarily an analysis of an American community from a
socio-psychological standpoint. Contains some interesting facts on
growth and distribution of population. (III, 5; V, 1, 2, 3; IX, 1,
3.)
Winter, Max. _Im unterirdischen Wien_, Vol. XIII in “Grossstadt
Dokumente” (Berlin, 1905).
A description of Vienna, showing the processes of segregation,
allocation, and communication at work in the city population. (V, 1;
VI, 4, 6; VII, 5; IX, 3, 4.)
3. During the latter part of the nineteenth century the expressions,
“the flight from the country,” and “the drift to the city” began to be
heard. The rapid increase in population of the cities was found to be
due not to natural increase, i.e., excess of births over deaths, but to
migration from the surrounding rural area. In America the rapid increase
in the size of the cities was due chiefly to an increasing stream of
European immigrants who avoided the farm but were attracted to the urban
environment. Population statisticians have been alert to discover
whether this process is continuing or whether a change is taking place.
Improvements in rural life and conscious efforts to control the movement
of population have been observed as to their possible effect on the
rural-urban population equilibrium.
