REGISTRY OF BIRTHS.
Legislature will be Asked to
Enact a New Law to Replace
the Present One.

Reports from lansing are to the
effect that an attempt will probably
be made this winter to induce the
legislature to supplant the present
antiuuated and thoroughly unre
liable system of registering births
by better system. The authorities
estimate that at present from one
half to one-third of the births that
occur in this state entirely escape
registration. Many requests are re-
ceivcd by the secretary OF state for
searches of births known to have oc.
Cured in Michigan, but failing to
find them on record, that official is
unable to make any reply further
than the very unsatisfactory one
that the supervisor or assessor
failed to perform his duty in the
year in question and did not en-
umeratc births as required by law.
Chief Wilbur, of the division of
vital statistics, reports peculiarly
fragrant case Of this kind that was
recently brought to the attention Of
the department. Two Italian
families residing in Lansing made
application for certified copies of
the records of the birth Of four
children, two occurring in Battle
Creek and two in Lansing. The
births were duly attested by the
parochial records Of the Catholic
parishes in which they occurred, but
the official state certificates were
desired in order to have the records
available for legal purposes in Italy
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1900-12-01

European governments are much
stricter in these matters than our
own, and serious loss sometimes re-
suits TO individuals from failure to
produce proper certificate OF a
birth, marriage or death. On care
full examination only one OF these
four births were found in the state
records, three having entirely es-
capped registration through the
negligence OF the local officials.
Chief Wilbur says that while a
certain amount of blame belongs to
the supervisors and assessors for
failure to thoroughly perform their
duties under the law providing for
the enumeration of births, the entire
burden Of discredt for the imper-
feet results attained cannot be
placed upon them. The law, he
says, is organically defective, and
should be supplanted by better
one just as soon as it is apparent
that such law will be sustained by
the general sentiment Of the people.
II would be foil ~ to ask for stringent
methods which could not be prac
ii ALLY enforced. The problem Is u
difficult one in practice, since not
single city or state in this country
has yet obtained thoroughlyCac-
curate returns Of births. As a pre-
liminary TO the effective operation
Of such law, complete registry
Of physicians and mid wives will be
necessary, with provision for the
summary revocation OF licenses FOR
! any failure 10 report. The general
outlines of the present efficient SER
vice for the registration Of deaths
should be followed and accurate re-
turns could bc secured, providing
the people of the state really want
them.

which was still in manuscript, he said:

Not long afterward | received a
letter from my friend, in which he told
me that when he handed the music
to List the latter looked at the manu-
script, hummed it over, then sat down
and played it from memory. Then,
going to his desk, he took a pen and
accepted the dedication by writing his
name at the top of the title page.
