BIG INCREASE IN BABIES.
One Is Born Every Five Minutes In
 Manhattan-Causes Consternation.

New York, September A.-There is con- sternation among the members of the board of education over the assertion In a report of Commissioner of Education Haupt that the average rate of increase in the number of babies in Manhattan has grown from five to eleven an hour, or one baby every five minutes
 These figures were furnished by Dr. Haupt as the result of an investigation which the board of education is carry ing on to find out what preparation 1t must make to provide room which the babies of the present will need as the pupils of few years hence.
 Dr. Haupt also states that he finds the death rate for children is falling from one-third to one-tenth, owing to meas ures for protecting babies from impure milk and unsanitary arrangements. He believes that in the main the increase is caused by the tremendous immigration to New York city.
 Dr. Haupt asserts that babies are born at the rate of one every four minutes in the neighborhood of Houston street and about one month in the Murray Hill residence section. These two quarters are the extremes of the social divisions
