Huddersfeld, England, one of the
great manufacturing towns of York
shire, which has population Of about
one hundred thousand, made record
during the week ending April 3, when
there was no death of an infant less
than a year old, although, by the aver
age infant mortality throughout Eng
land, there should have been twelve
deaths. 1t is explained that in 1904
the mayor took up the question of the
needless loss of infant life, and, with
the cooperation of his medical officer
of health, made it his business to see
that mothers were told how to care for
their little ones. The mayor offered a
prize of Eve dollars to every Hudders
field woman who could show him her
baby, alive and well, at the end of its
first year. He still offers the prize. A
very low rate of infant mortality has
ruled there ever since. Perhaps the
prize did not materially assist to bring
it about, but the hygienic teaching
surely did.
