"PTenatal Care" Is the title of a
monograph Just issued by the Chill

Labor. 1t is the first of a series of
bulletins to be issued by the bureau
on the care of children. The reasons
for ita publication are set forth 10y

which the following statement Is sig
nficant
The latest reports Of the Bureau of
the Census on mortality statistics
show that slightly more than AZ per
cent OF the infants dying under year
Of age in the registration area IN 1911
did not live Ia complete the first
month of life and that of this ~ per
cent almost seven tenths died as "A
result of conditions existing before
they We're born or of injury and acct
dent at birth. OF those that lived less
than one week about SO per cent died
of such causes and of the number that
lived less than one day about "a per
cent died of these causes
Thus the Children's Bureau was
drawn inevitably To begin its contem-
plated series of monographs on the
care Of children by statement re-
garding prenatal care for mother and
child.
The preparation of such statement
has been requested by the National
Congress of Mothers and by members
of other representative bodies of wo-
men. II has been written by Mrs.
Max West, of the staff of the bureau,
from the standpoint of a woman who
has university training. experience in
government research. and who is her
self the mother OF Il family Of young
children. II has been prepared after
careful study of the literature of the
subject. II has been read and criti-
ciZcd 10y large number of well known
ply sicians and nurses and by many
mothers. To mention by name all
those To whom the bureau is indebted
for valuable aid in it's preparation

Having a peculiar growth on his
