INFANT MORTALITY.

MISS JULIA LATHROP, Of the Ma
donal Children's Bureau, recently
told the members Of the Collegiate
Alumnae that the first work Of the bureau
is 20 be an inquiry about infant mortality,
going largely into the matter Of registra-
tons.
Infant mortality" she said. ''is tech
nical thing; il means the loss Of life Of in
fants who have not yet attained the age
OF one year And all over the civilized
world infant mortality has come 10 be
regarded as a very strange phenomenon
which we have overlooked We have
found adult life safer and are continually
inventing means 10 make il so, but by sta
tistics we find that the life Of a baby is no
safer than il was a hundred years ago.
Great Britain loses 100000 babies every
year. We do not know how many are lost
in America, because we do not know how
many are born. We cannot tell until we
put down on the lists the birth Of every
one Of these children. There are a few
parts Of the country in which il is done
approximately. and from this approximate
registration we made a guess, and from
the children who die, whose deaths are re-
corded far more accurately than their
births. we make an estimate and we find
that at least 100000 babies not yet a year
old die every year II that estimate be al
all true every ten years we lose enough
little lives 10 make, if they could come to-
10 "a
take it for granted that some Of US must
die, that Providence has arranged il that
the weakest should go first so that the
strongest might get along better; there
were plenty of children and this is just a
natural wedding out But the great stu
dents of human life say this is not true.
