Vital Statistics
Are Compile
ted
Record for Twelve Months
Tabulated For Annual Re-
port of State of Health.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 3.-As
part of its report for the fiscal
year ending yesterday, / h @
State Board of Health will soon
forward TO Governor Mann the
first twelve months vital sta
tistics ever compiled in Virgin
in in accordance with the stan
dard set by the United States
Census.
Operating under the | aw
passed by the General Assem-
bly, in 1912, the Board began
tho collection of birth and death
records in July, 1912, and has
now completed and filed the
records for fourteen months,
twelve OF which have been tab
ulated.
Prior to 1898, it is pointed out,
births and deaths were roughly
reported by commissioners Of
revenue as part of their an
nual return to the Auditor.
These reports, which were re-
Gently transferred by the Audi
tor to the State Library, are on
long folios and are not accom-.
panied by any medical certili-
cate rs to the cause of death.
Incomplete as these reports are,
they furnish the only records
from 1860 to 1898. From 1898
to 1912 the State has no records
of any sort relating to births
and deaths, beyond tho certiii
Gates kept in few of the cities
and in one or two counties.
While the Board has not vet
given out the detailed state
ment of the number OF births
and deaths and the number of
deaths from preventable di-
sease, it is understood that the
showing for the year is regard
ed as most satisfactory and
that health officers are encour
aged to believe that within an
other twelve months at least 30
per cent of all vital statistics
will be duly filed for safekeep-
ing in the archives of the State.
1t is announced that the most
striking fact disclosed by the
tables prepared for its annual
report by the Board, is the
marked difference between the
registration in the counties and
in the cities. In rural Virgin
in, the return of births, while
not complete, is relatively full
in the cities hundreds of births
among the colorcd population
are not reported On the other
hand, tn q death certificates
forwarded by city health Off.
GERS include particaily every
death that occurs.
1.-THE statistics To be included
in our report" said an officer
of the Board today, twill not
of course be given out until
they have been presented &c
THE Governor. AS soon as the
A'R pr 10 itildotu lOI fuOlitd
lion, however, we expect its
statistics will b e of extre me
interest to the public. Some oil
the statistics are alarming il
the extreme and snow a heavy
mortality from diseases that W,
did not think had assumed suct
serious proportions. But tn,
mortality rate for some other
communicable diseases is mos
encouraging.
"Too much praise cannot b,
given the local registrars o
births and deaths, for withou
their cooperation and enthusi
astic support we could not nav,

titicates now on file. The as
sistant registrar of vital stats
