HERE'S OUR WEAKNESS
We Seem to Have no Way to En-
force Registration of Births.

A county officer who gives cOnsid-
cradle thought and attention to the
duties of his office, says: I'VE ar
especially lame, as far as vital sta
tistics are concerned. The returns of
the deaths are fairly accurate and re.
liable, ! presume. They are all right
for purposes of comparison. But the
main trouble is, that there is not
much to compare with.
I'VE have u law that provides for
registration of the births, but practi-
cally everybody ignores the law. We
have frequently made an effort to
secure the enforcement of this law,
but where there is no public senti-
ment, and no special inducement,
there is always considerably Difficult.

though it be a small one, makes it an
object to the people directly interest

is done here, | do not believe that we

minds of many people, that our birth

people, who have given this matter
close attention, believe that our birth
rate Is behind tho death rate. and
that we should be losing population
