OFFSPRING OF ALIEN
PARENTS HARDEST
Figures Show More Deaths
Among Native Population.

New York.-Children under five
years old who are born in this city of
native parents die more quickly than
children whose parents are foreigners.
according to figures for 1914 made pub
lie recently by the health department.
The compilation, which was made I'M
der the direction of DR.. William III.
Guilfoy, registrar of records, shows
that out of every 1000 children of ma
tive white parentage %forty-four boys
and thirty-five girls do not reach their
fifth year, whereas on the same basis
thirty-nile boys and thirty-two girls
who are the offspring of foreigners die
in early childhood.
The infant mortality figures for the
native population are swellcd to a
greater disproportion when the rec
ords for negro children are considered.
Among this class 112 male babies and
ninety-tive female die out OF every
1000. Added to the statistics for
whites, these figures give an average
of seventy-eight boys and ~sixty-five
girls.
In the opinion Of DR.. Charles II. Boil
duan, director of the bureau Of public
health education, the foreign mother
is more apt to remain at home and
look after her child than the native
mother, who is called away by il great
er number OF social duties. Although
the native mother can read magazines
which treat Of the proper upbringing
of children, DR.. Bolduan pointed out
that the health authorities come into
more personal contact with the for
eign mothers.
The mortality among native white
children, arranged according to tie
birthplace OF the mother, gave the fol-
lowing results: Native mothers. 80 per
1000; English, &c; German and Austro-
Hungarian. %; Swedish, ~; Russian
and Polish, 20: Irish. 80; italian. 80
and French, 80.
Among the babes Of negro parents
the only disease group that approxi-
mated the figures for white native chill
dren was that Of the contagious dis
eases. All their causes of death. espe-
ciaily the respiratory. tuberculous and
congenital, exhibited a mortality much
higher than among the whites.
