Detroit Needs a
Maternity Hospital

The case of Mrs. Szumansk, midwife,
recalls an editorial in the Times last
June urging the city of Detroit to take
more stringent measures in regard TO
the practice of midwifery in this city.
1t was pointed out at that time, that
. large number of infants deaths and
much harm to the mother was due TO
the ineffciency of these women and
especially was the subject of blindness
noted, 30 per cent of which is said to be
due to the carelessness of the midwife in
not properly caring for the eyes of the
new born infant.
tt was also suggested that an exam
nation much more stringent than that
required should be passed by them and
that school of midwifery should be ac-
cessory to the Medical college or one of
the hospitals. This is in operation IN
Bellevue, New York, and is very success
full.
Foreign women are accusomed to en-
ploying midwives instead of doctors, the
cost being so much less, and European
countries are very strict regarding the
giving of licenses for this practice. The
immigrant coming to America natur-
ally takes it for granted that the same
care is exercised here.
Whereas the requirements of the last
book we have seen (1914) published by
the Detroit Board Of Health are merely
that the woman shall be of certain age,
shall be clean and shall have cared for
20 women at the lying-in period
This is, of course, very inadequate and
leaves plenty of room for the midwife
to get out of any unpleasant conse-
uuences resulting from her acts or care
lessness.
The city of Detroit needs, of all things
maternity hospital where a poor wo'
man may be confined in sanitary sur
roundings, receive proper care and be
reasonably sure of a normal baby and
recovery for herself at price within hei
means.
Now she is obliged to stay in her own
home, no matter how crowded, poor or
unsanitary it may be, and trust herself
and her child in hands of an unskilled
woman who may not even know the
rudiments of the profession.
1t is high time that the health depart
ment of the city investigated this i'm
portant matter.

There is no other way for people to
live and the earth owners controlling
the opportunities charge such exor-
bitant toll for the use of the earth
that poverty, failure, crime and dis
tress are the certain results.
The toll is the necessary result Of
the monOpoIzatiOn of the earth. The
monopoly is necessary for the best
use of the earth, but it's evils can be
eliminated by taking the toll from the
earth owners and putting it into the
public treasury, to be expended for
the things that will benefit all the
people. Then it will not be necessary
to tax the workers at all and the
game would be so free and equal and

THE PUBLIC FORUM

HE FObLlO FONOM
INEQUALITY.-In every phase of
human life that involves the element
of competition there seems to have
been an effort made to establish
something approaching, at least, to
conditions of equality This should
be qualified by excepting that phase
of human life that goes to the very
existence of life itself-the chance of
earning a living.
In a horse race where there is
known to be a material difference
between the speed of the competitors
the more speedy ones are given
handicap which tends to equalize the
chances of the other competitors to
win. In every game where there is
known to be a decided difference in
the skill of the contestants every pre-
caution is taken to egualize the OPP
portUnities of the players.
But in the game of life, which must
be played whether we like it or not,
95 per cent of the players come into
the game with the disadvantage of
having to pay to the owners of the
field where the game must be played
such a large percentage of their earn
ings that defeat and failure comes to
80 per cent of them.
The law makes no effort to equal
ize the opportunities of the players.
1t makes feeble effort to ameIiorate
the sUfferings of the defeated and
disabled victims of the vicious I'M
equal conditions that govern the
game by establishing hospitals and
pOOrhOUses and other forms of state
relief. And this inadequate relief is
paid by the victims of the system,
who are taxed by the state to the
limit upon everything they consume
to make themselves comfortable. And
the owners of the field where the
game must be played tax them again
