and Women by Paul W. Monahan of the U. of
M, assistant State Leader of the Clubs. who
took the place of Dean L. S. Merrill. who was

much the business Of dollars and cents as of
right living and good education; not merely of
books. but of spirit to become the best of citi-
zens and good home makers; learning to apply
what they had learned in all branches Of life.

In addition to their eugenic value, these cur
rent records have many other values. (The
speaker called attention to these in some de-
tail)
Before leaving the subject of these modern
Vital Records, a word may be said as to the
method of collecting and filing them. The law
requires physicians to make returns; parents
and householders also must report to their
town clerks all births and deaths which occur
in their families or houses. These the town
clerk in turn sends, together with records of
marriages reported by clergymen, to the State
House. The method of treating and filing
these varies in different States; very elabo-
rate system prevailing in Massachusetts,, while
in Maine the original cards themselves, as
copied by the clerk from his records, are filed
alphabetically and kept for reference.
In Massachusetts the Department of Vital
Statistics has charge of the records. while in
Maine they are placed under the jurisdiction
of the Board Of Health. As it is by the Board
of Health that these records are for the most
part used for statistical purposes. it is perhaps
most fitting that they should come under its
jurisdiction.
1t is to the records prior to the time when
returns were made to the State House that
would now call your attention. /. e., to the
Ancient Records. The very complete system
at present in operation for collecting the mod
ern records is of comparatively recent origin:
And the older records, owing to the fact that
no copies Of them were filed at the State House
or elsewhere, are in constant danger of being
destroyed by fire or otherwise lost. These are
