Were the Children Named ?

Fifty.six children born in Brunswick,
Maine, during 1917 have never been nam
ed according TO the books Of the town
clerk. In recent issue of the Bruins
wick Record the editor calls attention to
the fact that the births of only 120 out
OF 176 children born in 1917 were proper
~ recorded. 'In years to come more
than one of these SO children will need q
certificate of birth, but unfortunately IL
will be impossible for the town clerk to
furnish It."
Brunswick is not alone in the failure
of many parents and physicians to at
tend to the records of birth, says the
State Department of Health in Its week
~ statement. Everywhere the careless
ness 10 evident and must be guarded
against. During one year, the Philadel-
phia Bureau of Vital Statistics received
daily an average of forty requests for
copies of birth certificates, the majority
of which could not be granted because
the births were never recorded. The
birth certificate is of vital importance to
the child who may some time be called
upon to prove bis age. Estates have
been forfeited, the right 10 work at q
certain age has been taken away, all
proof of citizenship has often been lost
because the simple act of recording birth
was neglected.
