 The condition revealed by Dr. HoUar rd'S researches is sad one Our maternal death rates, he says, whether view in comparison with the rates for England and Wales, or con sidered alone, are appaIlngiy h1Sn They are probably unparalleled in modern times in a clvlllzed country.

The death rate was Ss.4S ner 10000 births To match this rate in comparison with Sweden and with England and Wales it is neces- sary to go back a century In SWe- den in 1S06-1S1O the rate was as bad as ours in 191S,-it was S9 per 10, 00o births Our rate is more than dou- hie the Swedish rate for 1S51-1S5a, 75 per cent greater than the average rate for England and Wales for
 
 births) and 120 per cent. greater than the average rate for the latte: area for 1911-1e15 (40.31 per 10000 living births)".
 The chief cause of death (27.S per cent of all the childbed deaths) is puerperal fever, which is almost all ways preventable by proper obstetri- cal care. It is we'll known that far too few physicians in this country have had adequate obSterical training and that many midwives have had little or none. pr. Howard says: of all important branches of the art. that of obstetrics is per hapS at once the most neglected and the most important"
 In this matter, as in many others, an intelligent demand will create supply. Better maternity care will come throughout this country when women-and their husbands-are ed ucated 70 demand it. Extension of county and state systems of public health nursing. establishment Of consultation centerS where pregnant women can go for advice and inStruc- ton in the hygiene of maternity, and insistence on the need for skilled me dical care in confinement,-an these things will help.
