Of Health. These facts show that
the situation in regard to birth regi-
stration is not satisfactory. Della
ware is not in the birth registration
area" Of the United States, which
means that her birth reporting is
not yet considered accurate enough
to permit the Government to feel
that Delaware registers even 90 per
cent. of her births Aside from the
question Of State pride in the matter,
the failure to be in the birth regi-
stration area has serious practical
disadvantages for Delaware chill
dren. As pointed out above, il
means that the health service Of the
Child Welfare Commission fails to
reach some babies that need it badly
1t also means that all questions de-
pending for settlement upon proof Of
age are made difficult in cases OF
persons of unregistered birth, since
proof Of age is necessary to deter
mine the legal right Of minors to en-
ployment certificates, to marry, 10
inherit. to serve in the Army and
Navy, for passports, etc.
The Child Welfare Commission
urges all parents to make sure that
their babies births are reported both
by post card and by birth certificates
since the first method means an
early call from a Child Welfare
nurse and the birth certificate is the
protection of an individual in mat
ters where exact knowledge of age
is necessary. Special care should
be taken that post cards and certi-
hcates are filled in very clearly
Many are turned in that are almost
or entirely illegible.

Be Sure Ba6yS
Birth Is Reported
By MRS. INA j. N. PERKINS
Director of the Child Welfare Commission

The Child Welfare Commission
aims to reach every newly born baby
in the State. That this is neces-
sary IL it is to save all possible lives
is evident from the fact that a large
percentage Of baby deaths could be
prevented by proper early care.
Consequently the commission has
established a very careful system to
get in touch promptly with newborns.
BY the cordial cooperation of the
State and Wilmington Boards of
Health a plan has been arranged
whereby those boards promptly fur
nish the Child Welfare Commission
with notice Of all births reported to
them. AS the law requires birth
attendants to send a post card no.
tice OF every birth to the State Board
of Health within twenty-four hours
of the birth It is not long before the
Child Welfare Commission hears Of
all babies whose births are so re-
ported. Unfortunately, however,
quite a percentage of birth attend
ants either do not report births by
post card or do not do so promptly.
This actually means loss of life in
some cases as there are too many
babies who die in the first few days
or months OF life who could be saved
by being in touch with proper care.
With the system that the Child We'll
fare Commission has of sending a
nurse promptly to the home OF each
newborn reported to il, the hazard
of babyhood is being reduced. If
the nurse finds her help is not need
ed she only pays respects 20 the
mother and baby on behalf Of the
State. However, IL she finds a home
where her assistance and advice are
needed she is ready with both, TO
work under the attending physician
and TO start the mother in a knowl-
edge of mothercraft In addition
TO the post card report of birth the
/ law requires that a certificate of
birth shall be made out by the ply
sician. midwife, or other person hav-
ing knowledge OF the birth and sent
to the local registrar within ten days
OF the baby's birth. The commits
sion observes that some Wilmington
births are reported only by post card
and some only by birth certificate
and from It's nurses II sometimes
learns OF births that are not on eth
er list. Rural nurses of the COM
mission also hear Of some births that
are not reported 10 the State Board
