u. S. BIRTH AREAS
REGISTRATION NOW ACCEPTED,
WHILE IN 1918 THE CENSUS
CHECK SHOWED THE STATE
WAS VERY DEFICIENT IN RE.
coRplNo RECORDS.

Springfield. H., Nov. o5.--It has
been announced from Washington
that Illinois has at last been adj.
mifted TO the United States registra.
tion area for births. The records OF
births reported to the state depart
ment Of public health checked up by
the United States census In 1918, when
1t was found that birth registration
was so defincient that the test was
speedily discontinued; that so little
attention had been given to this i'm
portant matter that Illinois could not
hope to be given rating of any kind.
In fact. the state was known to be
so backward In this movement that
address:
THE registration of births is vital
We have the standard law. 1t Is es.
sential to the legal and health inter
ests of our new born. 1t prevents
much blindness, aids the feeding and
motherlng of babes. help future citi.
zenship, and facilitates such rights as
are involved In the inheritance of
property, securing working age GER
t.hcates and travelling unmolested In
foreign lands"
Early In the administration OF Gov
ernor Small. DR.. Isaac D.. Rawlings
was appointed to the responsible posi-.
tion of director of public health. He
had long been associated with the
Chicago health department, and at a
farewell banquet rendered him in
March, 1921, he called attention to the
urgent necessity of birth registra
ton campaign in Illinois and prom
ised 1t as one of the important acti VI
ties Of his proposed program. Later,
In the midst OF the campaign, he
asked for the cooperation of local
registrars and health officers, county
medical societies. federated and other
women's clubs, parent-teachers' asso-
tiations, school authorities and par
ents throughout the state. BY the end
OF 1921 Illinois had attained a birth
registration of SO per cent, and the
movement was gaining momentum
daily SO that the campaign of 1922
was, launched with renewed vigor
More than thirty county medical So
cietfes passed resolutions or indi !
Gated the willingness Of their men,
bers to report all births. The re-
suits Of this intensive campaign was
so apparent that the director invited |
the United States census office to be-
gin an investigation this fall of the
completeness of birth registration in
this state. The announcement that
the test is complete and that Illinois
has made the grade is source of
great satisfaction, not only to the
state department of public health but
Id health and other circles through
out the. state and union. The entire |
region east Of the Mississippi river
and north of the Ohio river is now
embraced In the United States regis
trAtion area.
The mere fact that Illinois has been
admitted to the registration area with |
q rating we'll over 80 per cent does
not mean that the work Is ended.
To retain its position the work in Illi-
nois must go on with undated zeal.
We must strive for the goal of per-
feet registration. The same agencies
which placed Illinois on the health
map Of the nation must work untiring-
ly to keep 1t there.
