EFFORTS BEING MADE TO
LOWER INFANT MORTALITY
1885 Babies Have Better Chance
To Survive Than In 1915

Babies who select Maryland as a
place of residence nowadays, have a
much better chance of surviving the
hazards of infancy and early child
hood than their predecessors of twenty
years ago enjoyed. The Bureau of Vi
tai Statistics of the State Department
of Health is the official custodian for
the State of Maryland of the records
of arrival of incoming young citizens
and also of departure of all outgoing
ones-whatever the age may be. Re
ports recently prepared under the d.
rection of DIR. John Collinson, Chief
of that Bureau, show very strikingly
how great the Improvement has BEEN
The unit of measurement, all over
the globe, for the ways in which the
world has been made safer for in
fancy. is the number of little lives
that fade out in the first year OF life,
in each thousand born alive. The rec
ords show that here in Maryland one
little citizen out of every eight born
in 1915, died before it was a year
old. In 1919, the number had been cut
down to one in nine; and in 1924 it was
one in eleven. Five years later-l929
the records show that one out Of
every twelve babies born during the
year died before it was year old, and
last year the number was one in four
teen.
The total number of infant deaths
in 1915 was 1868, or 119 deaths to
each thousand live births. The number
of infant deaths in 1884 went down to
1901, or SO deaths under year old
to each thousand live births.
A special effort is being made by
city and county departments of health
throughout the State to cut down the
proportion of infant deaths to live
births, to a still lower figure. The loss
of even fifty little lives in each thous-
and born-that is one in every twenty
is regarded with regret, but as the
decline is necessarily gradual, that is
the goal that has been fixed for the
next drop in the infant death rate for
Maryland. That this goal is attainable
is shown from the fact that two coun-
Baltimore and Montgomery
had less than so deaths under year
old, to each thousand live births, last
year. The proportion in Baltimore
county was 81 and in Montgomery
county it was 40 to each thousand live
births. Cecil came near the mark with
55 infant deaths to each thousand
live births. The rates for Baltimore
City and for the rest of the counties
were higher.
