OF 20 per 1000 population is the
highest since 1880.
In previous years an increase IN
the birth rate was accompanied by
an increase in the infant death rate
Evidently the results OF education
have begun TO be felt in saving the
lives OF infants because the infant
death rate declined from 37.4 per
1000 live births in 1910 to 80 in
1871. he says.
Pneumonia shows a further drop
with a rate OF 20 per 100 900 in 1911
as against rate OF 40.6 in 1910.
