Excerpt from Maternity and Infant Care: In Two Rural Counties in Wisconsin

The survey made in Wisconsin, like that in Kansas,1 covers two main topics: The conditions affecting the health of the childbearing mother - the general living conditions of the family, the work done by the' mother, and the care she received during pregnancy and at the time of confinement; and the care - especially the feeding - and survival of the babies. Throughout these rural surveys, the chief aim has been to give a picture of the district studied, rather than to indicate any connection between certain conditions and the infant mortality rate.

The information upon which the report is based was secured by the bureau's agents through personal interviews with mothers (or, in cases where for some reason the mothers could not be seen, with their near relatives) who had borne children within the two years preceding the survey, and who, when those children were born, were living in the territory covered. As the first step in finding families where there had been births,' the names of the parents were copied from the birth certificates of this territory for the designated period. Secondly, a canvass was made in each district to find additional un registered births. In nearly all cases the information was given by the mother herself. The mothers interviewed were appreciative of the Object of the inquiry and answered the many personal questions with generous frankness.
