Excerpt from Infant Mortality: Results of a Field Study in Waterbury, Conn., Based on Births in One Year
The inquiries of the Federal Children's Bureau into the causes of infant mortality mark the beginning of an attempt on the part of the United States Government to obtain an accurate measure of the relative importance of various factors in the great waste of infant life in this country. Obviously this attempt must rest upon an accu rate knowledge oi the number and location of births. Owing to the incomplete registration of births and deaths in many sections Of the country it is impossible at the present time to compute an exact infant mortality rate for the United States as a whole. We are still guessing at our birth and death rates in spite of the fact that we have long known that uniform methods of keeping our vital statistics are essential to intelligent government.
