Medical statistics confound the aver-
age Englishman, who has not been
given uutii` the present time to think-
ing seriously of the death rate and the
birth rate per se. A recent publica-
tion of these . medical statistics has
given him food for diquieting thought.
Between 1910 and 1919 a yearly
average of 100,000 babies died at birth
or were still -born. The yearly birth
rate averaged 700,000, exclusive of
unloading its bags and.trunks for a
penny or two will find no trouble in
believing that the figures relative to
mental deficiency among slum peoples
there are not exaggerated.
But it did not matter so signally
While the working classes of England
were content. Their women scrubbed
and slaved as servants or underpaid
factory bands; their men were quite
frankly underdogs and the writer of-

Now if it had been young Peterkins
whose family hadn't much, and who
probably never was taught anything
at home, you could understand it. But
this boy's mother was so good and
the soul of honesty.
It did seem geeer to the ones who
didn't go below the surface. But those
who had watched the boy grow up
rather felt that they could explain it.
Two er 'three mothers got together
and exchanged confidences. There was
the time when the boy was two and
he carried home Jackie Smith's auto-
niobile. Of course, it only came from
the ten -cent store, but it was dear to
Jackie's heart. The lad's mother ex-
plained that be was too young to know
it was naughty, and it , was such a
little thing and her son wanted it so
badly, it seemed a shame to make a
fuss about it and have .'him return it,
so she kept it.
A year or so later it was a 'sack of
pop corn he took away from Jenny
Jones. Jennie cried and told his
mother, but it was silly to cry over a
little sack of pop corn. She did give.
Jennie a nickle, however, to buy an-
other. . All sorts of incidents came up.
One told of half' a dozen fresh cookies
disappearing off the tablewhile the
boy, and his mother were calling; an-
other had her early roses picked by

was so fond of flowers.
