Tho Natural Itosources Intel. ligence Seevlco of the Depart- ment of the Interior at Ottawa says: Of all the many natural re., sources which Ontario possess- es the greatest is her people. The natural increase ''from births is her hest .source of population, and the growth and maintenance of thisinereaae is her fust duty. The Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics has just issued a report on Vital Statistics for 1921, which gives some interesting figures on Ontario's birthrate. In that year there were 74,152 births, exclusive of 18,340 still births. Of living births there were ,38,307 males and 85,846 females, or an execss of males of 2,462. During the same year there were 6,763 deaths of chil- dren.under one year of age, of which 3,918 Were male and 2,- 845 female; under five years of age, 8,553, of which 4;8.74 were male and • 3,679 female; r under ten years of; age, 9,481 deaths of which 5,385 were males and 4,090 females; thus reducing "•the excess of male births before the age, of ten years is reached` from 2,462 Ur 1,289. It is also interestingto note the lower rate of infant mor- tality in 1921 as compared with 1920. In the former year of every 1,000 children born 91.2 died, while in 1920 of every 1,000 births ,103.7 died in the first year of life. Every 'Mother.
