McOULLOVGR, M.D., D.P.H., OEIEF OFO'ioua OF THE PROVINCIAL BOARD OF REAurss. INFANT WELFARIE--ARTICLE No, 1. THIS subject is of the first importance to a new and growing country like Canada. The care of children is of increased importance in view of the depletion of our country of its male population by reason of the wag'. The death fate among babies in this Province is much too high. Ia the first year of life we lose 12 per cent. of the babies born. While this is exceeded by some of the other provinces of Canada, it is higher than such countries as Norway, Sweden, New Zealaad, and Aus- tralia, whose death rate among babies in the first year of life is 65, 72, 67, 72, respectively. Why is it that Ontario's death rate is 102 instead of 50 or 607 Why is it greater than that of other couatriee? • Cau':e of Infant Mortality. - A good many things enter into the cause of the mortality of infants. There is the general health of the mother and of the father, their material prosperity, whether the mother works away from home and particularly the care she has before the baby's birth. Then there is the knowledge of the mother regarding the proper care of the new-born baby, as to its food, clothing, etc. Some mothers are too young to have the responsibility of motherhood thrust upon them, Others kill their babies with kindness, feed them too frequently, and others again either wilfully or ignorantly decline to nurse the baby from the breast, forgetting or ignoring the fact that Nature's food is the best for the baby. It has been shown by the experience of other countries that the fact as to whether or not the mother is obliged to work out before the baby's birth has a most pronounced effect upon the physical strength of the baby, Similarly if the mother works away from home after the birth, thus depriv- ing the infant of her nursing and care, the death rate will be higher. This - factor has been found to be of greater importance than that of poverty, though the latter la a cause of infant mortality of no small proportions. In certain sections of London it has been found that the infant death rate 1a considerably greater where the mothers work out and where poverty is not a factor than in other and poorer sections where the mothers are at home,. In many European countries insurance is provided against sickness, including that of childbirth, and in Australia the Government gives a premium of 15 for,every birth. What can we do to lessen the infant death - rate in Ontarfo7 If we can do no more we can at least endeavor to educate the mothers regarding the baby's care. In this column a series of articles w111 he presented from time to time upon this subject, The Provincial Board publishes a booklet upon the care of the baby which may be had upon application. Education in Infant Welfare. The Provincial Board of Health realizes that one of the most important factors in promoting the prevention of disease is Education. Consequently the Board has established a Bureau of Public Health Education including the promotion of Infant Welfare, The Bureau is under the direction of Miss Mary Power, a graduate of the University of Toronto, whose energies are , directed towards the education of the public as to how they may keep welt and avoid disease. Tho Board has a large number of pamphlets upon various public health topics which will be east on request:. The Bureau 'will be glad to answer questions relative to Infant Welfare or other Publlo Ilealth p, In tothelcanext article some of the factors In the protection of Infant life will be taken up and discussed, and from time to time in this column, simple rules regarding the care of the baba will be a feature, Watch for this oedema next woel, tl fl 5 5 5 5 5 T duct ers 1 also by t com be mem Rev.
