The Family and it’s Members

CHAPTER VIII
7/40

It may be there are already too many children near that baby's age who also make heavy demands upon time and energy.

It may be that discouragements from unhappy family conditions or worry over economic disabilities sap the mother's vitality.

It may be that taints of blood doom the child and the mother.

Whatever the cause, it is reason for deep concern that a great state, like New York, for example, has a rate of infant mortality nearly twice as high as that of New Zealand and ranking eleventh in the twenty-three states of the registration area in which the death of babies is set down with care.

When we add to this loss the death of at least 25,000 women each year in childbirth, most of whom could have been saved under right conditions, we are still more concerned.
