Deaths among Legitimate and Illegitimate Infants.
The death rate among illegitimate children is a matter of great
difficulty to deal with. Illegitimate children seldom receive the same
maternal care that is bestowed upon legitimate children, and that they
should be looked after as well as circumstances will permit is important,
and to ensure this, special attention is now being given to all illegitimate
births which come under our notice.
I have prepared the following figures to show the great difference
that exists in the infantile death-rates of legitimate and illegitimate
children under one year of age.
