The corrected birth-rate was 28.1 par 1,000 of the population,
as compared with 18'5 in 1919, 16.1 in 1918, and 17.7 in
1916. The large increase in the birth-rate for 1920, while a very
satisfactory feature of the vital statistics of the Borough for
the year under review, must, of course, be regarded only as
a natural post-war increase which was to be anticipated. The
decline, which has been steadily taking place in the birthrate
of all civilised countries, will, it is to be feared, continue,
notwithstanding the temporary increase, which is such a noteworthy
incident of the post-war statistics of the nation as
a whole
