Not quite all these boroughs however will be able to furnish enough
statistics for a complete comparison. The main comparable figures,
in addition to simple rates, will be as follows:—
(1) Registered births divided into social class.
(2) Notified premature births divided into social class.
(3) Registered stillbirths divided into social class.
(4) Infant deaths in social class.
(5), (6), (7) and (8). The above four statistics further analysed
separately into the type of house, i.e., the mother's recognised
home at the time of the birth (whether the birth is in hospital
or elsewhere) or the infant death. The three sub-divisions of
this are (i) council property; (ii) requisitioned property;
(iii) other property.
(9) Analysis of total deaths by social class, and, as separate figures,
deaths from
(10) Tuberculosis of the respiratory system,
(11) Heart disease,
(12) Pneumonia,
(13) Bronchitis.
(14) and (15). Analysis of all new notifications (excluding inward
transfers) and posthumous "new cases" of tuberculosis of
respiratory system, for social class and type of house.
(16) Analysis of the incidence of certain other infectious diseases
in relation to social class and type of house. Cases occurring in
hospitals or institutions (if likely to have been infected there)
are excluded.
Social class in relation to cause of death
Of the 2,414 deaths analysed by us the social categories were as
follows :-

It will be seen that the total number of deaths computed by us is
one more than the number computed by the Registrar-General. The
approximation is surprisingly good.
