The rates for the year show a very considerable reduction in
the birth-rate, and this is general in all the sub-districts. The rate
for Putney is exceptionally low, being 2.21 under the rate for
1908, and 4 69 under the decennial average. The rate for Tooting
is this year under the decennial average, but compared with the
other sub-districts, Tooting has a high birth-rate.
The rate for the whole Borough is much lower than any
previously recorded, being 1.63 per 1,000 under 1908, and 2.34
under the decennial average.
The birth-rate for the whole of London was 24 3 per 1,000,
compared with 25.82 in 1908, and 27.76 the decennial average;
