    The following table shows the mean annual rate of "natural increase" of the population per 1,000 living in certain periods from 1886 to 1912:— With a view to a proper understanding of this table it may be well here to state that the observed rate of increase in the population is dependent upon two causes (i) the difference between the numbers of births and deaths described as "natural increase," and (ii) the difference in the numbers of emigrants and immigrants generally referred to as "the balance of passenger movement." The rate of natura increase, therefore, is the rate that would obtain in a population whose numbers are undisturbed by migration.

    The following table enables comparison to be made of the rates of "natural increase" of the London population with those of the principal towns of England in the period 1907-11, and in the year 1912.

    The factors affecting the rates of natural increase in the different localities to which reference is made, probably tend more to vitiate accurate comparison when the populations concerned are of different nationalities, and this should be borne in mind in connection with the following table showing the rate of increase in London and certain foreign towns (d):—

    It will be seen that both in London and in England and Wales the proportion of male and female minors in every 100 marriages has been diminishing for a number of years, but there is some indication of a pause in the decline:—

    There is considerable different in practice as to the registration and allocation of births occurring in these foreign towns, and the rates shown must, therefore, be regarded as affording material for only approximate comparison.

    The following table has been prepared for the purpose of comparing the death-rate of London with those of other English towns having populations which exceeded 200,000 persons at the census of 1911. The columns showing "death-rates corrected for age and sex distribution" have been obtained by multiplying the crude death-rates by the "factors for correction" published by the Registrar-General in the Annual Summary for 1912.

The factors for correction, also shown in the table, have been calculated by applying the 1911 census population at each age and for each sex of each of the London sanitary districts to the death-rates at each age and for each sex obtaining in England and Wales during the decennium 1901-1910:-

    Enuresis was only found in 0.7 per cent. of cases. Special enquiry was not made in every case as to its presence so that possibly the percentage is really higher. The C schools are worse than the A. This may be due to a greater reticence of the parents of the children, but more probably is due to less careful training in the C class.
