in St. George's. The birth-rate in Mile End Old Town has not been so
high as in St. George-in-the-East, but a similar reduction has occurred during
the last 15 years. It was again lower in Mile End in 1922 than in the previous
year. The greatest reduction has been in the Whitechapel District (Whitechapel,
Mile End New Town, Spitalfields, &c.). It was lower in 1922 than
in the previous year. At one time it was above 40 per 1,000 of the population
and was never below 30 per 1,000 previous to 1912. Since the latter year It
has gradually become lower, and during the last 7 years it has been under 20
