BIRTHS.
The total number of births registered during the year was
1,039, but 47 of these do not belong to this district, while 9
births properly belonging to this district occurred outside the
district. The following table shews the births and birth.rates attributable to residents in this district since 1907:—
Year. | Nett Births. | Nett Birth Rates. |
---|---|---|
1907 | 1,085 | 28.95 |
1908 | 1,169 | 2910 |
1909 | 1,129 | 27.34 |
1910 | 1,050 | 2501 |
1911 | 10,18 | 23.94 |
1912 | 1,017 | 23.09 |
1913 | 1,095 | 24.01 |
1914 | 1,001 | 21,05 |
The birth.rate of England and Wales is 23.8 per 1,000. This
low and falling birth.rate is especially serious if we bear in mind
the fact that the Infant Mortality Rate is nearly 100 per 1,000 births.
