Appropriations— It also shows that the appropriations by the Federal Government
for P u b l i c H e a l t h Services, as given in the Auditor- General's Report
for the year ended M a r c h 31st, 1915, amounted to $ 511,338.92.
It is a comfort to be able to remind you in passing that our present
organization, appropriations, and achievements bear a favourable comparison
w i t h this former state of affairs.
Infant Mortality— It is further pointed out that the average Annual Infant
M o r t a l i t y in Great B r i t a i n from 1911 to 1914 was 110 per 1,000 l i v i n g births and
that n o t w i t h s t a n d i n g war conditions, it was reduced to 91 in 1916. In Aust
r a l i a the Infant M o r t a l i t y rate in 1915 was 67 and in N e w Zealand the Infant
M o r t a l i t y rate for 1917 was 50, w h i c h rate had been reduced from 80 per
1,0G0 l i v i n g births in about ten years by the education of the public and the
i n s t i t u t i o n of a Public N u r s i n g Service.
Infant M o r t a l i t y rates are also given for four of the Provinces of Canada,
as fo'lows,—
These are all the rates the Report gives. I miss A l b e r t a.
Women's War Conference— On the first page of the report appears a
Resolution' passed by the Women's W a r Conference of February, 1918. setting
forth that—" in view of the excessively high death- rate among infants in
Canada . . . . it is essential . . . . that immediate steps be taken by
the Government to conserve infant life."
The Present Situation— Eleven years after, the Preliminary Official V i t al
Statistics of Canada for 1929, issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, of
the Department of Trade and Commerce, give the Infant M o r t a l i t y rate of
the Dominion of Canada as 92.2 per 1,000 l i v i n g births.
