Belter Vital Statistics
•.. kt\ >■* R* fe. fcu nt\ pjh
tlly I>r. John W. Duke. Health ('ommlss r.)
On July 1st the new vital statistics
law will go into effect throughout Ok-
lahoma. This law 1h modeled upon
the vital registration law drawn up
under the direction of the federal gov-
ernment. It has been tested i na num-
ber of states. Of course It will be
some time before the effects of the law
are thoroughly In evidence, but it is
hoped that as soon as they are. Okla
homa will be eligible for admission in-
to the federal registration district
Full and accurate vital statistics
not wanted simply in order to make
tables for tho perusal of physicians
and health officials. They are indirect
but extremely potent factor in con
serving public health. Without statis
tics showing the number and location
of deaths from a particular disease a
health department is handicapped in
its fight against that disease.
Accurate birth statistics are not less
essential. It is an injustice to a child
not to provide it with a birth certifi-
cate. Often such a failure means great
inconvenience and perhapB financial
loss later in life. The co-operation of
mothers is important in obtaining ac-
curate birth statistics. When every
mother realizes that direct injustice,
is done her baby if it has no birth cer-
tificate, she will insist that the phy-
sician in attendance make8 out such a
certificate. When this is done full and
accurate records will be possible. In-
cidentally under the new law adequate
penalties are provided for failure to
furnish birth and death statistics..
