Excerpt from Infant Mortality and Its Administrative Control Should this conclusion be just, it would follow that the correlation between the birth rate and the rate of infant mortality ought to be much reduced if the factor of poverty could, by some means, be kept constant. Notwithstanding the eternal difficulty of finding a measure of poverty, it would seem that some approximation to the end in View might be hoped for through the use of the calculus of correlations. Apparently, however, no suitable data exist in this country, for neither poverty nor the prevalence of artificial feeding is brought into relation with infant mortality by means of the method of correla tion in the Local Government Board report. A difficulty which confronts anyone attempting to solve the problem upon the basis of English official records are the size and heterogeneity of the conventional subdivisions, the registration counties. When it is a question of the general features of infant mortality all over the land (as was the case in the l.g.b. Report), the objection may be of little moment. If, however, we set out to study the relative significance of the three factors enumerated, the introduction of such modifying conditions as greater or less urbanisation, differential employment in various industries and even climatic conditions increase the difficulties of our task.
