Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual Report of the State Board of Health of Maryland for the Year Ending December 31, 1915
By reference to the part of the table below - dealing with birth rates, death rates and rates of increase per thousand, a comparison may be made of the efficiency of registration in the various counties of Maryland. The birth rate per for Maryland probably lies between the figures 24 and 27. It can be assumed, therefore, that returns from any of the counties of Maryland, which are below 20 per indicate defective re turns, and a birth rate of 15 or less means very defective returns.
The death rate exceeds 15 per. In eleven counties. The lowest death_rate is in Garrett County, per This county has almost entirely a white population, and its returns to this office are good. The death rate here given we believe is correct.
Table IV gives a summary of the births, birth rates, deaths, death rates, and excess of births over deaths per thousand among male, female, White and colored for the total population of Rural Maryland and of Baltimore City. The birth rates and death rates per are calculated both in relation to the total population and to the four divisions of population, male, female, white and colored.
