Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from English-Speaking Conference on Infant Mortality: Report of the Proceedings of the English-Speaking Conference on Infant Mortality, Held at Caxton Hall, Westminster, on August 4 and 5, 1913
IN presenting the report of the English-speaking Con ference on Infant Mortality, which was held in the Caxton Hall on August 4 and 5 of this year, it may be well to point out that this Conference, though in series with the two which preceded it in 1906 and 1908, is yet distinct from them in that this year for the first time it was conducted under the auspices of the National Association for the Prevention of Infant Mortality and for the Welfare of Infancy, and not as heretofore by a special and independent committee.
The new Association, which was founded in June, 1912, is an amalgamation of the original Executive Committee on Infant Mortality with representatives from a number of other associations and societies interested in child welfare. With permanent headquarters in London, the Association is in an excellent position for pursuing active propaganda work in the interval between Conferences, and for securing the best possible results from the Conferences themselves. The success which is admitted on all hands to have attended the first efforts of the new Association is of excellent augury for the future. The Association enjoys the patronage of their Majesties the King and Queen, and is fortunate in possessing for its President the Right Hon. John Burns, m.p., and for its Chairman of the Executive Committee Sir Thomas Barlow, the President of the Royal College of Physicians.
