Abstract
WITH a birth-rate nearly as low as it has ever been, and an infantile mortality which is capable of reduction by 30 or 40 per mille, the subject of the preservation of child life has assumed great importance. Dr. Lane-Claypon's book is, therefore, most opportune, and she has compiled a summary of the child-welfare movement which for completeness it would be difficult to equal. All aspects seem to have been dealt with, and little has been omitted. This very completeness, however, entails the inclusion of a mass of detail which tends to make the book dull reading.
The Child Welfare Movement.
By Dr. Janet E. Lane-Claypon. Pp. xi + 341. (London: G. Bell and Sons, Ltd., 1920.) 7s. net.
