Within the next three month New York may save—or lose—nine mill- ton dollars’ worth of babies! Putting aside all sentimental considerations, that {s the actual economic | worth to the city of the babies who will die this summer {f there is no new | effort on the part of individuals or of the community to save them. The estimate fs a conservative one, drawn up by the cen- tral office of the Bables’ Welfare Association, All through Baby Week, which 1s just past, the association, besides doing its best to press-agent baby and give him a good time, has been quietly gathering together a full account of what Father Knickerbecker is publicly and privately doing for him.

Of course every mother knows that her own baby, without counting any oth- ers, is worth $9,000,000 to the city, But the grumplest bachelor voter must treat respectfully Mr. Smith's arith- meuc. “The average value of a baby is $2,900, according to the lowest estimate, that of the National Conservation Commission,” he said. “The estimate was obtained by deducting the average cost of rearing a child from the average arnings of an adult during the average lifetime. If you multi- ply $2,900 by the number of deaths of babies under one year of age in 1913, you have the enor. mous total of $40,000,000, which Hee baby death rate cost the city t year. and loss column, it is still losing mill- necessarily snuffed out. feel that this co-operation can be in- creased by the extension of the activi- tles of the Babies’ Welfare Associa- tion, in which ninety of New York's infant welfare agencies are already federated. “In nearly all of Queens Borough and parts of Brooklyn, Richmwnd and the Bronx no infant welfare work is being done, and the death rate of ba- bies is very high and constantly in- creasing. With an additional $5,000 a year the Babies’ Welfare could organize baby saving agencies in these districts.” WELL-TO-DO MOTHERS NEED EDUCATION.
