Excerpt from Proceedings of the First National Conference on Infant Mortality and Public Welfare: Organized and Conducted by the Office of the Public Welfare Commissioner and Held Under the Patronage of His Excellency Leonard WoodAll the papers read at the Conference are here published with their discussions. Many Of these discussions were written and handed in by the members Of the Conference to the chairman Of each session, as it had been decided to follow that procedure whenever it was found necessary to economize time. For this reason most Of the lecturers did not have then and there the opportunity to answer the questions addressed to them, or to give their opinion on matters discussed which needed explana tion. In the publication of the Proceedings Of the Conference it was, therefore, considered convenient to refer for comment such discussions to the lecturers concerned, andito include their comments in this publication.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
