birth registration
Women of State Want an <
Act That Can Be Enforced
1
A very important matter is to be
irought before the legislature this
winter at Charleston in the effort !
which will be made to get a vital staistics
law with teeth in it enacted. A1
fear ago the following resolve was J '
>assed and later re-endorsed by the J
state Federation of "Women's Clubs: <
The "West Virginia Federation 1
of Women's ' CIuds heartily en- J
dorse the movement to establish
law in this and in other states to .
provide for uniform registration .
of births and deaths, known as ,
"The Model Law" to provide adequate
penalty for failure to com- ply
with the provisions of such a
law. j
In simpler words?West Virginia
aw on the matter of registering births
ind deaths is very poor, especially
ilrths. Mot long ago while Dr. Hat- r_
leld was governor, a law was passed
naking such registration compulsory. <
["he only trouble with this law lay in
he fact that no provision was made
o enofrce it. As a result births and v,
leaths are not registered in this state J
except on such occasion as doctors
ind it esnecially convenient. Many I
lirths are never registered- Not long '
go a number of mothers in this city
indertook to discover whether or not
heir children's births were registered
ind were much surprised to discover
hey were not. Many parents believe
his is done as a matter of course and
lever have occasion.-personally to investigate.
In some states doctors '
nake out a birth certificate which beomes
the property of the parents ininediately
after the birth of a child.
. The importance of birth and death
egistration may readily be understood.
Very often property is lost
hrough lack of such certificate. Someimes
the legality of a birth must be
ascertained by certificate. In a new
had labor law which is to be presentid
at the coming legislature, a birth /
lertificate must be shown in order to '
irevent a child's age from being miaepresented.
In instances innumer- '
ble, both birth and death certificates
tecome a necessity. 0
It is often exclaimed: "We have the t
egistration of fine cattle and other t
inimals?is not the child as Import- <
intT* More and more is the subject 2
becoming a serious one to parents. 1

are that Coach Maurer will
