    ANNUAL REPORTS 1909 OF MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH FOR THE RURAL DISTRICT OF STRATFORD-UPON-AVON, THE BOROUGH OF STRATFORD-UPON-AVON, AND THE RURAL DISTRICT OF MARSTON SICCA. These reports may suitably be prefaced by a summary of how these districts compared with England and Wales, and also with the County of Warwick generally as regards some of the more important vital statistical details during the year 1908. In the year 1908 The Birth-rate of England and Wales was 26-5 per 1000 in¬ habitants, the birth-rate of Warwickshire was 25-08 per 1000 inhabitants, and the birth-rate of districts adjoining Stratford- on-Avon 22-3 per 1000 inhabitants. The deduction?from this is that the proportion of persons at the child-bearing age is less in our adjoining districts than is normal for the country generally.
