    As in the Annual Reports for the years 1914 to 1918, Tables V. and VI. were compiled with a view tO' showing' what effect, if any, engagement of mothers away from home had on their children during the early months of life. The figures for the year under Report give somewhat more defi- nite evidence than those in previous years that the children of industrial mothers suffer more than those of non-industrial mothers, both up to the age of 6 months and alsO' up tO' the age of 18 to 24 months. The following Local Government Board Tables are given in the Appendix :— I.—Vital Statistics of the whole Borough during 1919 and previous years. II.—Cases of Infectious Disease notified during 1919. III. —Causes of, and ages at, Death during 1919. IV. —Deaths under One Year during 1919.
