FALL OF 30 PER CENT,
Calculated on the total population, the fall in the blith-rate in London during the past 37 years,amounted to 17 per cent. Based on the "proportion of births to the number of possible mothers--that is, the total number of women fying as childbearing ages--the fall in the birth-rate amounted to 30 per cent. in the same period.

"There are sufficient grounds for stating that during the past 37 years approximately 19 per cent. of decline ip, the birth-rate is due to the decrease in the proportion of married women in the famale population of conceptive ager, and-over 5 por caul, is due to the decrease of
legitimacy."
DELIBERATE RESTRICTION. Then there comes this significant sopience: With regard to the remaining 76 per cent. of the decrease, although some of the ray duoad fertility may be ascribed to changes in the age constitution of married women, there can be little doubt that much of it is due to deliberate restriction of child-bearing. As regards the districts in Londoo where births are more frequent, they are Stepney, Bethnal- green, Poplar, Shoreditch, Bermondsey, Fins- bury, and Southwark. And the report com. ments; "It-is worthy of remark that the pos pulations of all these boroughs are compara. tively poor The births of males, nombered - 63,304; and the births of females 59,931.
The marriages in London during the year 1907 numbered 40,541, corresponding to a rale of 17.0 persons married petroco of the popula tion at all ages. This rate was 0.1 per 1,0:0 below the corresponding rate in 1906, and was 0.8 per 1,000 below the average rate in the fo years 1897-1906. In the year 1894 the marriage rate was 17.0; from that date it gradually 1010 to 18.8 in the year 1898, since which year it has declined almost continuously to its prevent level.
