. A uniform practice in keeping official records of bix;ths.
marriages and deaths—called Vital Statistics—is im
i portant to all citizens of a State. Without such “Birth
and Death Bookkeeping™ proper certificates cannot be
obtained, and the lack is often a very serious matter.
A birth certificate is frequently needed to prove a child’s
age in connection with schooling or working papers; -
: or to establish the right to inherit property. A death
4 certificate is indispensable in settling insurance or pen
/' sion claims, and is often necessary evidqgce, in. §gttlmg | |

Complete and accurate recording of the dates and
3 causes of all deaths helps to prevent disease and thus
promote good health and lengthen life. Such a record
: enables a community to compare its own condition of
= health with that of other places, so that it may improve
B its situation and avoid troubles which have threatened
R neighboring towns. It guides industry in selecting
21 healthful locations for factories and shops, and helps
home-seekers choose safe places to live.
No community should permit a humin e to be
begun unrecorded or to end without official rogistrae
tion of when and why. .
