Christian Herald, , The Childsen's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor in a recent bulletin calls attention to the importance of a legal record of birth, including date, place and par- entage. In most states the laws re- mire physicians to file proper cer- t tes, but there is much careless- ness in this regard. Complete registry of all births is important both to the individual and 10 the nation; to the nation in order 'that it may know the exact inerease in the population, and to the iMi- vidual in order that he may estab his right to a possible inheritance to the full legal measure of schooling, or freedom from under-age work, and also in his liter years that he may establish his right to benefits under old-age pension laws or similar enactments. a !
