The paper is presented at the third annual meeting of the American Association for Study and Prevention of Infant Mortality (AASPIM).

Charles Ziegler writes: “We are passing through a political, social and economic revolution which is certain to result in giving to the worthy poor justice in necessities of life, among which must be included competent medical service, administered by those who are trained in medicine,” adding that it is impossible to train women to practice obstetrics satisfactorily.
