AMERICAN JOURNAL OF P3UBC HEATH CRESSY L. WILBUR, M. D., Chief Statistician, Bureau of the Census, Washington, D. C. Read before the General Sessions, American Public Health Association, Colorado Springs, September, 1913. The persistent worker for an efficient system of vital statistics for the entire United States must necessarily be an optimist. I do not mean to include under this term that class of persons who, as it might be said, "do not know enough to come in when it rains," nor who persist in believing this to be the best of all possible worlds in certain respects, despite rather obtrusive evidence to the contrary. I mean that the laborer for better registration methods must have a large amount of faith on the evidence of things as yet unseen, and must hold fast to each bit of encouragement and success that comes in the extension of better methods of recording births and deaths in this country, without dwelling on the comparatively slow progress, the disheartening indifference and ignorance found even among those who might be presumed to be active friends of better methods, and the almost insuperable difficulty of securing thorough enforcement of registration or any other laws
