WAR AND BIRTH AND MARRIAGE EATE IN SCOTLAND 



To consider more exactly tlie effect of war conditions on the birtb 

 rate in Scotland, the birtli rate for each mont from the beginning of 

 the war is given in table 28 and also the average of the rates for the 

 corresponding monts of foiir years previous to the declaration of war. 

 Comparing this average for each month four years previous to the war 

 with the birth rate during the war, it will be observed as the war 

 progresses, the birth rate falls more and more below this average.
