It is not the purpose of this report to “point the moral” of the data collected. I had been less than human if I had not pondered the problem, as I unraveled the facts, and sought its solution. Finding and applying it will undoubtedly be the work of many people and much time. None the less the story of t my fifty-three midwives will not have ended until that solution has been reached and applied.
