Excerpt from Maternity and Child Care in Selected Rural Areas of Mississippi Sources of information. - General information was secured from the county health officer, the county superintendent of schools, the county agricultural agent, the home demonstration agent, from physicians, and from many other responsible persons in the county. But in this, as in all similar surveys made by the Children's Bureau, the information most pertinent to child and maternity care was secured through personal interviews with individual mothers by the woman agents of the bureau. Effort was made to secure interviews with the mother of every baby born in the area studied between April 1, 1916, and April 1, 1918. Information was obtained in regard to 685 babies (299 white and 386 colored) born to 675 mothers (295 white and 380 colored). In a few cases in which it was impossible to see either the mother or the father, information was secured from relatives and others in a position to know the facts sought. The local registrars for births and deaths helped in finding all the babies within the scope of the survey, and death certificates for all babies whose deaths. Had been registered were secured at the beginning of the work. Since birth registration was incomplete, a house-to-house canvass was made of the county.
