abstract="Census figures for 1930 made public in 1931 indicated a stationary a stationary birth-rate, and a decreased infant mortality rate, but reports from various sources gathered in 1931 seemed to indicate that the depression was beginning to show on the physical condition of children and that a considerable increase in malnutrition in school children was becoming evident. The largest number of child-welfare measures in recent years was introduced in the 44 state legislatures which met in 1931, but the economic and financial policy resulted in tabling many measures entailing increased expenditures. &quot;Back to School&quot; and &quot;Stay in School&quot; campaigns were organized during the year to keep children from leaving school for work and train them for increased usefulness.<p />",
