In all countries the theory that " children are the capital of the State " is now being translated anto laws and customs. From the Children's Bureau of *the Department of Labour of the United States information with regard to the care of infants and young mothers is -being scattered broadcast, and a Bill for extending this work was brought before the Senate in June, I9I8. In Missouri a Bill was passed, in April, I9I7, awarding sums varying from ,3 3s. to Z8 a month to mothers without mean.s to enable them to look after their own children at home. For the protection of illegitimate infants importantt l,aws were passed in Queensland in I905, Victoria in I915, and Norway in 1915. The last-mentioned law is a revival of the old Folk Law of the country, and it transfers the responsibili.ty of proving who the father is and of maintaining the child from the mother to the State. According to the Queensland legislation the father is bound to pay the expenses of the confinement, and affiliation orders can be obtained before the birth. Nursing homes and the adoption of childxen are also, provided for. The Victoria "Infant Life Protection Act" makes the child a ward of the State if the father fails to pay the necessary weekly allowance for four weeks. In many countries the mother can claim support from the father before the child is born, but in England she cannot do so. Hence the father commonly escapes responsibility. In 191 only 6,914 affiliation orders wee made, although 37,909 illegitimate children- were born. According to the Affiliation Orders Act of July, 1914, the cost of the proceedings may be borne by the State. As far as sterilisation and the prevention of disease are concerned, Indiana is leading the way. The State Board of Health collects par. ticulars of all persons affected by tuberculosis within its jurisdiction, an,d disseminates information with regard to the treatm-ent of the patients; and since 1907 the officials of certain public institutions have been com- pelled to sterilise persons whose children would be dangerous to the community. The results have been so good that sterilisation laws have been passed in 22 other States. The marriage of persons afflicte.d with certain heritable diseases has been, forbidden, recently, in Wisoonsin, Minneso-ta, New Jersey and New York.-The Journal of Comparative Legislation and International Law, April, 1919; pp- 58-66. Justice for Wives and Children. TESTATOR'S FAMILY MAINTENANCF, IN NEW ZEALAND, by James Christie, LL.M. This legislation dates from I900 and was embodied, with improve- ments, in the Family Protection Act of I9o8. It ensures that no man shall leave his children, whether legitimate or illegitimate, or his widow, wit,hout means. A few examples will show how the Act is applied. In one case an order was issued for an allowance to be made to a bedridden man out of his wife's estate, because his sons were married and had "obligations which would take precedence over the obligation to maintain a father." In another an application was refused on the ground that the applicant was an able-bodied drunkard 44 years of age. In giving his judgment Mr. Justice Chapman said: " The statute does not contemplate assistance to a daughter-in-law or to grandchildren, though the Court PERIODICAL LITERATURE. 89 often considers them when. ascertaining the needs of a son, but it would be a novel use of the powers of the Act to relieve the so-n of his burdens when the only result would be to set free his resource.s to lbe spent in drinking." In another case in which the bulk of the property had been left to the second wife and her child, a larger amount than the will assigned to her was awarded to a daughter by the first marriage, for whom but a meagre provision had been made, because the greater pat of the capital had origina.lly belonged to the first wife, who, together with her daughter, had built up the fortunes of the family by her industry and economy. The guiding principle is the needs of the dependents of the deceased man or woman, and in the estimation of those needs the standard of living to which the family has been accustomed is -taken into account.- The lournal of Comparative Legislation and International Law, December, 1919; pp. 2I6-231. British Monogamy. THE RELATIONS BEWEEN THE ENGLISH LAW AND THE PERSONAL LAW OF INDIANS IN ENGLAND, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE MARRIAGE LAW, by Sir Frederick Robertson, Kt., K.B.E., LL.D. "We have in England no law firamed on the scale of polygamy or adjusted to its requirements." That sentence, which was uttered by a British judge in a case concerning the marriage of two Mormons, contains the essence of the English 'law with regard to the marriage of a man to a woman belonging to a com- munity other than his own in which marital regulations are different. In the Mormo-n case the husband gave up Mormonism, while the wife remained faithful to it and married another man; and the decision was that no divorce could be granted to the first husband, because no valid marriage existed which the Court had the power to dissolve.

  • French Spatial Inequalities in an Historical Perspective
    Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne Ecole doctorale 465 - Economie Panthéon-Sorbonne Thèse présentée pour obtenir le titre de DOCTEUR en Economie French Spatial Inequalities in an Historical Perspective Florian Bonnet Soutenue publiquement le 11/12/2018 devant un jury composé de : Rapporteurs Ryan Edwards, Research Asociate Berkeley Population Center Farid Toubal, Professeur des Universités ENS Paris-Saclay Examinateurs Magali Barbieri, Chargée de Recherche INED & UC Berkeley Lionel Kesztenbaum, Chargé de Recherche INED & PSE Josselin Thuilliez, Chargé de Recherche CNRS & CES Directeur de thèse Hippolyte d’Albis, Directeur de Recherche CNRS & PjSE Paris Jourdan Sciences Economiques Abstract This Ph. D. thesis has a dual purpose. First, it presents the methods used to build two new historical databases relating to départements. The first database provides the departmental lifetables for the period 1901-2014. The second database provides the departmental distributions of income over the period 1960-2014. Second, this thesis presents the first works resulting from the joint use of these two databases and other statistics: they concern both the dynamics of spatial inequalities and some specific historical events. Thus, the analysis of the spatial distribution of the population since the middle of the 19th century allows to understand the dynamics induced by the rural exodus, but also by the new trends of today’s migrations. The analysis of mortality inequalities over the last 200 years shows that inequalities have fallen dramatically since the end of the 19th century, while the geography of excessmortality has changed. Finally, the analysis of spatial income inequalities reveals a continuous decline since the 1920s. This decline occurred only since 1950 if spatial inequalities are observed using asynthetic indicator of welfare, combining both mortality inequalities and income inequalities.

April 24, 1919, Gentlemen:- Herewith, I reproduce in full, a letter just received from Kuhn & Co,, sugar-beet seed growers, of Naarden, Holland. r visited their s E' ed laboratories in l'?HO and since have corresponded with them from time to time. The concern stands high, personally the Dudek van Heels are charming people and their laboratories and other equipment indicate careful and highly scientific work. In 1911 they outlined to me a plan somewhat on the lines of the letter herewith attached, but at that time. not enoug_~ interest was ~anifested by our people in the project to consid~r it seriously. s~ch information as reaches me, indicates that even though we still desired to depend upon Europe for this vital necessj_ty to the domestic sugar in­ dustry and to resume our former relations with a nation whtch has so grossly violated a11 established rules and laws of civilization, difficulty will be experienced in securing seed, and prices wi 11 be much higher than they were before the war.
