Not illustrated. 1916 Excerpt: ...bureau will employ county and district agents, in addition to the state agent, to find and prosecute violators of the vital-statistics law. Nevertheless, the big "IF"--the difficulty and uncertainty of the actual enforcement of law--stands in the way of obtaining complete vital statistics in nearly all of our states. It is not peculiar to registration laws, but merely incidental to our general disregard, as a people, of mere laws--although the abiding faith and reverence of the Anglo-Saxon for law remains deep-rooted within us. The disgust for laws is consequent upon the myriads of useless laws which cumber our statute books and are turned out in apparently neverending profusion at the annual or biennial sessions of our state legislatures. "Pass a law" is the slogan of every reform, but the great majority of the laws which are passed become more or less dead letters. Hence the effort to secure actual compliance with the provisions of a registration law, enforcing the penalty in each and every case of violation--or at least in a sufficient number of cases to act effectively as a deterrent--seems almost grotesque and absurd. Only a small proportion of the most heinous offenses, including the crime of murder, are actually visited with the penalty imposed by law. There is much delay and uncertainty attending legal action, and personal and political influence are readily invoked to prevent enforcement of the penalty for what are regarded as merely trivial or technical misdemeanors. We are improving, doubtless. But the tune seems long before we shall have a standard of compliance with law throughout the country, with the full understanding and support of the people behind it, that will insure perfect registration.

Cressy Livingston Wilbur
Edit ProfileEducation
He was educated in the public schools of his native city and at Hillsdale College, where he received the degrees of Ph. B. in 1886, and Ph. M. in 1889. He commenced the study of medicine at the University of Michigan, 1888-89, but completed his training at Bellevue Hospital Medical College (New York University) in 1890.
Career
His public health career began in 1893, when he was appointed chief of the Division of Vital Statistics of the Michigan State Department of Health. Although the United States was first among the civilized nations of the world to provide for a periodic enumeration of its population, it lagged shamefully in recognizing the need of recording the births and deaths occurring within its boundaries. In 1880, ninety years after the first federal census was taken, the registration of deaths was reasonably complete in only two states - Massachusetts and New Jersey, and in a number of individual cities in other states. It was fortunate for the cause of public health that, even as a state official, Wilbur considered the national and not merely the local aspects of the problem. Only three years after his Michigan appointment, before the American Public Health Association, he urged the establishment of a permanent census bureau with a division of vital statistics as a means for promoting efficient registration in all the states of the Union. In 1901 he was appointed expert special agent in charge of extension of the registration area. In 1902 the Census Bureau was made a permanent office, and in 1906 Wilbur became its chief statistician for vital statistics. His persistent, intelligent, and uncompromising efforts toward the upbuilding of a national system of registration were undeterred by the indifference of the general public, the medical profession, and what was even harder to bear - the frequent lack of interest and understanding in official circles. With the appointment of a new director of the census in 1914 Wilbur resigned. He was then invited to take charge of the Division of Vital Statistics of the New York State Department of Health. In the course of a brief two-year period, he perfected the registration of births and deaths, and laid the foundation for scientifically sound analyses of the vital statistics of the state. In 1916 his health broke down, and he was obliged to retire. After years of invalidism he died in a sanitarium in Utica, N. Y.
Achievements
-
He knew that he would not live to see the fruition of his labors, but he had given unstintingly to his chosen cause all of his uncommon abilities and, almost literally, his life. Wilbur's outstanding contribution to American vital statistics was the fostering of a model vital statistics law that led to the establishment of uniform and effective registration in all states. He assisted in the preparation of the second revision of the Manual of the International List of Causes of Death (1909), and was responsible for the official English text of this revision (1911). Besides numerous official reports, state and federal, he was the author of two score of published papers, mainly on the subject of registration. He was official delegate of the Census Bureau to the International Congress of Tuberculosis held in Washington in 1908, and served as vice-president at the second decennial meeting of the international commission for the revision of the Manual of Causes of Death held in Paris in 1909, at which he was the principal representative of the United States.
