The Organisation op Registration in its Bearing on Vital Statistics.
The Presidential Address of Sir Bernard Mallet, K.C.B., for The Session1916-17. Delivered to the Eoyal Statistical Society, NovEMiiER 21, 1916.
I Am glad to take this opportunity, the fii st which has presented itself since last summer, of expressing my sense of the distinguished honour done to me, and, what is more important, to my Department, by my election to the office of President of the Royal Statistical Society; and my anxiety to justify the choice of the Society by working for its interests to the best of my abiHty. It will be difficult, indeed, in this respect not to fall below the standard set by the two Presidents under whom I have been privileged to serve as a Vice-President the late Sir Charles Dilke and Lord George Hamilton, who has just relinquished the Chair after a supplementary term of office consequent upon the lamented death of Lord Welby. As regards Sir Charles Dilke, the Society has placed upon record its recognition of the high ability and energy with which he devoted himself to its service; and as regards Lord George Hamilton, I shall only express the unanimous feeling of his colleagues on the Council when I lay stress on the good fortune which enabled the Society to secure, for so unusually long a period, the services of this distinguished statesman. No one within the memory of those who hear me has filled the post of President with greater success.
