There is a commonly accepted picture of our Birth Control work which represents us as standing in the midst of clamoring crowds, distributing information indiscriminately to all comers and handing leaflets and tracts destined to fall into the hands of high school children and unmarried girls, thereby doing unlimited harm. The true picture is very different. Our offices, one on the inside court of the —— Building, the other in a small house on a quiet West Side street, have very little publicity. We do not advertise. It is difficult to get any notice of our work in the newspapers. It is not spectacular enough. The result is that our patients come slowly. We have had to build up a practice. The first Medical Center was opened July 7, 1924, and during the first three months we had sixty patients, mostly sent to us by a few social agencies. In October we had some newspaper notices and our numbers jumped to seventy-four in one month. In November we had one hundred and twenty. From July seventh to date, ten months, we have had in all five hundred and forty patients. It may be interesting to hear some of the data on the first five hundred cases. We are constantly asked what nationalities we reach. It would be simpler to say what nationalities we do not reach. The exact figures are as follows: American 252 Polish 58 Hebrew 42 German 35 Colored 26 Bohemian 15 Italian 14 Swedish 11 English 8 Irish 7 Norwegian 5 Scotch 4 Hungarian 4 Slovakian 4 Canadian 2 Lithuanian 2 Austrian 2 Spanish 2 Belgian 1 Croatian 1 Greek 1 Swiss 1 Dutch 1 Russian 1 Mexican 1 Of these, 304 were Protestants, or 6/10ths were Protestants 147 were Catholics 3 were Greek Orthodox, or 3/10ths were Catholics 46 were Jewish, or 1/10th Jewish Women of all ages have come, from 16 to 40, the largest number (152) being between the ages of twenty-five and thirty. The young girls under twenty are not school girls, they are rather weary, discouraged little mothers with two or three children, who seem to us entitled to information which will give them a few years’ rest in which to recuperate before they bear more children. So much has been said about the selfishness of women and the growing desire of the modern woman to leave her home and go into industry that it is rather a surprise to find that 464 of the 500 patients gave their occupation as “Housewife” and only 36 were engaged in work outside their homes.
