OFFICE OF THE SURGEON-GENERAL
WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF MADRAS,

No. 63/401.
From
To
THE HON'BLE SURGN.-GENL. W. B. BANNERMAN,
C.S.I, K.H.P., M.D., D.Sc, I.M.S.,
Surgeon-General with the Government of Madras,
THE CHIEF SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
PUBLIC DEPARTMENT.
SIR,
I have the honour to submit, for the information of Government, the
following report on the Lunatic Asylums in the Madras Presidency for
the triennium ending 1914.
2. Census of 1911.—At the last census of the Madras Presidency
8,407 persons were returned as insane—a proportion of 232 per 100,000 of
the total population—an extraordinary low rate of incidence when
compared with that which obtains in European countries. On the 1st
January 1912 the total number of certified insane persons in England and
Wales was 135,661, and the proportion of certified insanes to the estimated
population was 371*2 per 100,000.
3. As pointed out by Mr. Molony, in his interesting Census Report,
there is little doubt that the prevalence of insanity amongst the people of
this Presidency is grossly understated by these figures, just as it was
understated in Europe in former times. It is not necessary for our pur-
poses to refer back to mediaeval times when insanes were regarded as
bewitched or possessed of evil spirits. If we refer back only half a
century, to the year 1859, we find that the reported insanes in England
then only amounted to 186*7 per 100,000 of the total population, or about
half the present proportion.
4. The true explanation of the astounding difference between the
insanity incidence in Madras and in Europe is probably to be found in
the fact that vanity and insanity are relative terms, and that the standard
pf sanity is lower in the Madras Presidency than in European countries,
just as the standard of sanity was lower amongst English people fifty
years ago than it is now. The increased keenness of the competitive
struggle, the fineness of the margin between success and failure, the
intensity of application to business and to pleasure, the higher standards
of living, the worship of financial and social success, the discontent with
conditions which satisfied preceding generations, and the view of life
exhibited by the business maxim of u Get on or get out" have in Western
countries produced conditions in which only the intellectually fittest can
survive. Many who, in less strenuous times, would have pursued their
inconspicuous, if eccentric, way from their cottage cradle to their village
grave, have been found now a days to clog the wheels of the social
machine, and have been bundled into the lunatic asylums. In these
days we look in vain for the " Davie Gellatleys " of " sixty years sinco "
m the country villages of home, they havo all gono to swoll the numbers
of the asylum population.
