The Increase 81 suicides.

| =
Suicides do not furnish very cheer
ful subject, but they furnish the theme
for rather interesting article in the
current issue Of The Nineteenth Cen
tury by Reginald A. Shelton, a socio-
logical statistician of much repute. He
has collated tables Of statistics bearing
upon this subject from every country
in Europe and for series Of several
years past. The facts which he de-
duces from them are Of more than ordi-
nary interest, and they mainly coincide
with the statistics Of this country
showing that the characteristics Of sui
eide as a mania or as a disease are SUBJ
stantlally the same the world over.
Mr.. Skeletons figures show a general
if not rapid increase of suicide all over
Europe. 1t is specially observable in
Bavaria, Belgium and Sweden, while
in France it is conspicuously rapid.
While the population Of France be-
tween 1881 and 1888 increased but IS
per cent, the number Of suicides in
creased more than 200 per cent. In
England the ratio is comparatively
low, but the increase is continuous. In
Norway there is decreasing tendency,
which is attributable to increasing So
briefly. The two countries having the
least proclivity to suicide are Ireland
and Italy, and these supply more eml-
grants than any other European coun.
tries, which sustains the theory that
the suicide tendency is least in those
countries from which emigration is
heaviest, as it provides an outlet for
much human misery.
The statistics also prove there is an
almost continuous increase in suicide
tendency from January to July, follow
ed by a declining tendency until the
end Of the year. The maximum num-
Der In Europe occurs in July. In this
country, on the other hand, it is found
in August. AS to the sexual proper
t1ons Of suicide, he finds that there are
four times as many men as women sui
cides. In this country there are be-
tween five and six times as many. He
finds also that the suicide tendency
rapidly increases with age up to Is
among men and IS among women,
though up to the age of 35 women are
relatively far more prone to commit
suicide than men. The comparative
influence Of civil condition on the sui
eide tendency is shown by the fact that
the total rate of suicide of widowed
persons is several times that of either
married or unmarried persons, that
more bachelors commit suicide than
married men, that married women
commit suicide less often than spin
sters and that great proclivity to sui
eide is attributed to divorced persons,
all Of which demonstrates the benefi-
cial influences Of marriage.

exceptions OF districts No. II and 81,
this district shows the largest percent
age of attendance. There were nine
months, or $50 days of school; the
average attendance was 1928 days, or
an average loss of fifty-two days for
each one of the 439 pupils enrolled.
Fifty-two days equals more than two
and half months. Again, take dis
trict No. s, the one showing the low
est percentage of attendance; in that
district there were seven months, or
14O days of school. The average at
tendance was fifty -four days, loss of
eighty-six days or four months out of
the seven months of school,
In treating this subject it is neces-
sary to deal in averages. They are
not hard to comprehend, but perhaps
the point can be seen palmer by SUP
posing case like this: A man goes
into district No. s and tells the people
that he Will take up a popular collec-
ton and then expend the amount COL
lected in books for q school library;
the collection is taken. and he finds
that the amount equals 40 cents for
each pupil enrolled; he eXpends for
books 81 cents for each pupil and keeps
the balance of S6 cents for each one;
then the district, taken as a whole, has
lost on an average, the sum of SO cents
for each pupil. In fact, the people of
that district paid the amount necessary
for 14O days of school for each pupil,
but the careless parents and guardians
have returned to the children only 81
days, thereby detrauding them of Sc
days OF school to which they we're en-
titled. The same rule is applicable to
all the districts.
If this should fall into the hands of
any parent who does not appreciate
the value of an education, let an effort
be made to place specific price on it.
The average attendance in days for
each scholar in this county for the
past year was 95. Taking this as a
basis and supposing pupil to enter
school at the age of six years and to
attend 95 days each year until the age
of sixteen is reached, ten years, he
will have attended $50 days. Now let
any man who has spent ten years in
school decide whether he would, for
the sum of $3.50, agree never again to
use any part Of the education there
acquired or whether he would refuse.
If he would refuse we are to suppose
that he considers his education worth
at least $3.50, or 81 a day for every day
spent in school. Then it is plain that
this man would consider that for every
day child is kept out of school it has
been cheated out of one dollars worth
of education, which Of right belongs to
it, and there we're lost in this county
during the past year 10S, 1856 days of
school,
Each child OF this generation is en-
titled to an education. This is an in
heritance provided by civilized,
christianized and progressive common
wealth and no person should counte-
nance any practice which tends to de-
fraud him of it. I hope to see an
awakening among the people and to
see each. child given the schooling for
which the state and school districts
are providing.

The Census.

June Ist the census enumerators
began taxing down the names OF the
hali-nillion or more people in the
state OF Washington. The only off l.
cial enumerators OF Adams county are
W. w. Zent, j. S. Edwards and E. r..
Doughty.
Every effort should be made by the
people OF Adams county to cooperate
with the census enumerators and give
them an accurate statement of facts
in each house visited. The state as Il
whole ought to gain one or two con-
grcssmen, because it is well known
that the population has greatly in
creased during the past ten years.
1t will facilitate the work OF the
enumerators materially for the people
to look up such facts in regard to
their age, nativity, ancestry, etc, ms
they will be required to answer. The
accuracy ard thoroughness of the
work of the enumerators for the
twelfth census will depend largely up
on the intelligence and promptness Of
the people.
