Decreasing Death Rates in Cities.

Census bulletin number So is devoted
array OF tables and figures tending to
prove that in the past decade the death
rate has decreased. This is particu-
la1ly true of the great cities where the
results are shown of the advances
made in medical science and santa
ton and in preventive and restrictive
measures enforced by the health au-
thorities. In 1890 the death rate in 2I1
registration cities of 5000 or more pop
ulation was Il per 1000; in 1900 the
rate was 1876 per 1000 in 341 cities of
5000 population and upward. a reduc-
ton of the cities comprehended was
"A, ,a5S254 in 1890, and y 660.63l i'm 1900.
The entire significance of these figures
can be properly weighed only when
the rates for the individual cities are
considered in connection with known
conditions of local improvement in san
ltatlon ana hSaitn OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
which are not of Il statistical nature
ami which were not developed by the
inquiries in the schedules.
The decrease in the general death
rate and in the rates due To diseases
most frequent in the early years of
lie, on one hand and the increase in
the rates due to those diseases occur
ring generally at advanced ages. on the
other. mean also increased longevity.
The average age at death in 1890 was
31I years: in 1900 it was 35.2 years.
The rural death rate is everywhere
lower than that in the cities. but the
returns are not SO complete or accu
rate The department does not value
the Maine returns for 1890 high enough
to use them for purposes of comparison
bulletin shows the death rate of the
State for 1900 to be 1,.5 per l 900 popu-
lation which is lower than Massachu-
setts or New Hampshire. The rate in
the cities was EOS and for the rural
