DEATH BY SUICIDE

VARIES IN THE LARGE CITIES

Some tables were recently prepared
for the Spectator. an insurance publ
cation by Frederick Hoffman relative
to the number Of suicides In american
cities. The United States census re-
ports, in covering rural communities as
we'll as large centres OF population, get
an average of 11.S to 900 OF popula-
tion for the year 1900 for the whole
country. Since the figures which Mr.
Hoffman brings together for cities re

must be coEreBpondingly lower. There
Is no wHy Of making a direct compari-
son, but Il is not unlikely that the
mortality from self-destruction IS near
~ CT quite twice as large in cities az
in the farming districts
Another remarkable fact is that In
the former the rate is on the increase
Summing up the results in fifty OF the
largest cities Of the United States. Il
appears that the average number Of
suicides I'm 1890 WAS ~ per 100000
while in 1901 It had grown TO 1916. AT
no time in the twelve-year period did
the rate fall below the minimum here
given. but in 1897 and 1898 it rose
temporarily to 173. The steady prog
ress shown by this comparison leads
Mr.. Hoffman to think that a further in-
crease in the suicidal tendency may be
expected in the next dec2fle.
A careful inquiry might possibly af-
ford some explanation Of the fuctua-
tions which are noticed from year to
year in these figures. aside from the
steady growth. Hard times, excessive
ly hot summers and other general
causes might be more potent at one
time than at another No such analy-
sis was attempted by the Spectators
contributors, however. The advance in
the rate from 1890 to 1901. no doubt,
is attributed to other influences. such
as Increased mental. social and busi-
ness activity-a greater tension in the
high pressure fife characteristic OF
American cities.

Quite apart from the speculative bear
