SPECIAL REPORT ON THE
 BLIND AND THE DEAF-1oOO

The Bureau of the Census has just issued a special report on the blind and the deaf in the United States in 1900 The inquiry was conducted un- der the direction of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, who determined the scope of the investigation and wrote tho text of the report on the deaf
 The Blind.
 The report on the blind gives not only data concerning color, sex, na- Sivity. marital condition, school atten- dance, and occupations, but also much information in regard to the age when. blindness occurred and the cause or blindness.s.
 One in Every 1900 Persons Blind.
 The total number of blind persons in the United States in 1900 was Oi,- fs3-or about one in every l,z0P or the total population. There were s2.- 645 totally blind, and 2s,1ls parualiy blind These figures. however. can be considered only as the minimum, as an unknown proportion of the pima xuarA not located by the enumeratorF. The number of partially blind oy no neans represents the facts as to defec- five eyesight, but represents only yer fled cases.
 of the total number of blind, s7O54, ar 57.2 per cent. were males. ana zl.- 7oe. or 42.s per cent were femaies. sJnca in the general population only XII per cent. were males ana 4o,s PCT cents were females, It Is evidnt that biindr ess occurs more frequently among males M It,ua
 About fifty-five per cent. of the riind reported were totally blind, and aoout fortyyfive per cent. were partlahy blind. A slightly smaller proport,or ~ bIind males than of blind females were totally blind.
 RIindness More Common In Adult Aite.

eeived but a small share, the wise monks choosing to keep the greater part for themselves. The young man consulted his friends. and all agreed that there was no remedy. At last a barrister, to whom he happened to mention the facts. advised him to sue the monastery. and promised to gain lis case The gentleman followed this advice. and the suit terminated iE hls favor through the management af the advocate. who grounded his plea upon this reasoning:
 "The testator." said the ingenious barrister. has left his son that share of the estate which the monks should choose: these are the express words ot the will. Now. 1t Is plain what part they have chosen by what they keep Cor themselves. My client. then, stands upon the words of the will. Let me have, says he. the part they have chosen. and am satisfied.

age, and only a little more than thirty per cent before twenty years. Thus 1t Is seen that blindness is chiefly a defect of adult life It Is interesting to note that about one-fourth of the persons blind from childhood. or about one-tenth of the total number of blind. were born blind
 Blindness More Common Among the
 Negroes and Foreign Born whs4es.
 The number of blind per 100000 of population was greater among the ne- groes than among the whites, and greater among the foreign born whites than among the native whites. the dft- ference in each case being more mark ed for the totally blind than for the partially blind. The differences in the proportions for the native and the for eign born whites are due very largely to the difference in the age distribu- ton of the two classes. the great ma jority of the foreign born whites be- ing adults among whom blindness Is more common.
 Leading Cnnses of BIindness.
 The most important causes of hlind- ness were, cataract; injuries, accidents. and operations; congenital blindness; old age; and sore eyes Unknown causes were responsible for a slightly greater proportion of cases than any of the above causes.
 The principal causes of blindness occurring after birth and under twen- ty years of age were. injuries. acci- dents, and operations; sore eyes; ca tarrh: measles. and scrofuIa The principal causes of blindness occurring in adult life were. cataract: injuries, accidents. and operations: old age; af- fections of the nervous apparatus: mill itary service; sore eyes: and neuralgia.
 CoHsnnguinify of Parents.

 Causes of Deafness.
 Affection of the middle ear caused deafness in 72.e per cent of the cases. while the per ceatages for deafness caused by affection of tine internal and the external ear were 25.6 and ..s re- spectively.
 Of the diceases which resulted in deafness the most important is catafrh.

 Effect of CoRsanguinity.
 When the subject of deafness is con- sidered from the point of view of con- sanguinity, 1t would seem that nered- fty has played part in producing .congenital deafness and the deafness occurring in adult life; whereas deaf ness occurring in early childhood. after birth and under the age of 5, Is prob ably to large extent adventitious Where a tendency toward ear trouble exists in a family. # may lie dormant ana unsuspected until some serious ill- ness attacks member of the family, when the weakness is revealed and deafness Is produced. In such cases deafness is attributed to the disease and not to the weakness, although both are probably contributive causes.
 School Attendance.
 These who had attended school ferm- ed 7S.6 per cent of the deaf. or the totally deaf, 77.5 per cent had attended special schools, as compared with es per cent of the partially deaf. or those who lost hearing before they were years old. sf.5 per cent attended Spe- cial schools
 Occupations.
 Of those at least 10 years Of age among the deaf. 3S.5- per cent were sainfully employed. as compared with 5o.a rer cent among the general popu- latior.. Deafness is. therefore, to some extent a drawback in securing employ ment although the deaf. as class, can by no means be considered dependent of the deaf wno were gainfully em- ployed, s9.7 per cent were found in ee- equations in which perfect or ever partial hearing Is not essential It IS especially interesting to note that the deaf who had attended school showea a much larger per cent gainfuiiys efn, ployed than those who had not. anu that yvhethar the employment be skilled or unakiIied is largely determined by school astendance
