The Blind and Deaf.

There Is a lot Of pathOs in the figures
which we find in the special bulletin
just issued by the census department
dealing with the unfortunate blind and
deaf people in the United States. Ac-
cording to this report one person in
every 1900 is blind and one person in
every 500 deaf in this country. The
total number Of blind in the United
States in 1900 was 64.7G3, of whom 35,-
645 were totally blind and 2911S par
TALLY blind. These figures, however. the
report says, can only be considered as
the minimum. as an unknown proper
ton of the blind were not located by
the enumerators. OF the total blind
81 ,O5i were males and 27,709 females.
Blindness is chiefly a defect of adult
life almost 65 per cent. of the blind be-
coming so after twenty years of age.
About one-tenth of the total number
Of blind were born 50. The number
of blind per 1000 of population was
greater among the negroes than among
the whites. and greater among the for
eign born whites than among the ma
tive whites. In about per cent. of
the cases of blindness reported the
parents Of the blind were cousins. OF
the blind whose parents were so relat-
ed Is per cent. were congenitally blind
while among the blind whose parents
were not cousins, the proportion con-
| genitaily blind was only 6.s per cent
OF the blind at least ten years of age
20 per cent. were engaged in some
1 gainful occupation. The percentage
of persons engaged in professional pur.
suits, trade and transportation and in
the manufacturing and mechanical in.
dustries is larger among the totally
blind than among the general popula.
ton.
Deafness, on the whole, the report
says, is more common in the northern
part of the United States than in tn,
southern and there are more deaf male.
than females. The total number O.
deaf in the United States is given a.

S9,2S7, of whom 37,446 were totally deaf
and 51,S61 partially deaf. From the
latter class. however, are eliminated
those merely hard of hearing"
The census report of 1880 gave the
number Of persons deaf as Ills. and
the opinion Is expressed that the re-
turns for 1890 are undoubtedly excess
sive while those for 1900 are deficient.
OF the totally deaf. 52.5 per cent. were
males. Negroes constitute 11.6 per
cent. Of the general population and only
80 per cent. Of the deaf. That the
negroes seem lees susceptible to deaf
ness than the whites, the report says.
is probably due in part to less COM
plete returns from the negro deaf. OF
the totally deaf, 81 per cent. were so
from childhood (under twenty years of
age) and 36 per cent. from birth. OF
the SO, 2S7 persons returned as deaf, 55,-
sol wer able to speak well, 9,417 imper-
fectly and the remainder not at all.
The report presents figures to show
that the schools for the deaf are doing
excellent work in teaching articulate
speech. When the subject of deafness
is considered from the point Of view Of
consanguinity it would seem that
heredity has played a 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 five, Is
probably to n large extent adventitious.
OF those at least ten years of age
among the deaf, 1856 per cent. were
gainfully employed, as compared with
5O.2 per cent among the general popu-
lation. Of the deaf who were gainful-
" employed, S9.7 per cent. were found
in occupations in which perfect or even
partial hearing is not essential.
