A previous investigation covering
the twcrty year period from 1867 to
1856, inclusive, had been carried out
by the department of labor. and Mr..
Carroll D. Wright, who was then com
missioner of labor, has been associ-
ated with the present inquiry as an
EXPERT special agent OF the census bu-
reau.
In the twenty year period covered by
the latter investigation there have
been 1882 Oh marriages recorded. In
the same time there have been a5.G2o

years there lad been reported 3eS, l6

the number for the second twenty
year period When the first investiga-
ton was instituted, forty years ago.
| divorces occurred at the rate Of 10Cj)
| a year. Now the annual rate is C6GG0.
| This increase, however, is to be con
| s;Gered in connection with increase in
: population.
| The report adduces statistics to
] show that divorces are now increasing
| about three times as fast as popula-
ton, while during the decade 1870
1880 they increased only about two
| and two-thirds as fast. The divorce
rate for each 100000 of population in
creased from twenty-nine in 1870 to
cighty-two in 1905. In the former year
there was one divorce for every 3.441
persons and in the latter year one for
| every 1918. .
| But a more significant divorce rate
is that which is based not upon totai
population, but upon married pcpula-
ton. The rate for each 100000 mar
ried population was 81 in the year 1870
and 200 in the year 1900.
Geographically Illinois leads in total

vious twenty years it had been 15,-
