AUDITORIUM

The Shirley Co. is also furnish
ing an emotional bill this week in
Camille" which opene dto a big
house last night with Jessie Shir-
ley in the title role. The scheme
of the play Is familiar to all theater
patrons, but there was every evil
dence Of intense interest at the
opening performance, a deserved
tribute to the manner In which the
drama was presented. Both Miss
Shirley and George McQuarrie sus.
tanned the leading parts creditably
and the balance of the small cast
was adequate. The costuming is
one of the features of the produc-
ton.

the scene is laid in France in the
middle ages and the play Is very
poetical, the faculty considers that
no harm will be done.

insanity and the Nation.

Not long ago the United States cen.
sus bureau issued report which
should have provoked instant and
widespread discussion. OF all the
publications giving the results of the
twelfth census there is hardly any of
such importance to the American peo-
pie. For in language the most ex-
plicit, and supported by statistics
gathered with the scrupulous care that
has characterized all the enumerations
of the latest census, 1t reveals the ex-
istence of conditions making strongly
against the continued prosperity of the
United States and its continued prog
ress to headship among nations. The
reference is to the special report on
Insane and Predetermined in Hos
pitfalls and Institutions" At first
glance" remarks III. Arlington Bruce
in North American Review, nothing
alarming is to be seen in the state
ment that in 1908 there were in the
insane asylums of the country total
OF 150,151 inmates. What is this, it
may be asked, in population exceed
ing SO,OO0,000? But the matter quick
ly assumes another aspect when it is
observed that in 1890, the year of the
preceding census, the insane asylums
held only 74,02S unfortunates; and
that, ten years earlier. the asylum
population was but 4O,492. In other
words, there has been a progressively
more rapid increase in insanity than
in population. Just what the differ.
ence is it is impossible to say. statis-
tically 1t is enormous.
