Upon the Earth.

National efficiency depends partly
on natural resources, partly on the
integrity OF social institutions, partly
on human vitality, and is a reaction
against the old fatalistic creed that

Longevity varies in different times
and places. The average length OF
life in Denmark and Sweden exceeds
80 years; in India II falls short of 25
In Europe II has increased In 35C
years from less than 20 to over &C
years, In Massachusetts, in less than
half century, 1t has increased five
years. AS longevity increases, NOR
tality decreases
The death rate in the registration
area" Of the United States is 16.5 per
thousand; in India II is about AZ per
thousand. In European cities 1t varies
from 16 to 40. The death rate has
been decreasing during several cen.
turtles. In the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries 1t was 40 to co.
and during the pest periods rose as
high as so. II is now 15. In Havans
the death rate after American occupa.
tion fell from over so to about 20.
The greatest reductions have been
effected among children. The mortal.

remained stationary, Special dis

typhoid fever, which in Munich, after
