NEARING ANSWERS
SOME CRITICISMS
Says Census Figures Justify
His Statements on City
Social Conditions

Editor OF THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Last spring / was asked to speak
In Wilmington about social adjust
ment and after analyzing the avail
able figures, / made some statements
regarding the statistics of social con-
ditions in Wilmington, which aroused
considerable opposition. AS receiv-
ed yesterday from the director of the
Census the advanced sheet giving the
population of Wilmington by wards
for the 1910 census. / take the earliest
opportunity 10 Justify my statements
of last spring. Comparing the popu-
lation statistics collected by the Cen
sus Bureau in 1909 with the death
rates from all causes. and from tu-
berculosis and typhoid fever present
ed by the Wilmington Board of Health
in its report for the year ending Do
cember 81, 1902, we get the following
table:
Evening journal., 1911-03-31
WILMINGTON.

BY examining this table you will
find that certain parts of the city Of
Wilmington appear to have a very
high death rate from all causes as
we'll as from tuberculosis and typhoid
fever. For example. in the First ward
the death rate is II from all causes.
IS for tuberculosis and % for typhoid
fever. In the Fourth ward. the rates
are 20. is and "a. In the Sixth, Is.
% and 16. In the Eighth. II, Is and
26. In the Tenth. 10. "a and 30. In
each Of these FIVE wards there is ap-
parently some cause or causes operat-
ing which create bad social conditions
and they in turn are. reflected in the
death rate. On the other hand, such
wards as the Fifth, with rates OF -,
Is and IA. the Seventh with death
rate of 10. is and 13. the Eleventh
with a death rate of IA. Is and 70,
are apparently more healthy wards
since the death rates are compara-
lively low
