MONDAY DEC. Ia 1914,
THE INSANE IN AMERICA.

THAT in the six years from 1904 to 1910 there
increase Of twenty-five per cent. in the num-
Der Of insane persons reported in institutions is the
startling showing made by Dr. Joseph A. Hill in a
Government report the insane in institutions. That
report will be issued by the Director of the Cen
sus Reinsurance is found in tho fact that DIT. Hill
does contend that the increase in the population
Of such institutions shows corresponding increase
In insanity in this country It is partly attributable
70 better institutional provisions for caring for such
patients.
The number Of insane reported in institutions in
creased from 15O151 in 1904 to 1871 in 1910 The total
population OF the United States in the same interval
increased only 10 per cent Therefore the insane in
institutions increased twice fast the population.
In 1904 out Of every 100000 persons in the total popu
aton, 1874 reported in institutions for the nsane
by 1910 the number had increased to 2O4. In other
words in 1904, one person out of every 543
fined to institution for the insane; in 1910,
person out of every 400 There was similarly
marked increase in the number of annual admissions
these institutions 6O769 persons having been ad
mitted in 1870 compared with 1892 in 1904
increase of % per cent. The number OF admissions
per 100000 population increased from 81 in 1904 to
Sc in 1910.
These increases at least partly attributed TO
the extension Of the provisions made for the OF
insane persons and to the growth Of the practice of
placing them in institutions There is increasing
disposition and willingness the part of tho public
10 accept institutional treatment The Od-time horror
Of the lunatc asylum. fully justified perhaps by the
nhuman practices formerly prevailing in such inst-
tutions has largely disappeared. II is coming to
be recognized that the modern institution for the
insane is simply hospital for the treatment of mental
Diseases fulfilling essentially the purpose in the
community any other hospital for the sick In the
Interval between 1904 and 1910 the number of institu
lions for the insane increased from 1928 to 3e6. the
average number Of inmates institution increasing
from 45S to 512
The report shows that Notwithstanding these de-
Veopments the provisions for the institutional Of
he insane still very inadequate in most parts of
he United States There general complaints of
ercrowded institutions of the necessity of turn
ng patients away. Under such conditions the con-
struction Of new hospital for the insane the
tension of an existing may be followed by in
in the number OF insane in institutions with
being indicative of any increase in the prevalence
Of insanity in the community from which the patients
received. AT the time there has been great
Improvement in the agencies for discovering Of
insanity and bringing them under institutional

rrNHE old idea of the truant officer kid cop" is
Il passing away, according to w. S. Denenbaugh, OF
the United States Bureau OF Education, who has re-
Gently in conference with attendance officials from
all parts Of the United States The truant officer,
he says, Is of entirely different type, quite fire.
quently,> in fact, In several cities large
percentage OF truant officers college graduates; in
other cities they and women with experience
as social workers. but whether college graduates or
not they are required to know and understand the
home conditions Of school children.
Attendance officers of the new type interested
removing fundamental of truancy rather than
in merely catching the offenders. The chief cause OF
the failure to obe attendance laws according to the
National League Of Compulsory Education officials
is inadequate family life Resolutions adopted at the
recent meeting Of that organization, therefore, called
for adequate and uniform marriage and divorce laws
for the protection Of childhood enactment and en-
forcement of pertaining to the issuance of mar
rage licenses that will prevent child marriages and
prohibit the marriage Of persons physically, morally,
and mentally unfit to we'd" They urge that the
Juvenile courts be given definite authority place
parents as we'll children, probation for truancy
and delinquency; they ask better State supervision
of dependent children civil service for all truant Of
hcers; and the maintenance Of parental schools, spe-
cial rooms for truants and ncorrigbles and health
inspection schools material factors in child vel
fare.
The attendance officer of the type is to be far
better trained man and is to receive better
pay superintendent Of some Of the largest school sys-
TENS in United States joined in advocating mini
mum salary 500 per MONTH with services for twelve
months in the year in order that the officers may be

and girls.
The United states Bureau, of Education has agreed
to cooperate with the league Of compulsory school at
tendance officials in the collection of statistics bear
ing attendance problems AS part of the movement
for better attendance it has been urged that
nent census bureau be established and maintained in
every city in the United States
As Commissioner Of Education Wagner, of this state
has complained bitterly of the poor attendance in
OF our public schools in the rural districts it may not
be amss for the educational officials in Delaware to

MIXED STORM CASTS
GLOOM over CITY

A mixture of rain, hail and snow yes
terday resulted in an inch or two OF
slush which made the streets of the city
sloppy and minvitng. The first real
snowfall of the season soon melted as
the mercury climbed, and when it re-
ceded there was fall of hail, which
later turned to rain The entire day
was one of gloom and dreariness' most
persons preferring their fresides to the
bleak exterior and incidental navigation
of the slushy pavements.
Slippery rails interfered somewhat
with street ear traffic, but no damage
was reported either by the telephone ol
telegraph companies. Today the weather
is clear and cold.

THE TROUBLB ON THE BORDER,

A MERICANS living the Mexican border have suf-
fered much in consequence of the disorder that
for years has existed in Mexico. Some have been
killed others have been wounded and many have been
insultei and despoiled, by Mexicans with guns and
other weapons in hand.
AS result of the patiently waiting policy Of the will
administration most of those offenders have gone
unpublished II is pleasing to note however, that the
most recent shooting the border by the Next
has aroused that administration to send a few
troops to the of the trouble and to forward to
General Carranza a warning that unless he and the
other warning chieftains in Mexico see to il that
their followers firing the boundary line
the United States will force to put end to it,
Carranza's reply has reached the State Department
in Washington If it be in line with interviews he has
given since the utmatum sent to him. it will be far
from pleasing and satisfying to the American people
He declares that his troops, under the command of
General Hill have not done the firing as their backs
have been toward the American line In other words
he passes the responsibility to his political enemies in
Mexico Be that it may the Americans are heartily
tired of the discomfort and danger which they
subjected and the Mexicans transfer their fight
ing to points farther southwark or tax the conse-
quences. It is pity that neutral zone wide enough
to protect Americans cannot be established south of
the Rio Grande snd its neutrality preserved by the
agreement of all the begerar.ts. Such buffer strip
between peaceful America and war-riven Mexico would
serve exceedingly useful purpose.
