CORONER .HOEFMAN'S REPORT
is NOT PLEASANT READING
Coroner Peter Hoffman has COM
pleted his biennial report for 1912
and 1913. In the preface he an
noUnces "it is not meant for pleas
ant reading" He is right.
It is not pleasant reading. On the
contrary it might be called CHASTITY
reading. 1t tells of 10,992 deaths in
Chicago. And under normal circUm-
stances over half could have been
easily prevented.
Hoffman has been handling the
sudden and violent deaths in Cook
county so long that he regards death
as a scientist regards it.
To the death situation in Cook
county he applies Herbert Spencer's
law Of momentum, HOffman's an
alysis might be called humorous if it
were not so grim. By the law of
momentum" he figures that 10000
persons are now contemplating end
ing their lives. .. .- i
Parker H. Sercombe, statistician of
the coroner's Office, and Hoffman
have coIIaborated on the report. To
back up their momentum" theory
they give the following reasoning:
I'VE know" the report reads, that
in 1914 approximately 1000 persons
in Cook county will attempt suicide;
that of these about $50 will succeed,
and that there are about 10000 peo-
pie contemplating suicide all the
time, a percentage of whom, with the
constant accretions, will form the
suicide rolls Of the coming years.
$50 uniform is the operation of |
the natural law which controls the
fate of mankind that we know under |
the present conditions that in 1914,
and until new educational systems
have had a chance to take effect, |
about $50 will use carboic acid, Is |
corrosive sublimate, Z cyanide of |
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-05-11

| cides.
Suicides increased from 523 in
1911 to 554 in 1912 and 572 in 1913.
This is a remarkably rapid increase,
far in excess of the increase in popU-
lation. 1t is a special doctrine of So
biologists that the number of suicides
in any community is a reliable gauge
by which to measure the cOmmunity's
efficiency in the line of social justice.
This increase should become the sub
ject of thoughtful inquiry on the part
of educators, mOralists and social
workers.
by far the greater part of suicides
can be traced directly TO economic
pressure-to low wages" said Ser
combe. 81 am also compiling some
health, fire and school statistics and l
find the effect of economic pressure
there also"
Sercombe is planning some new
figures of this kind that will show
that thousands Of people lose their
courage and end their lives after a
struggle with the cost of living.
