INSANE STATISTICS.
Vermont Conditions Point to More
insanity in Cities.

Vermont Conditions Point to More
insanity in Cities.
The automobile makes tremend-
Gus figure in modern life in 1000 ways
but it is staggering to learn that it is
one of the agencies for the increase
OF patients in our hospitals for the
insane, says the Burlington News.
The reason is that the automobile
makes it possible to bring TO the hos
pitfalls patients in poor physical con-
dition. Il
! Other and large reasons for the
increase of the population of the in
sane hospitals are the extension of
the provisions made for the care of
insane persons and to the growth of
the practice of placing them in insti-
buttons; and y great Improvement in
the agencies for discovering cases of
insanity and bringing them under
institutional care.
The increase of the hospital insane
of Vermont 10 700 or 500, with a
yearly cost OF approximately $780,
600, gives us a practical interest in
the subject
Our facts are based on govern
ment bulletin. which also gives some
impressive figures. The number OF
creased from 150,l51 in 1904 TO 1877
791 in 191O-an increase of 25 per
cent in six years.
The total population of the United
States in the same interval increased
only II per cent. Therefore the in
sane in institutions increased twice as
fast as the population. In 1904, out
of every 100000 persons in the total
population. 1874 were reported in in
sttutions for the insane; by 1910 the
number had increased to 204. In
other words. in 1904, one person out
of every 54S was confined in an in
stitution for the insane; in 1910, one
person out of every 490.
There has been a popular impress
ion that the lonely isolation of coun-
try life is an important cause of in
sanity. The statistics, however, III.
dictate that more insanity is caused
| by the stress and strain. the keener
competition. the congested housing
conditions. and the vice and dissipa-
tion of city life
In proportion to population the
number of inmates of hospitals for
the insane received from urban COM
| rnunities is twice as great as tbs
number received from rural districts.

insane hospitals in 1910, 1864 came

bassy:
Il don't know what is thought In
America about this war. but l assume
that since its beginning the exchange
OF kilograms between his majesty. the

our emperor strove until the very last

"His efforts were destined to remain
futile because Russia was determined
TO have war at all hazards. while Eng

been fomenting enmity against the
German national spirit in Russia and

did opportunity to prove her oftassert-
ed desire for peace, when the test
came preferred 10 let this chance 30

with France and England could have
been avoided.
But the British policy knows no
moral scruples. And thus the Eng

a champion OF liberty and justice. has
allied itself with Russia, the spokes-
man OF the worst despotism. country

ious freedom and which treads under

well as OF individuals.
Already England must begin to see
that she has made a miscalculation.

now tries to injure Germany by the

| for the common civilization OF our
white race. England has provoked Ja-
pan to predatory raid upon our col

the negroes of Africa to battle against

After destroying Germany's means
