The most suggestive indication
OF the average mental status OF
our recent immigration Is found
In the recently collaied stats
tics as TO the prevalence OF in
sanity among the immigrant popu-
lation.
According to the special report
OF the Bureau OF the Census. the
total number OF white insane in
the hospitals OF the United States
on January i. 1910. was I6s.4ss:
and OF these 54.0s6. or Just under
one-third. were foreign-born.
Otherwise. stated. II appears
that our insane hospital popula-
uon OF 1910 represented 1857 ma
uve white individuals per 100. 900
native white population; whereas
the foreign-born whites showed
4O53 insane per 100. 700 OF the to-
tai population. The relative fire.
quency OF insanity among the
foreign-born or immigrant popula-
ton Is shown In another way by
the figures which tell US that 2Ss
per cent. OF the total population
OF our hospitals for the insane are
foreign-born. whereas only 14.5
per cent Of the total population is
foreign-born. The offspring OF the
newcomers r also prone TO men
tal overthrow. for we find in the
asylums. among the native whites.
623 individuals OF foreign or
mixed parentage per 100000 OF
population. as against sos of ma
tive parentage.
Again. the state commission OF
lunacy OF New York recently pub
lished statistics showing that OF
the patients under treatment in
institutions for the insane. 4l9
per cent. are aliens. Foreign
born patients have increased since
b federal census of 1903 by 1874
per cent. In the two state hos
pitfalls for the criminal insane
nearly 44.4 per cent. OF the in.
mates are OF alien birth. Yet the
federal census OF 1910 shows that
the percentage OF aliens to the to-
tai population in the state is only
1913 per cent. Foreign-born in.
