HOW INSANITY HAS GAINED
increase in United States Revealed by
Census Taken by National Germ
mittee for Mental Hygiene.

B Insanity in. the United States istde-
8eidedly on the increase. This fact is
revealed by reason of ascensus taken
1sof the insane. feeble-minded, epileptics,
yaebriates and drug addicts by the
karional Committee for Mental Hy-
sgteae. Analysis Of this census is found
lin the Mental Hygiene. 1t was COM
piled by Horatio M. Pollaek. statsticf-
iun Of the New York State Hospital
commission, and. Edith NJ. Furbush,
statistician of the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene.
The federal census bureau estimates
that the increase of population from
stApril 10, 1910, to January 1,s1917, was
11.S0 per cent. The same government
agency found in 1910 that the number
Of insane in Institutions was 1S7,791.
The census taken inathe present year
revealed 234,O55 insane persons in in
] Rtitutfons. Thus the increase in the
insane in institutions during the CORE
spending period was 24.64 per cent, a
growth more than double that OF the
general population.
Moreover, the rate of increase of the
insane in institutions was relatively
greater than that Of the general popu-
lation in every state except Arizona.
kansas, Mississippi, Nevada and South
Carolina. Illinois is one OF the states
III which the disparity between growth.
az population and increase in insanity
has been greatest. In this state the
nopulatfou Increase was 1854 per
,s.cent, as compared, with a percentage
sof increase Of insane In institutions Of
2 The neighbordng state Of Inti-
i ana shows an even greater disparity,
