commitment in state hospitals has
been steadily increasing from 1920
to 1888.
1.-THE five years from 1884 to 1888
show q rise in total and yearly av-
erage admissions to the Middletown
State Hospital of more than ninety
per cent over the years 1920 to
1924" he said. TN addition, the
age Of persons entering has been
steadily rising as well as the rate"
Preliminary Commission studies
of tn commitment problem indi-
cate that the men and women over
sixty years of age is the biggest fac
tor in increasing insane hospital
admissions in this state. The COM
mission plans to meet with repre-
sentatives Of the Probate Assembly
in the near future to discuss the
subject.
Expensive Proceeding
Commitment proceedings are
necessarily complicated, and, In the
aggregate, expensive to the taxpay-
ers Of the state and the estates Of
thos individuals committed" Doc
tor Barker said in a statement is
sued today.
The increase in the average age
of our population is one reason for
the rise In age Of persons seeking
admission to institutions, he said.
Because Of improved health con-
ditions more persons live to an
older age through the prevention of
such diseases as typhoid and diph-
liberia"
Gas the average age of our popu-
lation increases we are confronted
with a new set of porblems. The dis.
eases of infancy have been replaced
by the diseases of old age as a major
Connecticut health problem"
Cairman Barker exprhessed the
opinion that the changing pattern
of family life today is also major
factor in increasing commitment of
aged individuals. "Since the family
no longer clings to the fireside it is
less convenient to have an elderly
person about the house and the dis
appearance Of the stigma once at
tached to the placement Of senile
persons in state institutions is also
to be taken into consideration"
To illustrate the increase in COM
mitments the commission has figures
which show that from 1920 to 1924
there were 1888 total admissions to
the Middletown state hospital. In
1884 to 1893 the figure had risen to a
total of 1928. The average yearly
commitment in the 1920-A period
were z58 and by the period 19S4-38
the average ad nearly doubled to 858.
so Years or More
From 1885 to 1888, q period Of four
years, 26 per cent Of all those admit
ted to Middletown for the first time
were sixty years Of age or over.
During the eighteen years which
began In 1920 and ended in 1888,
total OF 1880 died at the hospital. Of
which 1885, or IS per cent had been
confined for ten years or more. In the
period from 1895 to 1888 66.5 per cent
Of all patients who died at Middle
town state hospital were sixty years
of age and over.
The commission met today in a
conference with Mr.. Lester Shippee.

chairman. and the board Of trustees

union a new race was born.
But it was still small race, only
a few hundred thousands, when
Gustav in 1923, as "King of the
Swedes and Goths," made Finland
Lutheran, began his struggle with
Russia for mastery Of the Baltic.
Throu h this warfare, Finland, says
jackson, was the anvil on which
the fate Of northeastern Europe

The country was ravaged 200 years
during which time Sweden and
Russia alternately attacked each
other, draining Finland of its life

wiped out perhaps a third of Fin

Russians completed the disaster.

Finns-the race nobody knowsI
s Beginning in mystery, trekking
north 1000 years ago, merging with
the swedes to form still another
people: resigned, fighting; passive,
aroused; cautious, courageous;
neighborly but hating all Russians.
& Finns-a people definitely apart!
So j. Hampden jackson pictures
them In an impodtant book, Fin
land" just published by Mcmillan.
The Firms, says Jackson, have
been neglected by the historians.
But their stor.' is epic.
FINLAND,S WHOLE HISTORY
is STORY OF FIGHTING
= The Firms have survived incred-
IDLY long hardship, oppression, con-
quest, Of which the current Russian
attack is but one familiar chapter.
Finland was a buffer state, a
BATTLE-GROUND between Russian and
Sweden, between east and west for
SIX centuries. Finland was a vasSal
pdoyince of Russia for 100 years
thereafter. With the World war 1t
won independence but the struggle
went on, against both Communist
revolution and Fascist putsch. And
today Finland is still fighting, one
Of democracies' smallest but Stoutest
outposts.
! The epic of Finland Is like that.
It begins in the first Christian CEN
fury. But dimly.
"Who the Firms are We do not
know" asserts jackson; "all that
can be said with any certainty is
that they are a race apart. being
related to neither Teutons, Slavs,
or Maugols. Whence they came or
iginally is equally doubtful"
RELIEED RELATED
TO FIGHTING MAGYARS
It is supposed they migrated
from the lands between the Urals
and the Volga Some Of them, Mag
vars, turned south and settled in
the fertile Hungarian plain. Others
turned north. Ant. in the north they
fosand Finland, driving the few scat
tered Laps before them.
Over the Karelian Isthmus and
around Lake Ladoga, scene Of the
present heavy fighting, these first
Firms came, hunters, trappers, like
the first American pioneers. BY the
eighth century they had settled three
pSrts of Finland and the country's
history really had begun.
They were building log cabins,
starting an agriculture, composing
songs Of their heroes when the Vik-
ings raided first about the ninth
century. The Vikings passed on to
Russia but the. carried story back
to Sweden. And from that story Fin
lands contact with Sweden began.
King Eric Inadeit, together with
an Englishman, Henry Bishop OF
Uppsala. They led the first Swedish
crusade to Finland in 1854, forcing
Christianity n the Yinns "by fire
and sword" for which a peasant
killed Henry. Sweden, eventually,
annexed all Of Finland as abuffer
against Russia.
BATTLE-GROUND FOR RUSSO
SWEDISH WARS
"From this time onward" says
Jacks on, Finland became the
battle-ground of the two warning
states Of Sweden and Russia" It was
to know no peace for centuries.
But the Swedish conquest was
fortunate in that 1t saved the Firms
from the Germans who had en-
shaved Litvonia and Estonia. .......
