Presented Statistics Showing Growth
Of Insanity In
r Michigan
Some 1t or 12 years ago the Pitis-
borg milliooaire Thaw shot Stanford
White to the Madison Square gardi-
ens. lHe was adjudged criminally in-
sane, sod committed to Mattewan. No
man to history lass received more
space to the newspapers of the coun-
try than hie, sod the Ipeople at large
still have insanity to fall hark o
when other topics for spiy convet'sa-
tion are lackintg.
Tuesday evening Prof. A. M. Barrett,
of the medical school, lectured in the
west lecture coons of the phsysical lab-
oratory. It was the tenth numbser uon
Ithe prograna of sumsmer lectures.
Seats were at a premiums. The am-
phitheater was filled, ansd several pee-
sons walked away disgruntled. he-
cause they could not obtain a chair.
Women students and Ants Arbtor ladies
formed the greater part of tihe atud-
iene. It was the largest crowd thsat
has assembled at any of the lectures
this summer.
No one left tlae hall before the fis-
ish of the talk, and frost thse remarks
when the end finally came tlhe lecture
was altogether too shourt. Tihe stab-
ject was: "The Extent ad Causes of
Insanity and Feeble-minsdednsess itt
The basis for Dr. Barrett's lectusre
was the report of tlte commttissiont ap-
pointed by thte legislature of Michigan,
to investigate insantity and feeble-
mindedness its ftse state. 'is com-
mission, of which Dr. Barrett was evi-
dently a memober, worked for two
years to ito search for causes anti sta-
tistics, and the fintal report was ntu
returned until last Ray.
Dr. Barrett presentted his figures
Sand results by means of charts wvhichs
were throwvn upon a acceen. Intsatn-
ity, according to this sturvey is ott thte
inctresse itt Michtigats, for in 1890 titers'
were but 1652 personts ins the state in-
stitutions, while itt 1914 this nuntber
had increased to t95t. In 7981, 3.3 per
cent of the populatiotn were insane; in
1914 this percetntage tad growvt to 4.3
per cent. At presettt 27 ottt of l0,000
personts its Micitigant are beintg treated
in hospitals attd sanitariutts for thte

.Dr. Barrett broutt ottt itt a very
striking manntet' thte relation betwett

problem, "Sevettty-twvo per cettt of

tution for gitls at Adrittt sre abttor-

MAKES L.ASTl'APPEARANCE 'TODAY
Dr. Abrm Simoss, the Washaington
rabi, presented a clear and vivid pie-
turee of Jewisha education fros thbs eat'-
hieat Biblical tises up to abut lt'e
sixth cesntury, in hsis lectures Tuesday
and Wedshmday after'noons.lDe. Sion
is a flsuent speaker, forceful asnd pleas-
isng; has has sonsethaing to say, asnd says
it directly anad withosut loss of titms st
words.
He contended that Jewish education
seas of suds significance thsat asspros
fessor or educator writing a history of
educatiosn, couhld afford to nteglect it,
butl msut give to thse subject ftse pro-
founadest conasidertionand stusdy, fore
it (thes eduations of thse anenst Jean)
struck to the hart and consciene' of
maat as no othser systems ever las'don~te.
In Tuesday's discussion the lecturer
explaissed thse Biblical era, whichs he
assered was built usa the ideals of ftse
Bible. "Every phase of life" said lie.
Simoun, "went towards the developmenst
of chsaracter upon a religious basis.
The very bottom rock upona whaichs Jew-
ish educatin was built is foundintshet
ideals of the Bible.
"The development of spiritual cul-
ture is the highest ideal of assliindivid-
ual or a nation. Jewish education was
national. Muses was the only mats in
ancient history who attempted to ed-
ucate a station. Today we are always
looking for personal liberty in our ed-
ucation and in our salvation. In the
tose of Muses ouch a question- was
never considered. Their thught al-
ways was of national good.
The lecture yesterday afternuossnvas
