Description
We have only to examine the statistics furnished by the various countries in which attention is given to social science in order to be convinced that this increase both in the total number of the insane and in the ratio of insane to sane persons, has been going on for many years and is a phenomenon common to all parts of the civilized world.
It is no part of our present purpose to inquire concerning the causes operating to produce this observed effect, or to seek-means for the removal of those causes. It may be that those conditions of modern life which produce the trouble, are capable of correction by legislative action, by a less strenuous and more hygienic system of popular education, or by some other means to be discovered hereafter or it may be that those conditions constitute a necessary and unavoidable part of our environment, and that in spite of all we may do, they must continue to work until, by elimination and selection, the race shall become fitter than it now is to endure the conditions enforced upon it by modern progress.
