SURVEY
amazing
Washington, March 17. In a re
port of the United States public
health service entitled "Public
Health and the Submerged Classes,"
the bureau quotes at length from al
recent survey conducted in Oregon,
saying: - ? :"M if- f '"-'-:':
"That more than 75,000 men, women,
and children out of m total population of
781,000 are dependents, .delinquents, or
feeble minded and are unable either 'to
work or fight and are a constant drain
on the finances, health and morality of
the state is the startling result brought
out by a survey conducted in Oregon.
Moreover, more than 600 school children
out of a total school enrolled population
of 12.600 were found to be more or less
mentally deficient, a fact which is of
much significance when it is remem
bered that the condition of the children
of today Is the best possible index to
the condition of the community of to
morrow and Indeed to, the. future of the

"The figures yielded by the Oregon
survey ere considerably lower than the
average shown by the draft examination.
a fact that Indicates, in the opinion of
the United States public health service
officers, that : they - are certainly not
higher than those that would be ob
tained by similar surveys in other states.
It is considered greatly to Oregon's
credit- that it has been one or the iirst
states to realise the Importance of the
problem and to take effective steps to
ward ascertaining the exact facts con
cerninr It. -
"The survey was authorised by the
Oregon legislature and was carried out
by the University of Oregon In collabor
ation with Dr. C X Carlisle ot the Unit
ed States nubile health service,
The making of the survey said
Surgeon General H.' S. Cummlng. "was
not an easy task, for In Oregon, as In
many other states, comparatively few
of the types involved are being cared for
in Institutions. - The rest are widely
scattered and were practically un
known, for most of them are Quiet and
do not attract attention as do the in
sane and criminal. It was. therefore.
necessary to build an organisation to
find them and report on them.
"As there was little money to pay
trained workers. Dr. Carlisle enlisted
volunteers, largely among (he profes
sional classes In every part of the state.
and. through these, found the people
sought and collected data concerning
their behavior, present history, school
history, social relations (whether de
pendent, delinquent, or feeble-mraded),
the cause of their condition, and so on.
