; per cent of ti e foreign-born white
population in the I'nited States, ten
years of a'e and older, according to
1920 census, was unable to speak Kng
liah, the census bureau announced to
day. The number was 1,488,9! 8 out of a
total foreign born population more
than ten years of age out of 13,107,880.
These figures compare with 2,953,011
non-English speaking foreign-born
residents, or 22.8 per cent of the total,
enumerated In the 1910 census.
Tho bureau attributed the decrease
to several carr.as, citing that, many
Immigrants wiu could not speak Eng
lish in 1910 haslnce learned the lan
guage, died or returned to their native
countries, that the number who could
not speak English arriving during the
last decade was smaller than in the
previous ten years and that a majority
that had come to this country prior to
August 11, 1914 had therefore had
time to learn the language-before the
census was taken.

The Company has accepted the' op

14,000,000 VISITS BY TRAINED
NURSES.
Free nursing service is given to In
dustrial policy-holders in 2.800 cities
and towns. Trained nurses not only
lical the sick but teach right living.
About H.OOO.IXO visits have been
made 2,116.875 in 1VH alone. JNum
erous letters tell of lives saved.
IIOW WAS IT DONE?
Records kept ky the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company show an extraordinary
decrease in the death rate among its Industriul, or weekly premium, policy-holders. Com
paring 1021 with 1911, for example, there were 35,000 less deaths in 1921 than there would
have been if the 191 1 death rate had prevailed.
What brought about the great saving of life?
' 0
The general public health movement - progress in medical science and sanitation -other
causes, perhaps. But a very great factor has been the tremendous health campaign
carried on by the Metropolitan itself. This page tells a part of the story.
