In much of the current discussion
of housing and city-planning, the
need of a basis of observed 'act is
apparent. A recent analysis by
halniers, the medical officer of Glas
gow, oi conditions in Glasgow Is an
mportant contribution to the diffl-
■u 11 problem of house-room end
death-rate. An examination of the
age distribution of the population
of Glasgow showed that n consid
erable proportion of the difference
ill the death-rate recorded for dwell
ings cl various size could be as
cribed to the large number of chil
dren III the smaller houses.
Tin* number of children under 5
years constituted lb per cent, of the
total population living in one-roo.ii
house*, H jer cent. In two-room, 7
per .-ent in three-room and only -1
four per cent, in houses of four
rooms and upward.
Further analysis, however, showed j b]y jl3 inattent | on
I that simple differences in age dis
tribution would no*, explain alto
gether the differences in death-rate
in houses of various sizes. Assum
ing a standard age and sex distribu
tion, it was found that a population
of 100,000 with the Glasgow death-
rate would yield 2,024 deaths an
nually In one-rroom houses, 1,6X3 i t
*wo-room, 1,263 in *.hree-room and
1.032 in houses of four or more
rooms, while in institutions the
death problem becomes very com
plex. In infectious diseases, includ
ing pneumonia, the higher rate fell
on the smaller houses . Diseases ot
the nervous system In adults, on tli*
other hand, were apparently more
prevalent among the inhabitants of
the larger houses. Chalmers re
gards the evidence as showing that
th* children born In the smaller
houses are from the start under a
serious physical handicap which in
related to some extent to the food-
supply. This could be traced 'o
prevalence In this group of various
forms of disease of the digestive
organs. "In later life the influence
of the birth surroundings did not
wholly disappear, but these were
obscured by the influences of adult
life, which, as 1n the case of dis
eases of the nervous eystem, tended
to become degenerative in type, and
appeared more frequently among the
occupants of house* of larger size."
Whether or not these particular
There (seems a disposition on the
part of the legislature, fearlessly and
soberly to tackle the problem which
the states financial conditions pre
sents. There is a keen disposition
on the part of the members of the
Legislature to dispose of that per
plexing problem In a manner which
will reflect credit u;on its members 1
and relieve the state of the eniliar-
rahsni'nt which It has been caused.
The tangled condition of affairs is
to be thoroughly probed by the most
intelligent and experienced men o f
both houses and it is probable that
something may be done to rectify
1 existing conditions. Some of the
J newspapers of the state and politi
