The King William’s Town Hospitals, Kaffraria, show no admissions from either class. [Sidenote: Table U.] At Mauritius the admissions from brain and nervous diseases were 3·5 per cent. for men, and 2·7 per cent. for women, and the deaths 6·1 per cent. for men, and 1·9 per cent. for women. Liver disease is so rare as to be scarcely appreciable. [Sidenote: Table W.] A similar remark applies to the infrequency of liver disease in the Ceylon hospitals. In these hospitals, the admissions from brain and nervous diseases are 1·6 per cent. for men, and 3·2 per cent. for women. And the deaths 1·5 per cent. and 3·1 per cent. respectively. {13} [Sidenote: Table Y.] No liver diseases were admitted into the Canadian hospitals. And the brain and nervous diseases afforded 6·5 per cent. admissions, and 2 per cent. deaths for men, with 5·2 per cent. admissions and no deaths for women. * * * * * Results. These are the statistical results of this inquiry. To the extent to which the data are imperfect, the results are of course unreliable. The numbers are often much smaller than are required for such purposes. I have used them because the best obtainable, even with the assistance of the colonial governments; and the first lesson they teach is the necessity for assimilating the colonial registration and vital statistics to those at home. But, with all their defects, when these statistics are examined, they bring clearly into light certain great general facts. As regards the schools, they show us that the educational idea in the colonies is just as deficient as it is at home, and that it is attended with worse physical consequences. No account appears to be taken of the past history of the races on whom it is desired to confer the inestimable blessings of Christian civilization. Our teachers go among them just as they would into English villages. They collect the children who, together with their ancestors, have spent most of their existence in active out-door habits, into all classes of structures, good, bad, and indifferent, apparently without regard to the effect of local conditions on their health. In all probability the children are set together as close as they are placed in one of our Home “Model Schools,” without any reference to children’s epidemics or other fevers. This is not done without great risk, even with children of English birth. But to do this with children taken from their open air habits in uncivilized or semi-civilized communities is to incur the immediate danger of losing the most hopeful pupils by diseases, which, under a more rational system, might in all probability be avoided.
