Note 21 — THE PROBLEMS OF SUICIDE

For the suicide statistics embodied in this table I am largely indebted to the coöperation and assistance of Mr. M. L. Jacobson, of the Bureau of Statistics in Washington. In the literature of the subject there are no figures more recent than 1893 for most of the European countries. In this table they are nearly all later than 1900.

[22] The figures for Europe are from the latest reports of government statistical bureaus, and for America from the registration area covered in the twelfth census.
