Excerpt from Benevolent Institutions, 1910 The inmates were classified by sex, age, color, na tivity and race, naturalization, legal residence, liter acy, education, ability to speak English, marital con dition, health (whether in good health, ill, insane, blind, deaf-mums, idiots, crippled), occupations prior to admission to institutions, and cause of depend ence. The classification of children in institutions was further extended to cover the questions of legitimacy, orphanage, abandonment, and institutional births. The statistics were arranged in a great variety of combinations, so as to make the presentation as com plete as possible. It appeared, however, that the replies were by no means satisfactory, and although the percentage of error, in the view of the writer of the report, was not such as to invalidate conclusions, it was large enough to raise a question as to the real value of the investigation, in view of the labor and expense involved and the degree of completeness attained.
