The congestion is increased by the necessity for many families to take in lodgers either to pay high rentals or to meet substantial payments o n homes under purcliase. “In these dense neighborhoods over-crowding saps vitality and moral vigor. Many people attribute the excessive Negro death-rates from tuberculosis, pneumonia and the disease of infants to inborn racial traits; others attribute crimes of violence and irregularities in family life to peculiar emotional equipment of people of African descent. Whether or not these conditions are influenced to some extent by heredity, the institute’s study of the effects of environment indhales that they are also profoundly influenced by the condi-

tions of life in cities.

“In Philadelphia, where it was possible to get data for the Negro population, the ward with the iov,f est density—63.6 per acre— was found to have had in 1924, 236 Negro • deaths from tuberculosis per 106,066 population, while the deaths under one year per 1,000 births were 8.9. The corresponding figures for th eward with, the great j est. density—170.4 to the acre-—-! same general relation of density were 460 and 13,2. Evidence of the I to death* rate was found in other j

cities.
