With 24 social workers, he dug into the records of 89,000 mental patients who had passed through Massachusetts hospital doors in the turbulent years 1917-33. Last week he published New Facts on Mental Disorders (C. C. Thomas; $4.50), a statistical treatise on insanity in the U. S. His facts were startling, his conclusions encouraging.
