...Chief Statistician Louis I. Dublin of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. published surprising statistics on juvenile suicide in general. Among two million persons aged 15 to 19 the suicide rate for white boys was 6.7 per 100,000 in 1911, 6.16 in 1912. In 1913 it reached a maximum of 7.3 per 100,000. In 1923 it dropped to a minimum of 1.7. In 1925 and 1926 it rose to 3.9 per 100,000. Until 1921, more girls than boys aged 15 to 19 killed themselves. Lately the boy's rate has been the higher...
...Leonard P. Ayres, Cleveland statistician, sees the U. S. economic condition in the round. Said he last week: "There is evidence that the savings of the American people are so enormous that funds are pressing for investment on every hand.

Roger W. Babson, statistician, big-business-builder, efficiency expert, lately declared: "Higher education today is living in a fool's paradise."

Life's Worth. By intricate figuring, Dr. Louis I. Dublin, Metropolitan Life Insurance statistician, figured that a newborn baby is worth $9,333 to a family whose income is $2,500 yearly. Such parents spend $10,000 raising the child to the age of 18. Then, if it is a boy, he may be expected to earn (in excess of his expenditures) $29,000 the rest of his life. At 25, through elimination of less efficient competitors, his future income will total $32,000. But if he lives to 50, he will earn on the average only...
