The not mentally defective are next in order with a rate of 26and the imbeciles third with a rate of 16. The morons show the lowest deathrate of 5 per 1,000 morons under treatment. A total of 16 patients died per 1,000under treatment during the year, 16 males and 16 females. The death rate forthe imbeciles was three times that of the morons. The rate for the not mentallydefective was five times that of the morons while the rate for the idiots was ninetimes that of the morons.
