ORIGINS OF DEAF MUTES AND BLIND 221 DEAF MUTISM AND BLINDNESS Tables 138 and 139 show the numbers of deaf-mutes and blind in Canada with the wumber per 100,000 for each important origin. The French, with 87.8 deaf mutes per .00,000, show the highest rate of all groups in Canada (Table 138). The Germans come next, with a rate of 71.9 per 100,000. The lowest was the Italians, with only 29.4 deaf mutes per 100,000, while the Russians rank next to the Italians with 40 per 100,000. The English speaking stocks show approximately 50 deaf mutes per 100,000 of the population. Table 139, showing the blind by origin for the year 1921, presents one startling fact: 209 indians out of every 100,000 in Canada are blind, a rate nearly 12 times the size of that of the Russians ‘and over four times the average for the English speaking stocks. It is interesting to note that the proportion of blind among the Germans, Italians and Russians is lower than among the French and English speaking stocks in Canada.
