Extract

At the beginning of this century the high rate of “insanity” among immigrants was a matter of considerable concern in the U.S.A. and it has been used as one of the main arguments for curtailing immigration. The problem has been reviewed, and examined with modern statistical methods, by Ødegaard (1932) and Malzberg (1940).
