the mortality of males in general. Before this age
there is a considerable excess of phthisis among commercial
clerks, and a corresponding defect of phthisis
among carmen, etc. It is hardly likely that these
variations are to any extent occupational. It is much
more probable that the occupations have been originally
selected for reasons of physical fitness or the reverse."
Nevertheless, it cannot be urged too strongly that offices
in which clerks work should conform to the standards of
health. Nor, while pushing that point, should we forget
that, while clerks spend 44 hours of the week in their office
environment, they have to spend over 100 hours of the week
in the environment of the tram, train, and bus, and finally
of their home.

* Density of Population Per Acre.
The object of the accompanying Tables is to show, in
relation to certain sex-age groups in Camberwell approximately
calculated on the basis of the Census of 1921, the
number of primary notifications of and deaths from
pulmonary and other forms of tuberculosis during 1923.
