Excerpt from A First Study of the Relation Between Percentage of Illiteracy and Death Rate in American Cities
The effort was made in this study to secure from as large an experience as possible, taking into consideration the time available to work on the problem, figures on percent of illiteracy, to correlate these figures with death rates from various diseases, and as many other variables as my time would permit, and, by the method of partial or net correlation, to hold these variables constant and thus more accurately.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex relationship between illiteracy, race, and public health in the early 20th century United States. The author meticulously analyzes data from over 400 cities, uncovering startling correlations between illiteracy and higher death rates, particularly from infectious diseases. Notably, the research reveals a significant disparity in mortality rates between illiterates and the literate population, suggesting that education plays a crucial role in improving health outcomes. The book further examines the influence of race on health, highlighting a higher prevalence of fatalities from certain diseases among African Americans. This raises important questions about the intersection of social and economic factors in shaping health disparities. By exploring these correlations, the book underscores the profound impact of education and access to healthcare on the well-being of individuals and communities. It argues that addressing illiteracy and health inequities is essential for creating a more just and healthy society.
