But . the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com pany has made a study which show* that the lives of the ancients were scarcely less precarious. Out of a representative sample of' .275 , celebrated Greeks and Roman* 136 came . to violent ends nearly half. Tlfe skeptical vital statistician approaches tiously. violent more attention than deaths from prosiac disease. ’So he casts about arid finds a supplementary grouping of 126 the causes mpf' whose ends were not recorded. By adding these to the original 275 he obtains a total, of 401. But the violent deaths still amount to34percent_____________i. Perhaps those who died, with their boots on. were soldiers and advefn-' turers. If„so, the statistics are not to be wondered at. So the statist ician classifies the 401 names into callings—statesmen,, soldiers, philo sophers, authors. It turns out that of 180 statesmen 115 came to violent ends—64 per cent. Including those who died from unknown causes the total amounts'’ to 222 and the per centage to 52. Life is. today no moile perilous than it was in ancient times. In spite of all our homicides, suicides' and accidents only- 9.5 per cent, of the general population dies violently. ‘‘These figures are riot so widely dif ferent from th© 12 per bent, which we have noted as-characteristic of persons following peaceful pursuit* in-antiquity”, j Warfare today is not much mbre terribre than it was. in ancient times,- Ainong the French the proportion of deaths in battle and from wounds in the World War was 41.8 per cent* in the entire male : population of . military age over the period of the war; $mong the Germans, 42,4 per cent.; among the- British, 33.8 per cent,, and Qrnong th© Italians, 22,1 per cent,.
