"The statistics of the defective classes in Canada are given in this bulletin by electoral districts and provinces. For the first time in census taking in Canada an effort has been made to differentiate as between the insane and the idiotic or feeble-minded. In previous censuses the records for the latter class were either not obtained or were included with the records of insane under the general heading 'Unsound Mind ... .The number of blind in 1911 was 3,238; of deaf and dumb 4,584; of insane 14,702; and of idiotic 5,387; making a total of defectives of 28,611, of which 15,530 were males and 13,081 were females'"--p.
