Total persons 233 Number requiring slight skill 



Number of skiful mechanics 57 Number requiring no skill 73 



Number requiring school education ... 24 Number who have no occupation 64 



In a total of 233 persons, we find only 57, or 20.60 per cent, who 

 have a trade which requires skill, 24 occupations requiring school 

 education, 15 occupations that require but very slight skill, 73 

 requiring no skill, and 64 who have no occupation whatever. Of 

 the total occupations, numbering 169, we find 113, or over 66 per 

 cent, are of an essentially intermittent character, either by the in- 

 terruption of the seasons, the daily exigencies of the weather, or the 

 necessity of living away from home for longer or shorter periods. 

 If we add the 64 who have no occupation, then we have 76 per cent 

 who belong to the class who lack continuity of effort. But these 

 figures do not express the true case ; for it does not follow that even 

 those who have a trade have the perseverance to work steadily. 



Without entering into an extended argument as to why the 

 irregularity of diseased physical functions produces, at a second 

 remove, irregularity in the voluntary efforts which we familiarly 



* The occupations marked with asterisks are classed as intermittent industries.
