Since the exact rate of recovery from schizophrenia is still unsettled, it may be of interest to learn the results of a carefully prepared follow-up study of all U. S. soldiers diagnosed as schizophrenics in St. Elizabeths Hospital, Washington, D. C., during the years 1926 to 1935 and subsequently discharged from the hospital and from the army: 28.4 per cent were found well adjusted in the community, 25.2 per cent showed, under assistance, acceptable adaptation, 34.7 per cent were in mental hospitals, 2.3 per cent in jail, and 9.4 per cent died.
