FRIENDLY SOCIETIES (THIRTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT BY THE REGISTRAR OF).

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly pursuant to " The Friendly Societies Act, 1882," Section 5, Subsection (8).

In a forecast of the future, the probability of correct prophecy depends upon a careful attention to the history of the past. That there is no possibility of gauging the future with perfect accuracy by no means lessens the responsibility of the leaders of friendly societies. Among the various arguments put forward impugning the correctness of the assumptions on which is based the method adopted by this office in the actuarial valuation of societies, it has been very confidently affirmed that the influence of climatic and social conditions in this colony would manifest itself in a sickness experience greatly in favour of New Zealand as compared with that of England. Necessarily many years must pass before the total sickness of all the societies here, including many recently established, can be fairly compared with any tabulated result of Home experience ; and if a society shall decline to raise its rates of contribution on the ground that it will be soon enough to do so when a table of New Zealand sickness can be compiled from adequate statistics it will probably by that time have drifted into a position beyond hope of recovery. In the absence of data sufficient and complete for the whole of life it becomes a duty to be guided by such general indications as are furnished by facts that have been disclosed. In order, therefore, that a comparison might be instituted at once, the Eegistrar, in preparing his recently issued address to friendly societies, computed the sickness experience, for 1888, of New Zealand lodges which had been established twenty years and upwards. On comparing the result with the experience of the English M.U.1.0.0.F. for the quinquennium 1866-70, it was found that, notwithstanding the comparatively small percentage of members in the societies of this country above sixty years of age, the sickness rate for the year specified had exceeded the English standard by more than 10 per cent. The rate for 1889 is still higher. In the Otago District M.U.1.0.0.E., the average sickness per member at risk in the eleven oldest lodges during the year 1889 was 1-935 weeks, or an excess of nearly 30 per cent, above the English M.U.1.0.0.F. experience. The valuers of this society also report for the entire district au increase of nearly 10 per cent, in the sickness experience of the quinquennium 1885-89 as compared with that of the quinquennium 1875-79. Apart from this brief reference to fresh facts in support of the advice which has been given to unsound societies, the Eegistrar deems it unnecessary to repeat the warning which was contained both in last year's report and in the address to which reference has already been made. 2. A remarkable illustration of the variation in the rate of sickness is furnished by a comparison between the experience of the Marlborough Lodge for eleven years (1879-89) and that of the Eenwick Lodge for the same period, both lodges being branches of the Marlborough District M.U.1.0.0.F. While the average number of members in these two lodges was as 3to 1, the average number of members sick was as 7to 1; the average amount of annual total sickness was as 14 to 1, and the sick-pay as 10 to 1. In the Marlborough Lodge the sick-pay has absorbed almost the whole of the premium income, whereas in the Eenwick Lodge only 29 per cent, of the premium income was drawn for this purpose, leaving 71 per cent., together with the interest thereon, to swell the accumulated funds. In the Marlborough Lodge the average sickness per member was 77 per cent, above, and in the Eenwick Lodge 62 per cent, below, the average for all New Zealand societies. 3. The percentage of members sick and the average sickness per member at risk in lodges containing one hundred members and upwards at the beginning of the year, given in graphic form in Appendix 11., also affords evidence of the wide limits within which the fluctuation of the experience of single lodges ranges. 4. The attention of societies is specially called to section 14 (10) of the Friendly. Societies Act, which makes illegal the application of the funds of a friendly society " to purposes other than those " expressed or directed in the rules of the society, and authorised by this Act."

5. A valuable contribution to vital and health statistics by Mr. Francis G. P. Neison, F.1.A., has been recently published, relating to the experience of the Independent Order of Eechabites, Salford Unity, for the years 1878-87. Appendix 111. contains extracts showing the most important results of this investigation. The death-rate of the society is exceedingly light, while the sickness experience, although exhibiting differences in groups of ages, when regarded as a whole is found not to vary much from that of the Foresters and Odd Fellows. 6. A scheme for the establishment of a National Pensions Fund in England has been propounded in a paper read before the British Association, at Newcastle, by the Eev. W. Moore Ede, M.A., Sector of Gateshead. Eeference is made to Canon Blackley's national insurance scheme, and it is alleged that the Select Committee which was appointed to consider that scheme reported as to its soundness, if the element of sick-pay were eliminated. Eeference is also made to the establishment of national insurance in Germany. A precedent and analogy is found in the Compulsory Education Act; and it is asserted that the English nation is gradually directing its efforts to supplement individualism by national measures. Praise is accorded to the voluntary efforts of friendly societies and other organizations for thrift; but it is affirmed that no provision has been made by them for old age. The terrible misery of those whose dread of the workhouse in prospect is almost as great a trial as its realization is depicted. The large percentage of those who reach old age is stated; and it is explained that, in order to provide the very smallest pittance in the shape of a deferred annuity, commencing at the age of sixty or sixty-five, payment must be made in early manhood, and it is proposed to extend such payment over three years. It is argued that the sacrifice thus demanded would be compensated for by the sense of security which it would afford against fear of absolute destitution in old age. Eeference is made to the fact that in Germany and Denmark employers are required to contribute a fixed share towards such pensions, and that the sum is further supplemented by State aid, and it is argued that such a system is fair. Only one detail of the scheme is set forth— namely, that all persons should be entitled to the pension as a right. It is argued that, the d.eferred-armuity portion of insurance being thus provided for, the contributions to benefit societies for aid in sickness, &c, would be lightened, and only those who had evaded the obligation of the compulsory scheme would have to suffer the hardship of a pauper's lot. 7. A friendly society case was recently tried in England, in which the defendants were trustees of a lodge of the M.U.1.0.0.F., who, without the knowledge or consent of the Board of Directors, had, contrary to the provisions of the rules of the Order, appropriated and divided part of the lodge funds. There could not be any doubt as to the illegality of such action, but one remark of the Judge before whom the case was brought has a general and very important significance. In answer to an application for costs, the Judge said that, while admitting that the defendants did not intend to deal with the money in any way that they thought to be either fraudulent or wrong, he could not pay attention to the argument put forward by the counsel for the defence, that the trustees were ignorant of their own laws. "If," he said, "there is an ignorance that ought never to be " excused, it is an ignorance of the laws under which they were acting as trustees for a body of " men who were in all probability as little able to protect themselves as they could be, and who " therefore required the protection of these trustees, who, as a rule, are officers standing on a rather " higher social position than the people for whom they are the representatives as trustees." In connection with this subject it may be mentioned that an able series of papers, by Mr. S. G. Johnson, Town Clerk of Nottingham, on the duties and responsibilities of trustees, appeared last year in the Odd Fellows' Magazine. , It is probable that the papers will be published in. pamphlet form. 8. Information as to the forms kept in the Eegistry Office for the convenience of societies and sent free on application is to be found in Appendix V. Eegistration of Societies and Branches. 9. The total number of registrations during the year 1889 was 23, distributed as follows : M.U.1.0.0.F., 4 lodges; 1.0.0. F., 4 lodges; A.0.F., 5 courts; 1.0. E., 2 tents; S.D.T., 1 division; W.M.C, 2 clubs; 1.5.5., 5 societies. 10.

22. Averages and percentages deduced from the tabulated returns for the years 1880-88 are given in Appendix I. 23. It has been represented to the Eegistrar that the addition of a table showing the membership and funds of societies as at the end of the year immediately preceding the date of issue of the annual report is desirable. Although, owing to the fact that some returns are not supplied punctually, and that some contain errors which cannot be corrected in time for publication, it is not possible to compile such a table in a complete and accurate form, it has been decided to comply with the request as far as possible. It must therefore be understood that the table (Appendix IX.) is issued subject to correction. For the same reason totals have been omitted. If the annual returns were furnished with promptness and accuracy it would be possible to append to each report complete tables of statistics for the year ended the 31st day of December last past. It may, however, be observed that the general interest and value attaching to the statistics of mortality and sickness is not diminished by the fact that their issue is somewhat delayed. Although each additional year's experience is an important link in the chain of evidence which is being collected, yet the annual extension of the area of observation is too slight to render its tabulation a matter of special urgency. Valuations. 24. The valuations of the under-mentioned societies were made as at the 31st December, 1888 :— M.U.l.O.O.F.—Hokitika District, Invercargill District. U.A.O.D.—Lodges Star of Ashburton, Bishop, Brunner. I.O.E.—Star of Hope Tent. New Zealand E.E.B.S. 25. Summaries of the results of the valuations are given in two tables (Appendix VI.). Table A shows— 1. Number of members at the date of valuation ; 2. Present value of benefits; 3. Present value of contributions to benefit funds; 4. Value of accumulated benefit funds ; 5. Surplus or deficiency; 6. Average surplus or deficiency per member; 7. Average age of members ; 8. Average annual contribution, per member, to benefit funds ; 9. Average value, per member, of accumulated benefit funds ; 10. Eate of interest, per annum, credited to benefit funds (average for quinquennium); 11. Surplus or deficiency at previous valuation (average per member). Table B shows— 1. Eatio to liabilities of— (a) Present value of contributions to benefit funds ; (b) Value of accumulated benefit funds; (c) Total assets ; (d) Surplus or deficiency ; 2. Causes of surplus or deficiency. For convenience of publication the causes assigned for the surplus or deficiency disclosed by valuation are indicated in Table B by means of letters referring to a list prefixed to the table.

Of these members, during ten years, 1878-87, were sick 3,725, or 55-2 not sick 2,453, „ 36-4 died 570, „ 8-4 Number of members who became free, 1878-87 ... ... ... ... 30,216 Of these, during the ten years, were sick ... ... 12,001, or 39-7 not sick ... ... 17,745, „ 58-7 died ... ... 470, „ 1-6 Total number of members who came under observation ... 36,964 Number of members who withdrew, 1878-87 ... ... ... ...12,955 Of these, during the ten years, had been sick ... 3,930, or 30-3 not been sick ... 9,025, „ 69-7 Number of members who died ... ... ... ... ... 1,040 Of these during the ten years bad been sick ... 877, or 84-3 „ „ not been sick ... 163, „ 15-7 Total ceased to be members ... ... ... ... 13,995 Difference, or number of members in the tents 31st December, 1887 ... 22,969 Total weeks of sickness paid for in respect of all above members, ten years Weeks. Days. (1878-87) ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 180,210 1 Of this amount, for members who died ... ... ... ... 33,155 3 „ remainder ... ... ... ... ... 147,054 4 Thus, of the members in the order at the Ist January, 1878, embraced in this investigation more than one-half of them whilst under observation during the next ten years had occasion to claim sickness-pay, and 8 per cent, died during the same period. Compared with the figures for the entrants during the decenniad 1878-87 these proportions of sickness-claimants and deaths appear high, but the age-distribution of the members in the two groups, and the period for which they were at risk, would vary materially, and mainly account for this difference. The fact that as regards the withdrawing members only 30 per cent, of them had at any time received sick-pay is a feature which should not escape attention, and suggests that, as concerns this section of members, a selection against the society continues for some years after the members' admission. Apparently those members whose health is below par, if the sickness-claims are an indication in this respect, constitute precisely that class of the assured among whom withdrawals are at a minimum. This is what might be expected, for naturally those persons who have brought home to them in illness the manifold advantage of being enabled to draw an allowance during incapacity for labour would be uncommonly careful not to forfeit, through carelessness, such a boon. . . The final summation shows that as regards— Members not sick— Entered society before Ist January, 1878, and still a member 31st Dec, 1887 1,118 1878-87, and still a member 31st December, 1887 ... ... 10,055 „ before Ist January, 1878, and left society before 31st Dec, 1887 1,335 1878-87, and left society before 31st December, 1887 ... 7,690 Total ... ... ... ... ... ... 20,198 Members sick— Entered society before Ist January, 1878, and still a member 31st Dec, 1887 2,825 1878-87, and still a member 31st December, 1887 ... ... 8,971 „ before Ist January, 1878, and left society before 31st Dec, 1887 900 1878-87, and left society before 31st December, 1887 ... 3,030 Total ... ... ... ... ... .. 15,726 Members died— Entered society before Ist January, 1878, and made no sick-claim ... .... 69 „ 1878-87, and made no sick-claim ... ... ... 94 „ before Ist January, 1878, and received sickness-allowance ... 501 „ 1878-87, and received sickness-allowance ... ... ... 376 1,040 Here, again, some interesting results are disclosed as regards the selection against the society, which is apparently more or less always going on—in other words, in process of time a society accumulates a more than average share of inferior lives, the more healthy members of the assured gradually allowing their membership to lapse. Thus, examination of the statistics above given shows that for " members not sick" who were connected with the society at the Ist January, 1878, more than 54 per cent, dropped their membership within the next ten years, whereas, turning to

H.—2

the facts for the "members sick," it will be perceived that only 24 per cent, of them withdrew during the same period. The experience in respect of the entrants into the society discloses precisely the same features. The proportion of deaths among members who never received any sickness-allowance appears high, and points certainly to a large number of sudden deaths. That the proportion of members who were either sick, not sick, or died whilst under observation varies with the age of the assured the following statement shows: —

As life progresses, the proportionate number of "not sick" members diminishes, and the percentage to the credit of the deaths column materially augments. Taking the members as a whole—in other words, ignoring for a moment their age-distribution— it will be found that, in respect of the 127,269 years of life at risk, — The average mortality per cent, per annum was ... ... ... 0-817 „ weeks of sickness per member per annum was ... ... 1-416 „ „ to every member sick was ... ... 5-365 To every 100 members the number sick was ... ... ... 26-394 It must be understood that these ratios are not applicable for comparisons with the results of the workings of other friendly society organizations, unless it is strictly true that not only the agedistribution of their members, but likewise the locality, occupation, &c, influences are similar in both organizations. On no other basis can scientific deductions be drawn. In ignorance of the correct methods of dealing with rates of sickness and mortality most extraordinary comparisons are often made between the workings of society and society ; and the deductions drawn from the results are most fallacious. To take merely one point, namely—the age-distribution of the members—the extent to which the rates of sickness and mortality vary with age is well shown in a later portion of this report ; and, thereby, it would be extremely easy to draw up several hypothetical organizations, all of which should experience a normal rate of sickness and mortality, and yet disclose the most divergent general rates of sickness and mortality when compared with one another irrespective of the variable ages of the assured in the different groups. If this is the case when only one disturbing element —namely, age-distribution —is brought into account, how much more so will it be when is borne in mind the influence of locality, occupation, density of population, &c? It would be well to remember these circumstances when unskilled statisticians are found drawing most erroneous comparisons between the working of one society compared with another. Only a skilled expert can venture upon such a task, and only then when complete data is at his disposal, so that due care can be taken to compaxe as far as practicable only like with like. It is not uncommon to find persons drawing comparisons between the death-rate prevailing among some recently - formed friendly society organization and the rate of mortality occurring among the whole population of the country. Needless to say this is a most fallacious process. Like is not being compared with like. In the friendly society, for example, there are no children, and few, if any, very old persons. Now, in the death-rate for the whole population, the high mortality for infant life, and the deaths among those advanced in years, account for quite one-half of the gross rate of mortality. For a comparison which could take credit for being-of at all an accurate character, therefore, the rate of mortality in the friendly society should be gauged by the deaths which occur in the whole population for persons of a similar age-group. ... In the following statement there is displayed the rates of entry, withdrawal, and sicknessclaimants in your society, with the proportional age-distribution in the respective groups : —

Over one-half of your members thus join the society under twenty-five years of age, and it is for this period of life likewise that withdrawals are at their greatest intensity, though the lapses for the next ten years are considerable. It is a tolerably general experience in friendly societies that the withdrawal rate is always the highest at that period of life at which the entrants predominate. Thus, whilst 80-5 per cent, of your members become free to benefits under age thirty-five, no less than 76-5 per cent, of the withdrawals occur in respect of the same group of ages. Not until the age forty-five is attained do the withdrawals become an unimportant factor in your society. As regards sickness-claimants, the proportion of these in early life is certainly high, and this feature should receive your careful attention. For mature life the sick-claims are not excessive in number. In the practical management of a friendly society it is most useful to be enabled to form an opinion of how many members per annum should be expected to claim the sickness-allow-ance, and another most useful aid is the average annual duration of these attacks of disablement. This latter information is afforded in the last column of the foregoing abstract. The duration of these attacks of sickness is not materially different from what represents the normal experience. That the intensity of attacks of sickness increases rapidly with advancing life is clear. In order that the broad results of this inquiry may be compared with those of other investigations into the health and longevity of the working-classes of this country, there is presented in the following table a summary of the results deduced from the two most recent inquiries of this character. The sickness and mortality experience of the working population of this country have been examined by several authorities during the last fifty years; but, taking the investigations in chronological order, the two most recent and complete researches have been— (a.) The experience of the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows for the five years 1866-70; (6.) The experience of the Ancient Order of Foresters for the five years 1871-75. Accordingly, the broad results brought out by these two investigations have been recast as regards the age-distribution of their members, so as to make them comparable with the facts now adduced in connection with your own experience.

Summary of the Mortality and Sickness-experience of Members of Friendly Societies (Males).

To compare the results, and to draw deductions as to their being either favourable or the reverse, implies, of course, some standard of measurement, but it is doubtful whether any exact standard of sickness and mortality of the industrial classes of this country really exists. For such a comparison to truly apply it is essential that the condition of the two things to be measured 2—H. 2,

should be precisely the same, but clearly this is impracticable from the very dissimilarity of the original facts as regards the occupation of the members, their place of habitation, &c. All that can be done is to take care that the age-groupings compared should as far as practicable be similar, bearing in mind how much the element of age influences the rates of sickness and mortality, and to remember that all such comparisons must be understood to be only of a general character, and in default of more exact knowledge of the precise entities composing the different data. At the same time it may be asserted that, so far as research has shown, there is no reason to believe, in respect of the different investigations, the results of which are set out in the foregoing table, that the constituent elements of any one experience as regards the occupation, place of abode, &c, of the members differ very materially from the others. It will be noticed that the years of lives observed in botli the Odd Fellows and the Foresters inquiries were very large, exceeding in each case a million and a quarter of exposures. Though your experience is considerably smaller, it has the advantage of running over a period of ten years, in lieu of the quinquennial term embraced in the other investigations. The following tabulation presents concisely the broad results of the various data :—

The Rates of Mortality and Sickness according to the Experience of Members of Friendly Societies.

Considerable variation will be observed in both the mortality- and sickness-rates of the respective inquiries ; but, even making allowance for the possible disturbing forces, which I have already alluded to, as regards the units embraced in each experience, the difference between the results is most marked, and worthy of consideration. Eegarding, first, the mortality-rates, the divergency is great, the death-rate among the Eechabites being so remarkably low that I was at once led to examine whether there was any palpable fault in the original returns submitted to me which afforded a solution of this feature. No such explanation was apparent, and, though the years of life observed were not as numerous as I should have desired, they were ample to preclude violent fluctuations in the experience due to paucity of the observations. Whether this low death-rate might not be partially due to the large number of fresh entrants into the society, most of whom would no doubt have passed through some test of examination as to health, next received my attention. Therefore the records in respect of only members who had not been admitted into the society during the period of observation—viz., the ten years 1878-87 —were separately examined, but with the result that their death-rate was found to be almost identical with that for the whole of the members. Indeed, no striking difference was disclosed between the mortality-rates for those admitted into the society before the period of investigation commenced—viz., Ist January, 1878 —and the members who were subsequently enrolled. The low rate of mortality appears to run through the table, and is not confined to one period of life. To test whether there might be anything in the occupations of the members which would throw light upon this subject, though time would not admit of a thorough investigation in this respect into the records for the whole experience, a number of cards taken indiscriminately were examined, but nothing of an exceptional character was disclosed. Thus I was brought back to the fact that, certainly in one respect, all the members were supposed to be on a common basis—viz., total abstainers. It is within my knowledge that in one large assurance company, which maintains a special section for total abstainers, for now twenty years the actual deaths in each quinquennium have only been, in this section, 71 per cent, of the expectation ; but to what period of life this is due, or whether common throughout life, cannot be affirmed, as the facts for groups of ages have never been published. I refer to the results of the experience upon this special subject of this company because it led me to examine what proportion of deaths the actual number in your experience furnishes as compared with the expected number according to the Foresters' experience, and the result is that your death-rate only produces 69 per cent, of the other, or a close approximation to what is stated to be the experience of the assurance company above alluded to. It is not within my reference to argue for or against any connection between total abstinence and longevity; my duty is to state clearly the facts brought out by the present investigation, and to leave my readers to draw their own deductions upon this subject. The only observation I feel called upon to make is that, personally, I am quite impartial upon the matter, and, therefore, no bias can be attributed to my results. Whatever effect total abstinence may have upon health and longevity has hitherto been a matter of speculation, for, until the present inquiry, no investigation of magnitude has been made into the subject as regards rates of sickness, and though the aforementioned assurance company possesses, undoubtedly, observations of a most important character, only the most meagre facts have been made public. Irrespective of total abstinence, it is possible that your members constitute, on the whole, a better class of lives, for the same character which

prompts total abstinence possibly induces them to be more thrifty and to take better care of themselves in other respects. No doubt the personal habits of the individual considerably influence his probabilities of life—for example, diet alone is a material agent in man's physical well-being. Turning now to the weeks of sickness-claim, it will be noticed that the sickness-rates among the Eechabites are considerably higher for all ages under forty-five, and that for the subsequent period of life the rates of sickness are materially less than for the Odd Fellows and Foresters. This higher rate of sick-claim in early life is a marked feature in your experience, and, consequently, I was induced to give it my most careful attention. An excessive rate of sickness may be due either to the claimants being over-numerous, to the recipients of the allowance drawing for a protracted period, or to a combination of both causes. That the sickness-claimants in early life are very numerous in your society the following figures clearly show : —

Thus, there appears up to middle life a decided increment in the number of members claiming sick-pay in your Order; and, as it is precisely during this stage of life that you admit members, I am rather inclined to the opinion that adequate care is not exercised as to the state of health of many of those admitted. If so, it is to be expected that a larger proportion of these members would come upon the funds than is the case for the whole Order. Clearly, therefore, it behoves your branches to more efficiently supervise the newly-entered members, and to exercise greater precaution as to their state of health before membership is allowed. Experience has proved that judicious medical selection of the lives pays several times over the expense which this procedure entails. It must not be forgotten that when once a person is admitted into a friendly society it is practically the assured only that can determine the contract. Naturally, therefore, many lives which are above par in health drift away from the society, whilst the diseased ones remain. It might be contended, as the rates of mortality were remarkably low among your members, that though their vitality was sufficient to stave off grim death, yet for this very reason possibly more sickness would be found arising from non-fatal illness. If this contention be true an increased intensity in the attacks of sickness would be anticipated; but this the investigation does not show, as the following figures for the average duration of attacks of illness demonstrate: —

The lower incidence of the sickness risk in your Order after age fifty, as compared with the rates prevailing among the Odd Fellows and Foresters, is mainly due to the less number of claimants in your society, and not to any reduction in the duration of the attacks of illness. For all practical purposes these latter coincide in their intensity with the experience of other friendly societies. . . .
