Social Statistics are placed upon
a different basis from all others,
and more latitude is given in their
collection. They may be obtained,
as far as possible, from official doc
, uments-such as published reports,
or the manuscript records OF
schools, colleges, prisons, asylums,
&c. When such reports or records
are not found, or are insufficient for
the demands of the schedule, the
information may, in perhaps the
majority of cases, be obtained by
correspondence. Marshals are
therefore allowed at their discre-
tion to appoint Deputy Marshals
| for the collection Of Social Statis-
tics. Such appointments do not
constitute an interference with the
duties of Assistdnt Marshals Sec.
