Prior schedules, so called, that Is
schedules to be left at the residence in
advance ofthe enumerator, to be filed VI
by the head of the family, have never
been used in census of the United States
up to this year, though adopted in nearly
every European country.
The census OF 1880 will be taken under
the act Of MarchS, 1879. There is by this
act, as by that OF 1850, both q census day
and census year. The census day is
June l, 1880; thecensus year comprises the
twelve months ending at that date. The
census day is the day on or for which the
count Of inhabitants is required to be
made, and certain facts relating to the
status Of population and industry to be OBJ
tanned; the census year is the period for
which certain other classes Of facts, relat-
ing to the movements of populations and
the operations Of industry, are required to
be taken.
But while the act Of 1870 and that Of
1850 are alike in thus instituting a census
year for the movements Of population and
industry, as well asa census day for de-
termining their status, the two acts differ
widely in the agencies they establish and
the methods they prescribe for obtaining
those results. By the act Of 1850, all the
statistics to be obtained in the Census were
to be collected by the regular enumerators
in their house-to-house canvass Of their
several districts. The facts relating to
mining, to the fisheries, to agriculture, TO
manufactures, to the mortality Of the pop.
ulation, and to many other matters Of 50.
cial and industrial interest, were to be
and reported on by the same
officers who made the count Of popula.
ton. The inadequacy and the inaccuracy
Of the statistics thus obtained, which were
sometimes positively discredltable and
even disgraceiul to the Census, their only
possible effect being to mislead the reader
aud misrepresent the country, led to the
introduction Of provisions into the act Of
March s, 1879, by which the Census Office
Is authorized to withdraw certain classes
OF statistical inquiries from the ordinary
enumerators and place them In the hands
OF experts and special agents.
The subdivision Of the census districts
for the purposes Of actual enumeration Il
carried far below that required by the act |
Of 1850, the maximum limit being now
1900 inhabitants according to the next

tanned as security against detective and
erroneous returns OF the population.
The period allowed for the enumeration
is shortened to one month (the month Of
June) in rural districts and small towns,
and to two weeks in cities, as against five
months formerly. This change must re-
suit in obviating a large part Of the errors
resulting from incessant movements Of the
population, especially during the later
summer months.
In 1890 one.thirtieth Of the population
Of the United States lived in cities Of 5000
inhabitants and over; in 1900, one twenty,
fifth; in 1910 and also in 1920, one.twen'
tieth; in 1880, one-sixteenth; in 1910, one,
twelfth; in 1850, one.eighth; In 1871, one
sixth; and in 1870, little over one-ffth'
At the last date the inhabitants Of cities
numbered in all sou, S75.
1t is probable that not only the absolute
number but the proportion of the total
population resident in cities will be found
| in 1880 to have still further increased. II
will not be surprising II 100000 Of per
sons, constituting q full quarter OF the
population, are found living in cities o
5000 inhabitants and over.

The writer of this article called at the
U. S. Census office In Washington City a
few DAYS ago, and had an interesting con-
yersation with General Walker, the Super
intendento of Census, in regard to the prep
aratons in progress and the proposed mo-
dus operandi Of taking the National census
this year. The preparations for the great
event have been in progress for yearpast,
and they are Of the most elaborate charac-
ter. Not one man but many have been at
work laying out the details Of the whole
broad field that is to be covered. Its hard
to name any item that can possibly enter
into the statistics OF the country, (such, for
instance, as anything that affects its mate

ture. commerce, manufactures, the arts
and sciences, to education in all its rami-
cations, to health in all its phases. to relig-
ion and morals, or to race and nationality
that is not provided for in blanks
that are to be furnished TO the Supervisors
and Enumerators who are to have charge
Of the census taking this year. 1t is in
tended that the information gathered this
year shall not only be more reliable but
much more comprehensive than anysta-
tistics ever before gathered by this or any
other government. The work Will be
done much more promptly and enerseh-
cally than ever before "A much more
active and intelligent class Of men have
been provided Tor. we VIII more nearly
approximate the British plan as regards
promptness this year than ever before
Formerly the enumerators had i've
months in which to take and make their
returns, whereas now they are restricted
to one month .We are making test this
time, said Gen. walker to the writer, in
order to see how Tar we eau safely approx
innate the English custom oil taking the
enumeration In one day, and maybe next
time we shall get ours down to week, or
perchance to day.
In Great Britain census has been
taken every ten years since 1901, and the
system is now one of1the most perfect in
existence. Until nearly the close Of the
last century, there was no real method,
