best progress In administrative and scientific
methods OF compiling and abstracting statisti-
cal returns, with a view to comparison of results
In different countries; to invite the attention of
governments to various problems capable OF
solution by statistical investigation; to prepare
International publications as q means of bring
Ing into communication the sfatisticians of
different countries; and through the medium Of
publications and public instruction to foster the
general appreciation Of statistical science, and

public officials aud private individuals.
