1t will be seen that all these
questions, except probably the last,
must be asked 10 every family
though the last two or three In.
quiries relate more to hospitals
prisons and other institutions than
they do the family. AT least twenty
of these questions relate to the
father or the male head of the fam
lily. Some of them relate especially
to the mother, and one of them (the
nineteenth) specially to the child
rem of the family. A study of the
of the questions will show an intel.
ligent person just what the char.

All this beside vast deal OF
other information, to be suptracted

other special sch edules in the hands
of enumerators, special agents, &c.
Besrde the twenty-five general
questions on the family schedule
there are five others which must be
made concerning every family or
farm visited. They are numbered
from 26 to 30 inclusive, and are as
follows:
Twenty slxth-Is the house you
live IN hired, or is it owned by the
head or by a member of tho family.

ThIrtisth If tho home or farm
is owned by one of the family, and
