supervision of work there, rather than
the General Superintendent, whose du-
ties are such that while overlooking
the whole work, will devote his time
particularly to the arranging of details
here
When it is known that sixty men
will be employed as enumerators, ii
may be judged what amount of work
must be performed in Honolulu alone
in order that perfect record of the
population may be obtained.
1T may seem a large number" said
Mr. Atkinson yesterday, ''but l believe
better results may be obtained by
prompt and energetic action. With six
ty clerks l am confident the work can
be properly done-I mean the statis-
teal part of the data may be obtained
in two days. The public, of course, will
lend it's assistance to the enumerators
and in promptly filling the blanks left
with them.
In reply to the question regarding
the special features which this census
will contain over previous ones, Mr.
Atkinson said:
mo definite information could be
given on this point. l have addressed
letters to the superintendent of Census
in the United States and New Zealand
for the purpose of securing all the in
formation possible. Just what they will
be cannot be even guessed just now
II have decided on some changes
which l think will be appreciated by
the public. For instance, in election
Judiciary and census returns Lanai has
been mentioned in connection with Mo-
lokais and Niihau is part of the dis
trict of Waimea, Kauai. If these two
places were treated as they should be-
separate and distinct from other dis
tricts, the result would be more accu-
rate. 1t will be interesting for the peo-
pie to know just what the population
of these Islands are, and the pro-
ducts. Under the old way this was
hardly possible
So far the work has been confined
to apportioning the funds to the va
rious districts and for other purposes.
This has been submitted to Minister
Cooper as President of the Board of
Education, and approved by him.
Inc DlankS and schedules have rot
yet been printed, but they are in pre-
paration, and [ am in correspondence
with persons on the other Islands who
are likely to accept positions as dis
trict superintendent.
These said Mr.. Atkinson. pointing
to a stack of memorandum books on
a table. contain the data collected bv
the health inspectors during the cholera
seige. We will keep them for reference
and correction. There is also the report
made by DR.. Rodgers when the census
was taken six years ago, and want to
say that l found these papers arranged
in the most systematic and methodical
manner. They will be of great use
when all the returns are in. and DR..
Rodgers cannot be complimented too
highly for the manner in which he kept
his reports"

A. T. Atkinson, General Superintend-

there are twenty-six. To each Of these
districts Mr.. Atkinson has appointed a
district superintendent. who has charge
of the entire work of his district, ap-
