AMERICAN ECONOMISTS.
Report of the Committee on the Twelfth
Census Made.

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 2S.-The bust
ness session proper of the eleventh annual
meeting of the American Economic AS
ISOLATION opened at 10 o'clock this morn
ing in this city. The principal work OF
the morning was the presentation of the
report of the committee on the scope and
method of the twelfth census. This COM
mittee consisted of Prof. Richmond Mayo
Smith, Walter F. Wilcox, Carroll D.
Wright, Prof Roland p. Falllner and
Davis r. Dewey. The report embodied
large number of extracts from essays
submitted to the committee IN response TO
questions sent out to leading economists.
In its own report the committee says of
the suggestions offered: There is criti-
cism not so much OF the accuracy of the
census returns as Of the treatment OF the
data lin the 18th census reports), and of a
lack of continuity from census to census.
Both defects we believe to be largely due
to the insufficient time allowed by law for
preparing plans and schedules. The work
of the census is seriously impeded by the
number of the Investigations ordered and
their variety, and consequently funda-
mental Inquiries cannot receive adequate
attention. A number of subordinate in
quiries might advantageously be trans
ferred to established bureaus or depart
ments which are equipped with expert
agents, and some of which now publish
annual volumes of kindred statistics"
The committee further points out de-
tSCtS VI NeShllGSSeS III IlelAOQ as IOl-
lows:
1.-The lack of compatibility in the data
from census to census. Occupations are
grouped under different heads, making it
impossible to trace growth or decline In
certain great branches of industry.
2-The lack of coordination. The inqui-
ries should be more closely asserted in
method of presentation with one another
so that more of the facts available in one
might be available in others. as for in
stance the number of persons employed
the capital invested, the wages paid etc.
3-(Al Faults of method. Certain inVes-
legations relating to matters of the great
est interest fail to give adequate results
because the basis of inquiry is at fault.
In this class belong all attempts to secure
the annual rate for crime, births and
deaths by direct enumeration at given
time, without recourse to registration or
other continuous records.
fB) Cues'in ions which cannot be answered
such as depree of intermixture of white
and negro blood
(C) The tabulations are in some cases
omitted, or are defective or are overtab-
ulated.
ID There are certain faults of classid-
cation, which are found in both schedules
and tabulations, as statistics of occupa-
ton, especially distribution of laborers
not specified, statistics of taxation and
wealth, municipal receipts etc.
The convention then adjourned until
o'clock, when the session was given up Ia
papers on phases of American economic
history, dealing with aspects of the United
States treasury situation in the years of
1893 to 1891 and price movements in the
confederate states during the civil war.

Thousands of young people are out Of
employment in straitened circumstan-

cause they cannot earn their living.
A thorough knowledge of business

them a first class business training.

According to recent estimates the re-

about 2S,000 men. OF this number it is
calculated that at least 10000 men
would be required in case of war to
complete the manning of the warships
of Great Britain, which are understood
to require II complement of 10000 men,
whereas only 100000 are actually in
service. The naval reserve problem has
long been discussed by British authori-
ties and the general opinion appears to
be that the number of men available is
far short of the number that would be
required ia case of war. In addition to

The train from Mexico which arrived
here this evening did not bring with it
VIM. Jennings Bryan, and the report of
his coming. which reached here last night
in dispatch from Mexico was prema-
tnre. He is expected tomorrow evening.
On the strength of his arrival the towns
all the way between here and Eagle Pass
gave great demonstrations in honor of
the free silver advocate, who was not on
the train which they welcomed. Great
quantities of ammunition were wasted at
many small towns, and the chagrin of
the crowds was sad to witness when they
learned that the object of their alteration
was not aboard.
