SELECTING ENUMERATORS.
Merriam Says He will Make a Perfect
Census.

Census.
Washington. Sept. 11.-In an interview
to-day Hon. w. r. Merriam. director of
the census. said. in reference to the APP
pointment of the enumerators:
Our next great undertaking-and any
branch of work which much reach ev-
cry nook and corner. farm and cabin in
the United States is GREATS that of Sc
lecting about 5000 enumerators for tax
ing the 18th census
I'VE are trying TO prepare for COM
plete and reasonably perfect census. The
burden of the work of gathering the ma
terials for it, however, will fall on the
enumerators.
In any important line of private bust
ness preliminary training is required of
those charged with conducting its de-
tails. Lawyers and doctors study before
they practice their profession and me-
chanics are required to serve through an
apprenticeship before asking for journey
mems work or wages. So, in my view,
those who desire to act as census enume-
rators should take up the study of census
laws, schedules and statistics thus famil-
iarizing themselves as far as possible with
the actual details of the work. In this
way they will be prepared on the first of
June next, like great and well drilled
army, to begin their labors understand
ingly and tremendously from ocean to
ocean without after that requiring orders
OF Instructions. While | shall not under
take to select enumerators without con-
sulting with the proper census supervisor
as to the qualifications and experience of
applicants. ] would like to suggest that
all candidates adopt the course l have
indicated. and thus help to insure at the
threshold of the 10Th century the most
perfect census in the history of the re-
public"
