seEamiIx,, LIN the Census.

There are some queer features about
the census use of the word family"
1t means practically those who eat at
the same table. A hotel is a family
The Memorial Hall Dining association
at Cambridge is a family; so is the
Danvers Lunatic asylum. A stray man
who keeps bachelors hall is family.
The necessity for this use of the term
came with the question of enumerat-
ing domestic servants. 1t was found
absolutely impossible to attach them
to their own families. scattered as they
are. They had to go with the family
they were living with. This led to a
continuation of the principle, with the
result mentioned. AS it works out, the
census family differs from the actual
family in size only by small fraction
