OUR CENSUS.

The 10 900 600 people scattered over
the 10000 square miles OF surface
of the United States are to be counted
and classified next year. Practically
all the work of collecting the material
will be done in three months next
summer. To carry it out the census
authorities are now organizing a force
of nearly 5000 men. OF this number
the majOrity-the enumeratOrs-will
be employed only for a few weeks. but
the clerical staff will be kept busy for
two years or more in compiling the
results and publishing them.
In the last two censuses-those Of
1880 and 1S90-the publication of the
results occupied from five 20 seven
years. In the act providing for the
census of 1900 congress stipulated that
the four principal reports-those on
population. mortality, manufacture,
and agriculture-m be published by
July /, 1902. The enumeratorS will be
local appointees in all points of the
country. There will be one for each
township, or, in the case of cities, one
for each ward or district. Their pay
will run as low as $50 in some cases
and will average probably about 500.
In compiling the results of the
enumeration every person in the
United States will be represented by
card The facts recorded are shown
by holes punched in the cards. The
average number of records that can
be transferred from the schedules to
the punch-cards by each clerk in one
day is 700. Electrical machines not
only punch the cards. but also tabulate
the statistics from them one machine
doing the work formerly requiring
twenty cerks. The expense of taking
the census will amount to more than
