Something About the Great Statistical
Work.


"The blank schedules to be used in ,
the next census are now being distri-
buted by the census Office 10 the enum-
orators, who wiL start to work on
June l." says Census Supervisor II. A. |
Kasson. "Thc schedules contain ques- /
tions which some persons may think |
prying, purposeless, or excessive In
number. But their number and char
acter have been determined by con-
gress, not by the census office, and all
of them have been asked in previous
ccnsuses. The only important change
since 1890 is that some questions have
been abandoned.
People are often offended at the
question, How old are you? and are
apt to wonder what use the government
can make of their replies. Taken as
a whole tho replies are as important
as any class of information the census
office collects Age returns penetrate
and elucidate every other branch of
statistical knowledge They show
where child labor is prevalent, and
where tho proportion of persons able
to support themselves is large or small.
They reveal the great number Of col
ored children aud the short life of the
negroes under present conditions. They
make 1t possible to ascertain whether
the average length of life Is increas-
ing or decreasing, how many men the
voting or of bearing arms,and whether
the relative number of children is IN.
creasing or decreasing.
an Mohammedan or semi,civilized
countries like India householders are
often unwilling to answer the ques-
ton regarding the sex of persons In
the house, but In civilized countries
where the sexes are regarded us on an
equality, such unwillingness does not
appear. The answers to the questions
show that in nearly all cities the
females outnumber the males and that
the same Is true of most OF the states
along the Atlantic coast The belief Ia
widespread that taking the world in
general there are more females alive at
any given time than males, and that
If 1t were not for immigration there
would be more females in the United
States than males. But census stat
istics show that we cannot explain the
great excess of males (over one and n
half million) in tho United Stntes by
immigration alone, for when the
toreign.bo are left out of account,
there are still above 100000 more
males than females.
"Tow would dispute the necessity
for asking questions regarding race.
All arguments regarding the future of
any particular race In this country,
like the Indian. the negro, or the
Chinaman, must hinge upon the re.
turns to the census, With the indians,
moreover, 1t is of the highest impor,
tance to learn what success the policy
of the government has met with In
establishing them apart from their
tribes and reservations, and whether
such Indians are increasing or decreas-
Ing.

sons who go TO the Lenox Library to look over
this late benefaction Of Mr.. Avery will find
much Of the personal element represented in it.
In a lifetime of collecting Mr.. Avery has nat
uraliy come in contact personally with many
men whose names are breathed by art lovers
In something like a spirit of reverence AS the
collector lets his memory wander back he is
able TO bring forth many suggestions that throw
light upon the environment and character
of the men whose work is represented in his
collection OF prints.
MY visit to Jean Francois Millet of
the most depressing experiences l recall in my
association with great painters said MIR. Avery
a few days ago. Il had collected all of his
etchings, some twenty in all. and il occurred
to me that I would like to have something in
the way of a personal souvenir autograph
from him. With that object partly in view, l
visited Barbizon with my friend Walters and
George a Lucas We arrived at the pretty
little village late in the afternoon, but the day
was wet and depressing Millet had been suf-
fering with asthma some similar complaint

"Cruikshank said that he was once introduced
to a rural audience who did not know more of
him than that he was billed to appear. While
he was standing considerably embarrassed and
trying to collect his thoughts, the audience sud
denly broke out into prolonged applause. He
discovered finally that the outburst was due to
the fact that he had been polishing his silk hat
the wrong way. When he paused the audience
yelled Go it. Cruikshank. do it more.'
They thought him a comedian and that part
of the show"
Mr. Avery had charge of the Fine Arts De
partment IN the American section of the Paris
Exposition of 1867, which was the year he first
went abroad. \ collector of thing and IL
other from boyhood he naturally took to prints
after taking up engraving a profession. He
had gathered a number Of etchngs before his
first visit to Paris, at which time he called
Daubigny for the first time.
When l told him that l wanted to get some
of his etchings' said AIr. Avery, he said that
If | would show him the ones | had bought in the
Paris shops he would see if he had anything
different. Upon calling a week later he asked
the privilege of destroying bad impressions and
replacing them with good ones | agreed to
that of course. and he then and there tore up
such prints as he did not like. After looking
through his portfolios l selected about fifty fine
proofs and hesitatngly inquired the price
a LOT OF DAUBIGNYS.
"'Oh, you would get those things around the
streets OF Paris for one or two francs Suppose
we say fifty francs for the lot"
THE bargain was concluded, and he expressed
delight that one coming from such distance
should take interest in that line Of his ef-
fort He had then abandoned etching Those
prints formed the basis of my Daubgny col
lection and before his death l had them COM
plete-about $50 in all"
Similar methods pursued with other men ena-
bled Mr.. Avery to secure the remarkably com
plete collection which he gave TO the library
In some cases, Of course. he had to buy wher-
ever the pictures offered Meryon, for in
stance was alive, but in the madhouse when
the collector went to Paris. and he died In De
cember 1867. But the genius of Meryon was
not appreciated by the general public until long
after that and for few francs apiece his
choicest things were picked up by NJ. Avery
He once bought q number Of prints from
