On the contrary, there are people who

Here is where the work of putting
the census data into Ineligible aud
valuable form will be done, and here
lis; where the tabulating machinery
will come into play. These machines,
by the way, are the invention of q
former census employe, Mr.. Herman
Hollerith. They were designed with
a special view to use in the census,
selthcugh they have proved valuable
5or other statistical work.
By this system the statistics con.
scerning each person will appear on a
separate punched card. About seven
tysfvemillions of these cards will be
required, therefore, to contain all the
data collected for the census.
The cards are numbered to CORE
Sspond with the numbers opposite the
names in the schedules. They con-
tain two hundred and eighty-eight

larger scale, as there are eof course
more people to be enumerated. 1t
will embrace greater area; for the
first time the inhabitants Of Alaska,
Hawaii, and Porto Rico are to be in
cluded in the count. Moreover, the
coming census will be the first in
which all the work of recording and
computing statistics is to be done by
mechanical means. Electric tabulat-
ing machines were introduced for this
purpose toward the close of the elev-
enth census, but in the coming enum-
Grafton they will be relied upon en-
tirely.
The thorough organization neces-
sary in order successfully to carry
through such an undertaking as this
may be appreciated when one reflects
upon the labor involved in counting
seventy-fve millions of anything-ia
task that would require one mans un-
divided energies for twelve hours q
day during more than o year and a
half. In the case of the census the
labor is multiplied by the considera-
tion that the seventy y-fve million units
are human beings, concerning each OF
whom a dozen facts must be recorded,
and that they are scattered over some
four million square miles of the earth's
surface.
The task OF. taking the census will
require altogether the services of more
than forty thousand persons. They
will be separated into two main di.
visions-the field forces, and the head
quarters staff in Washington.
The former will include by far the
greater number-nearly forty thou
sand, all told. These will be the enu-
merators, who will gather the re-.
quired information from all parts Of
the country, and the superintendent
in charge of this branch of the work.
The data thus collected will be COM
piled and prepared for publication by
staff of three thousand clerks in the
central Office.
Roughly speaking, there will be one
enumerator for each township through
out the country, or, in the cities, one
for each ward. The enumerarators
will be local residents appointed by
the Director of the Census, on the
recommendation of some influential
person, usually the Congressman from
the district. The superintendents
will have charge of divisions generally
the same in limits as the Congress
sional districts. In the case of the
larger cities, however, there will be

for the coming enumeration it was
stipulated that the four principal re-
ports-on population, mortality, agri-
culture aud manufactures-lnust be
ready for publication on July l, 1902.
The Director of the twelfth CEN
sus is William R. Merriam, ex-
Governor of Minnesota. The actual
work of preparing the statistical in
formation of the census for publica-
ton will be in charge of Assistant Dl-
rector Frederick b. Wines. MIR.
Wines has had long experience in this
sort of work. He was in charge OF
