to commission him as lieutenant Of
the Twenty-fourth, the governor hest
tated because he thought "a schoolboy
should not he sent TO the front" The
applicant for the commission was then
but seventeen years old. He got the
position, however, and soon proved that
he was made of fighting stuff.
Before he was nineteen he was ma.
jor, and 1t Is said that General Grant
would have recommended him for a
brigadier generalship after the battle
of Missionary Ridge except for his eX-
treme youth.
For gallant action at Missionary
Ridge Macarthur was awarded n med
al of honor. He was struck down at
the battle of Franklin, but a package
of letters in his breast prevented the
bullet entering his body.
After the battle of Franklin the
Twenty fourth Wisconsin was in com
mand of young Macarthur. who had
been promoted to be lieutenant colo
mel. He led the regiment until 1t was
mustered out in 1865.
Young Macarthur entered the regu
lar army the following year as lieu
tenant. He was soon promoted and be-
came the youngest captain in the serv-
ice.
AT the outbreak of the Spanish war
Macarthur was q lieutenant colonel.
He was appointed a brigadier general
of volunteers and was sent to Manila
with the first detachment of troops,
His brilliant service in the Philippines
is of too recent date to need rehearsal.
General Macarthur is now tifty-sev-
en- and has seven years of active serv-
ice ahead of him before he will be re-
tired under the age limit. In that time
he Is likely to achieve the highest COM
MD ad in the United States army.

not large. Excluding the enumerators,
the entire clerical force embraced only
1850 persons. The work was done not
by force of numbers, but by Organiza-
ton. Every clerk knew his own par
ticular task thoroughly.
The new bureau of course retains all
these characteristics and includes all
the essentials of the larger Organiza-
ton. But where $3.50 clerks were
needed formerly the director Of the
permanent office will have but 7S0.
These will be under the direction Of
the present executive, four chief stat
isticians, chief clerk and a disburs-
ing officer. The clerks represent prob
ably the most highly trained and care
fully selected body of classified EN-
ployees in the United States. They
are all of the highest possible record.
Every one of the 7S0 earned his con-
tinuation in office by unusual applica-
ton and the most manifest skill. They
are body of experts, ready to under
take any kind of statistical work.
This force, while organized primarily
to perform the duties of permanent
bureau, will enable Director Merriam
to work several important reforms.
When the thirteenth census Is to be
taken, the permanent force can be
very easily expanded by the employ
ment of additional clerks of the lowest
grade and the work done with an un-
derstanding and freedom from fric-
ton which will contribute greatly to
the success of the enumeration. Mr.
Merriam's expectation is that the head
of the office in 1910 should be able to
beat even the record of this census
and complete the issue of his statis-
tical volumes not in seven years or
even in two years, but in one year art
er the enumerators have prepared their
schedules
The permanent force has been di'
vided into five divisions-population'
manufactures, agriculture, vital stats
tics and geographical and misceliane'
Gus. The work of these divisions has
been so arranged that all five can be
steadily employed until time to pre-
pare for the next census. In the mean
time statistics relating to agricultural
products, births and deaths, ETC., Will
be gathered each year.

TAKING THE CENSUS
PERMANENT BUREAU ORGANIZED
FOR THAT PURPOSE,

Force of Experts to he Continuously
Employed Gathering Statistic. and
Preparing For the Next Enumera-
tion-work of Director Merriam.
When the time arrives to take the
next census of Uncle Sans dominions,
there will be n fully equipped and
thoroughly organized force ready to
undertake the task. In the past the or
ganization of a force TO take the CEN
sus has been a mighty undertaking,
and the work of compiling the results
of the enumerators has been labor of
years.
All this is changed now, for the inte-
rior department has organized a per-
mancnt census bureau, the first in the
United States. Such an undertaking
presupposes confusion-the assembly
of an army of clerks, the disposition Of
supplies and the preparation of quar-
ters. But such was not the case. The
important new bureau sprang into life
without causing a ripple.
Under the direction of William r..
Merriam, the last census was the most
complete and expeditions ever taken
In previous decennial years directors
of the census have wrestled year aft
er year with the enumeration and its
incidental computations, sometimes for
five years, sometimes six, sometimes
even seven years, but never less than
four. Mr.. Merriam's force completed
its four principal reports in about two
years, having done work that in the
years
To accomplish such a result required
the greatest possible degree of admin.
istrative skill and energy. There were,
for example, over $1,000 enumerators
to be trained and supervised. About
620.000,000 cards passed through the
punching machines in the Washington
office. The special tasks of the bu-
reau included 100000 schedules on
population, $4,000 schedules on vital
statistics, 5,73S.524 agricultural sched-
ules and COS, ,401 schedules on manu-
factures. Every single schedule, ev-
cry one of the 620,O0O,0O0 cards which
We're punched here in the main office
of the bureau, had to be carefully ex-
amincd and stripped of its statistical
! information.
Yet the number of assistants who
united with Governor Merriam to
achieve this result in two years was
