The twelfth census was taken under
the act Of March 3, 1899, under which
the director of the census, W. r. Mer-
riam, was given enrfre control Of the
work. When he took charge of the
work all that he inherited from the
eleventh census was a typewriter, 6
horse, wagon, cart and some scat
tered papers and records. His was the
first census staff to be given building
of its own. His pleadings for the pres
erVation of the plant which his work
necessitated undoubtedly helped the
passage Of the act of 1902, establishing
the census bureau as permanent part
of the governmental organization. A
later act, approved Feb. /, 1908, trans
ferred the census office from the De-
partment Of the Interior to the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor. July l,
1903, by order Of the secretary of the
latter department, the name Bureau
Of the Census was adopted.
The bureau Of this census Is charged
with the duty of taking the decennial
censuses, of collecting such special sta
tistics as Congress requires, including
the collection in 1905 Of the statistics
Of manufacturing establishments con-
Quoted under the factory system, and
the annual collection Of birth and death
statistics, statistics of cotton production
and cotton consumption, and statistics
of cities Of 10000 or more Inhabitants

ain and Wales schedules are left In

try is divided into permanent districts
for the purpose of registering births

the royal Irish cOnstabulary and the
Dublin metropolitan police are the,
agents for distributing and collecting
the schedules. In Germany the count
covers the period between sunrise and
sunset and the police are utilized as
in Ireland. In Russia the count be-
gins at midnight. The British govern

When the trainers of the constitution
decided that population should be the
basis Of representation in the lower
house Of Congress, provision for sys-
tematic national enumeration of the
people of the country became q neces-
Bity. The constitution ordered that this
enumeration should be made within
three years after the first meeting OF
the first Congress and within every sub
sequent term Of ten years, in such
manner as Congress should direct. Po-
litical necessity thus forced upon the
new republic the first national census
Of modern times.
Among the ancient peoples it is re-
corded that Moses numbered the tribes
in the wilderness and that Satan pro-
voked David to number Israel. The
word census comes from Rome.
where, long before the Christian era,
citizens and their property were regis
tered for the purposes of taxation. In
England, William the Conqueror, to
make more certain the collection of his
revenues, ordered great survey of his
new kingdom. the results Of which were
embodied in the 'Domesday Book" But
the census Of the United States
taken in 1870, was the first of mod
ern times. The results Of the enumera-
tion were transmitted to Congress by
President Washingt, Oct. q, 1871, In
a small report containing fifty-six print
ed pages. 1t showed a population of
3,929,214. 1t cost the government $44,-
BIT to learn that, with one representa-
tive for every $4,000 people, its lower
house would be composed Of los legis-
lators.
AS early as 1910 an attempt to in
clude in the census information per-
taining to the manufactures OF the
country was made, though 1t met with
little success. The act of 1850, which
gave the census work to the newly
created Department Of the Interior and
census board composed Of the Secre-
tary of State, Attorney General and
Postmaster General, increased the sub
1ects OF inquiry to include mines man
ufactures and agriculture.
With each succeeding decade, writes
Fl. B. Chamberlain in the Chicago Rec

these the officials Of the establishments
were required to collect information
concerning the inmates. Special expert
agents were employed to gather data
relating to manufacturing and mechan-
ical industries. City enumerators were
given two weeks in which to make
their rounds. Those in the country
were given a longer time. When emu
merators had finished their work they
delivered their portfolios to the dis
trict supervisors, who in turn sent them
to the central Office at Washington,
where a clerical force of 5000, helped
by the automatic punching machine and
the electric tabulating machine, pre-
pared copy for the printing press.
