/ have been made uniform I'm many of
the essential features. which, in addi-
ton to details peculiar to special in
dustries, will permit of the prepara-
ton OF totals that show the magnitude
and relative importance of each.
The census of manufactures is. to be
confined to what is generally known
rs THE factory system and includes
the so-cailed neighbornood, household
and hand industries. which were in
cluded in the federal census of 1900.
The lire Of iemarsation between the
factory industries to he taken and the
hand trades. etc. that are to be
omitted. Is not, said Mr.. Steuart. al
ways clearly defined. but a fair idea
may be obtained of the relative i'm
portaace of the two classes by the fol-
lowing brief statement. At the census
of 1850 there was n total of 5I2.a54 es-
Establishments with products valued at
SIS. ao4. AGO. 143, and of these the hand
trades, of a character which We're
omitted at the census of 1905, repre-
scented 304.6?2 establishments, with
products valued at s1.5a3. go. 02l. or 50. )
per cent of the total number of estab-
lishments, and 1928 per cent of the total
value % products. The census of 1910.
therefore, to be complete. must include
the reports from every factory. mine
and quarry that Was in operation dur
ing any portion of the calendar year

| The inquiries are similar to those
used at prior censuses. They require
description of the business or kind

number of employees, the amount paid
in wages and salaries. tho amount of
miscellaneous expenses. the cost of ma
/ terials, and tho value OF the products
at tho factory or mine.
While the act Of congress, under
which the census is taken. makes it
obligatory upon every owner, presi-
dent. treasurer, secretary, director or
[ other officer or agent of any manu-

or other establishment of productive
industry, whether conducted as u cor

pany or by private individuals. to fur
nish the statistics required for this
census, 1t also provides that the infor-
nation supplied shall be used only for
| the statistical purposes for which IL is
| intended; that a publication shall be
made by the census bureau so that the
data furnished by any particular es-
/ tablishment can be identified, nor shall
the director OF the census permit any
! one other than the sworn employees of
! the census bureau to examine tho in

| also provided for any clerk or special
nj abb Sl ttEl,

/ ment in the census office
The canvass must be made quickly
( in order to enable the office to tabu-
/ late and publish the statistics in time

/ few manufacturers. who did not appre-
ciate the necessity for prompt action.
/ it is stated. delayed their returns I'M
| til tho last moment. This practice on
| the part OF few establishments re-
tards the tabuation of the statistics
and tenders it impractieable for the
bureau to make the totals for any
state or industry until the reports for
these negligent establishments have
been received
/ To make a success of this great
work, therefore. ii is absolutely neces-
sary that the census bureau receives
the corporation and assistance of all
persons who will be required to furnish
the Information, without which it will
be impossible to take the census with

ture of the appropriation that has been

only for this census. but for prior
censuses in comparative form. Spe-

of the United States are also published
as quickly as possible after the enum-
