of the above statement the required de
tails for the population schedule and

divisions relating to location, name,
relationship, personal description, ma

About all such "test " can do is to
evidence the legibility of an applicants
hand writing and his ability to deter
mine where TO write in the sample
schedule the facts clearly stated in the
narrative.
The agricultural schedule narrative
for 1900 was very similar, except that
the facts stated relate to farms and
farming operations.
Before the "test February 5, the
supervisor will send each applicant a
list of instructions concerning filling
in the "test schedules, which will
still further simplify the subject and
insure the passing of the test by those
who possess only an ordinary common
school education and practical common
sense.

happiest vein of comedy; the
drama has been constructed
about one of those wholesome
characters that are typicalIy

thot, word and deed, and in
whom the great national spirit is
paramount above all else. The
character has been placed as a
native of the world, rather than
any special locality, and sur.

romantic settings of the civl!

charm to every theme of the
play, which is highly humorous
