away from home by writing either
'home farm or working out, - as
the case may be. A woman who,
herself, operates or runs a farm
should be reported as "farmer,
and not as a "farm laborer.
If any child, Of whatever age, is
regularly earning money, the an-
ployment which he or she follows
should be returned as an occupation.
This applies also to a child working
for his board away from home.
Children, or even adults, attending
school or college or any educational
Institution and following MO other
employment, should be returned as
having no occupation. But if any
person is attending school or college
and at the same time is regularly
earning money at, some galnful

return that occupation. In either
case they must indicate the fact of
school or college attendance.

Employer and Employee
The Census Bureau instructs the
census takers that an employer
is one who employs helpers, other
than domestic seAvants, in trans
acting his own business. The term
employer does not include the sup
erintendent, agent, manageH Or
other persons employed to manage
an establishment or business; and 1t
does not include the foreman of a
room, the boss of a gang, or the Goa:
miner who hires his helper. All such
should be returned as employees,
for, while any one Of these may
employ persons, none Of them does
so in transacting his own business.
Thus no individual working for a
corporation either as an officer or
otherwise, should be returned as
an employer.
A person employing domestic
in his own home, but not
any helpers in his bus
mess, is not to be considered as an
employer. But, on the other hand,
a person who is the proprietor Of
a hotel or boarding house and en-
ploys servants in running that hotel
or boarding house, should be return
ed as an employer, because he en-
ploys these servants in his busl-
aess.
An employee is defined as any
person who works for wages or a
salary and is subject to the control
and direction Of an employer: The
deciding test is whether, the person
receives a wage or salary and IS, sub
ect to another's directions. If so, he
) an employee, whether he be presi-
lent of a large corporation or only
lay laborer; whether hepaid nmoney
,r in kind and whether he be employ
ID by his own parent or by another.
The term; employee does not include
awyers,' DOCTORS and others who
,ender professional services for fees,
md who, in their work, are not sub.
ect to the control and direction Of
hose whom they serve. It does in
,lude actors, professors, and others
who are engaged to render profess
'ional service for wages or salaries.
A demestic servant should always
,e returned as an employee, even
;hough," as; previously explained, the
person employing a domestic SER
want. is not always returned as an
employer.
