The Census Bureaus Instructions 4
Iuumerators on This Point.

Washington. D. c., Feb. 19-The ex-
plicit and lengthy printed instructions
to the census enumerators, which have
been prepared by the United States
Census Bureau, give clear idea
of the character Of the answers expected
from the people Of the United States
with regard to the questions in the pop
ulation schedule to be carried in the
pecennial Census April 10 next.
All references are to have reference
solely to the Census Day." which. is
April Is. Persons living on that day,
but who died after it and before the
enumerators call are to be counted, but
persons born after April Is are not to
be included in the count. Persons who
were single on April Is are to be,
reported as single, even though they
have been married subsequently and
before the canvasser has called. This
is true, similarly, of persons who be-
come widowed or divorced after April
Is.
The census law provides that all per-
sons shall be enumerated at their" us
ual place Of abode" on April Is. This
means the place where they may be
said to live or belong or the place where
is their home. As rule, the usual
place of abode is not the place where a
person works or eats but where he reg
ularly sleeps. The .enumerators are
cautioned, however, that where man
happens to sleep at the time of the
enumeration may not be the place
where he regularly sleeps.
There will be number of persons
having their usual places of abode in
enumeration districts who will be abb
sent April Is. These are to be includ-
ed and enumerated after the facts. re-
garding them have baen obtained from
their families, relatives, acquaintance
or other persons able to give the infor-
nation. For instance, if member Of
any family is temporarily away from
home on visit, or on business, or
travelling for pleasure, or attending
school or college, or sick in hospital,
such absent person is to be enumerated
and included with other members of
the family. But son or daughter reg
ularly living in another locality should
not be included with the familya at home.
i Servants, laborers or other employees
who live with the family, and sleep in
the same house or on the same premises
should be enumerated with the family.
The Census Bureau states that there
will be, on the other hand, certain
number of persons present and perhaps
lodging and sleeping IN districts at the
time of the enumeration who do moi
have their usual places of abode there.
These are not to be enumerated. II
must be assumed that they will be
enumerated elsewhere. The canvassei
should not, therefore, unless it is prac'
tically certain that they will not be
enumerated elsewhere, enumerate OF
include with the members Of family,
when they are enumerating any of the
following classes: ~
: Persons visiting family;
Transient boarders or dodgers who
have some other usual or permanent
place of abode.
Students or children living or board
ing with a family in order TO attend
some school, college or other education
al institution in the locality but not
regarding the place as their home;
Persons who take their meals with 9
family but lodge or sleep elsewhere;
Servants, apprentices, or other per-
son employed by family and working
in the house or. on the premises. but
not sleeping there: or
Any person who was formerly in {
family, but who has since become .
permanent inmate of an asylum, aims
house, home for the aged, reformatory
prison or any other institution in which
the inmates may remain fol. long periods
of time.
