Those advance schedules arc 60 be

their absence, By other members 81 their
families, and the schedules viii be tax
en- up BY the generators during the
progress Of the actual enumeration.
This action on the part Of The census
bureau is a complete innovation and an
important advance IN American census
methods Of obtaining a count OF the
population, and the bureau authorities
expect Il to prove Of great practical
and scientific value
II insures greater accuracy and COM
plctoness in the returns, as the heads
of the families, who are generally the
most reliable sources Of information,
are themselves given sufficient opportu-
nifty of the enumeration to examine de-
liberateiy and to answer exactly the
census questions IN past eensuses It

the family was absent at work when the
enumerator called and reliance had 10
