Washington, Sept, Or. Roland
p. Falkner, assistant director of the
bureau of the census, has departed
for Europe on statistical mission
which, it is expected, will occupy
him for two months.
Dr.. Falkner has been instructed
by Secretary Nagel of the depart
ment Of commerce and labor to visit
the capitals of European countries
which have tho highest standards in
statistical work and to study the
methods employed in census opera
tons
Questioned before his departure
concerning this duty, Dr.. Falkner
said that the principal achievements
of recent years in census taking in
the United States were in the tabu-
lation OF the material when the in
PRODUCTION of machinery had com
pletely revolutionlzed processes and
greatly increased the output.
In the collection of the original
material little progress has been
made. In some parts of Europe
methods are in vogue which, he
stated, insure a much promptor and
probably more accurate return of
the original material from the enum-
orators.
This aspect of census taking will
receive special attention.
