Trouble Getting Statistics.
Rev C. A, Northrop. chairman of
the social service committee, reported
that this committee had done about
all the work it could in attempting to
secure the data for Norwich, but
there was one important element miss
ing because the Norwich manufactur-
ers pretty generally declined to give
the information which the committee
wanted. The statistics asked for have
included number of employees, wages
paid and average wages, ages, ma
tiouality and sex of employees and 9TH
err points. In the instructions sent out
from the headquarters, particular en-
phasis has been laid upon getting the
industrial statistics, as these have been
considered most important in the con-
illusions to be drawn from them. The
whole batch of statistics of every
kind including the information about
church life, clubs, schools, population,
nationalities in the city, and a num-
Der of other details, is to be forwarded
at cnce to the experts in Hartford,
so that they may have a chance to
look over them before coming here
for the three day campaign. The social
survey has taken the active service
and hard work of from 20 to 80 men
who have completed their assign
ments as thoroughly as possible.
