Study Of Cities
and Their Suburbs.

large cities and the suburbs within ten
miles of their limits. with regard to
the sex, nativity, color. age. school at
tendance, literacy. country of birth
and other details concerning their
populations. From such reports as
this the American citizen may learn
the exact nature and the direction of
DEVELOPMENT of the population of his
own city or of one in which he is in
tereSted.
The census has been taken every ten
years since 1890. so that the earlier re-
ports now have historical as well as
the demand for information gathered
in the first census of the United States
that it has recently been republtshed
by the bureau, and may now be OBJ
tanned by any one. Incidentally. the
comparison between this first census
and the last one shows in a striking
manner the growth and change Of the
country.
The first census was simply an emu
meration Of the population. made in ac-
cordance with the constitutional pro-
vision which required a regular decen-
NAL census as the basis for apportion-
ing taxes and representatives In Con-
gress. This clause In the Constitution
is one of the first legal provisions for
n regular periodic census made by any
nation. The United States was thus a
pioneer in the matter of census TAX
ing, and the taking of the first census.
in 1890, had many Of the characteris-
tics of pioneering.
There being no census bureau in ex-
istence, the work was done under the
supervision of the United States mar
shals, of whom there were seventeen
They had in all $50 assistants, and
these did the actual work. Means of
transportation were. of course. very
crude, and most Of the population lived
upon plantations and farms. widely
separated and hard to reach. Western
New York was a wilderness. and the
country west of the Alleghenies had
scarcely been explored. Detroit and
Vincennes were such small and iso-
lated villages that the enumerators
did not consider 1t worth while to
make the long and dangerous journey
to them. New York city. which had
nearly five million people In 1910. was
at that time the largest city in the
United States. with population of
$4,000.
only a fourth Of its present area, and
only a third of that was settled, the
conditions made census taking so diff
cult that it took a year and q half to
complete an enumeration that could
now be made In a month.

WHAT TIE CENSUS BUREAU
Is DOING NOW. |
By Frederic J. Haskin.

All Of the results Of the census OF 1910
having been duly recorded, tabulated and
published. the general public thinks Of
the census bureau as being. done with Its
work until the end Of another decade.
As a matter of fact, this branch Of the
government service is busy every day in
every year collecting the most varied and
detailed information about these United
States 1t has become the greatest sta
tistical bureau Ia the world National and
state legislators. scientists. educators
and business men depend upon 1t for ac-
curate Information. and Its records are
those of our national growth and prog
ress.
The census Of the population taken
every ten years is really less than half
Of the bureaus work. In addition, re-
ports must be made at regular intervals
upon manufacturers agriculture and
other industries; annual reports are pub
lished Of such statistics as those of birth
and death rates, and numerous special
studies are made of subjects such as the
negro and Indian populations, the compo-
sition of metropolitan populations as to
race, age and sex, and other matters OF
general interest.
Heretofore all of these statistics
have been presented as such. with ut
tie comment or explana ion, 80 tnat
their greatest value has been to stu
dents and others skilled in their use.
One of the policies Of Director Harris
however, is to make all Of this infor-
nation about the United States avail
able and comprehensive to the aver
age citizen. and for this purpose the
bureau will issue in the future mono
graphs on various interesting subjects,
explaining the significance of the
figures gathered.
At present the bureau is engaged
upon a census of manufactures In the
United States, which Is taken every
five years. The work was begun last
July and is already wei. under way.
An idea of the size of the undertake
ing may be gained from the fact that
about 5000. 900 envelopes have been or
bred for use in connection with 1t.
The present census of manufactures
