The total cost of the session, aside
from the preparation and printing of
the house and senate journals, now
figures $S7,77S.13, according to war;
rants redeemed in the auditors
office. This makes it certain that the
forecast of 100000 in the last article
as the probable cost of the session,
will be reached. 1t is stated that both
the house and the senate journals
will be larger than two years ago
The last house journal ran $50
pages and the senate about 500. 1t
appears, therefore, that the two
journals this year will run at least
1900 pages. The cost of publication
is $125 per page, which would make
the cost of printing alone about 81
500. But before it is printed the
copy must be prepared for the prin-
ter. For this, the chief clerk and
secretary of the senate gets Is cents
per hundred words for their respec-
tive journals. This means a cost of
probably $1,000 or more to prepare
the copy, or a total cost of between
$4,000 and $4,000 for printing the
journals

George NJ Cohan wrote plays long before he

eighteen George not only provided the mono

one season fewer than twoscore OF vaudeville
stars were paying him each $50 a week for the

that he paid this quartet $3.50 week for prac
ticaly the same specially which a very few years
later commanded a weekly honorarium of $4,000,

questions to be asked Of each inhabitant must be
carefully inspected by the clerical force who will
Immediately commence to tabulate them, and
within few weeks it will be possible to ascertain
the number of inhabitants Of the state More
over, within few months many of the details of
this census enumeration will have been compiled
and published.
As to the exact nature Of the inquiries TO be
printed upon these schedules, il is the intention
of the Secretary of States department to obtain
maximum of valuable information with the
smallest possible number of questions. OF course
there are any number of questions which it might
be desirable to ask, but the limitation of time and
space demands that they shall be kept within the
smallest possible compass When these schedules
had been finally prepared and adopted, the next
great problem which confronted the Secretary of
State was to secure suitable persons to
enumerators to ask these questions and gather
this information. OF course, II would be eX-
tremely difficult for the Secretary Of State TO
select from Albany 5000 men from different sec
tons OF the state who would make efficient enum-
orators.
Il has therefore been found advisable 70 divide
the state into the several Assembly districts and
appoint over each census supervisor. There are
$50 Of these districts, while the election districts
which form the basis OF the enumerator's district
number 5,65l. Apportoned in this way the boun-
Diary of each supervisors district has been made
TO conform to an Assembly district. The enumera-
tion of New York State will probably be the larg-
est, most extensive well as intensive single
statistical enterprise ever undertaken in any state
in the Union, for in no other commonwealth are
there many people to be enumerated More
over, in no other state is the population so con
gested in parts, while the number and intensity
of the intorrogatores will be far greater Be
sides. the necessity OF completing the work within
the short space OF time allowed explains the need
Of such large number of enumerators.
Very considerable changes will be made in the
coming census with respect the scope of the in
quries, the methods for conducting the canvass
and the tabulation and publication OF the returns.
OF course, each deeennial census has shown
marked changes compared with its predeces-
sors. Many changes have had TO be made as a
necessary result OF the growth of population and
the increased complexty of the life of the state.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-05-16

The experience of each former census has also
afforded the basis for devsing new methods TO
insure accuracy and effect economy. well Is
new methods Of Analysing the returns so as 10
secure a clear and more complete view OF their
significance
Other additions o, considerable importance
have been made through the population schedule
prepared for the coming census. They include
inquiries concerning the industry in which each
person is employed supplementng the interroga
tories regarding trade profession which ne
pursues; also one distinguishing employer EN-
ploye and persons working their own account
This distinction will throw much light on tho
true industrial position Of the population. hui
additions TO notifications in the subject matter
Of the census are, however. far less important
than increase in accuracy for the great problem ID
census taking is to secure correct returns 10 vac
first instance. Thus the great importance OF the
selection of competent enumerators becomes e''
dent.
One Of the principal difficulties usually en-
countered by the census takers Is the misundef'
standing concerning its purpose and scope anu
the consequent indifference or even hostility
shown TO the enumerator. OF course, many per
sons have usually feared that such an enumers'
ton may De useu as an Instrument w '"NN
for army or jury service or for deportation 10
order to remove these difficulties the Secretary o.
States department is planning to dissem'hs"
widely throughout the state interrogation ress'u'
ing this enumeration
Circulars will be sent to supervisors 20 De as
tributed as extensively possible among persons
of influence in each community. In these ereV
lars efforts will be made TO dissiTate any ms
apprehension or hostility on the subject. ana 'he'
will set forth that no person can possibly % ~
jured in any way as result Of giving informs
tion TO the enumerators. Moreover, that the IN
formation secured will have nothing TO co Sna'
ever with taxation, enforcement Of the immis's
tion law or any other particular statute
One Of the mos important methods OF dissem'
mating information regarding the census, and 'a'
one usually adopted in most foreign countries
has been by the use of advance schedules "h'e"'
the enumerators ar required to distribute "
every family, and the head OF the family Is o"
