RESENT TAKING OF CENSUS
Enumerators in India Find Their Jobs
Full Of Undesirable Thrills
Many Are Beaten.

The trials and tribulations of a staff
of some 100000 census takers TO
find out there were approximately
319,000,000 people in India In 1921,
have been related by J. Marten, cen
sus commissioner for India.
The employment of this huge army
of enumerators, said Mr.. Marten. vas
necessitated by the fact that, owing to
the illiteracy of the population. the
employment of the householder as
enumerators of his household was i'm
possible. He told of instances of
enumerators being stabbed by suspi-
cious Hindus, who considered the cen
sus takers too inquisitiye. Some of
the natives, on the other hand, resort
ed 10 violence when bribery failed TO
induce the census takers to make
false entries showing that the natives
enjoyed higher stations in the social
scale than was really the case.
The census, Mr.. Marten said,
showed gain of IL per cent over the
population of 1911. The average
density of population over the whole
of India was III to the square mile.
The maximum density of any province
was in Bengal, where there were
found to be COS to the square mile.
