MICHIGAN | DEPARTMENT OF STATE, \ OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, | Lansing, May, 1894. ‘In the preparation of the instructions contained in this pamphlet, the instructions for taking the United States census have been copied when- ever applicable. The census is to be taken pursuant to the provisions of Act No. 178 laws pf 1893. The act is published on pages 22 to 28 of this pamphlet. APPOINTMENT OF ENUMERATORS. Census enumerators and assistants are to be appointed in townships by township boards, and in cities by common councils. OATH OF OFFICE. Enumerators and assistants are required within five days after appoint- ment to take and subscribe the constitutional oath of office, and file the same, if a township enumerator, with the township clerk, and if a city enumerator, with the city clerk. The constitutional oath of office when taken by enumerators should read as follows: I dosolemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the constitution of the United States and the constitution of this State, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of census enumerator in the township, (city, ward or census district as the case may be) of-——,, county of ; Michigan, as specified in act number one hundred and seventy-eight, laws of eighteen hundred and ninety-three, entitled “An act to provide for tak- 4 CENSUS OF MICHIGAN, 1894. , ing the census and statistics of this State,” approved May 31, 1893, accord- ing to the best of my ability. The above oath is to be subscribed before a notary public, justice of the peace or some other officer authorized to take acknowledgments. (See section 2, census law.) DATE OF CENSUS. + The census of population is to be taken as of date June 1, 1894. (See section 4, census law.) DELIVERY OF BLANKS TO ENUMERATORS. It is the duty of the county clerk to cause to be delivered to the census enumerator of each township and census district in his county, on or before the twentieth day of May, one copy of this pamphlet of instructions and a sufficient number of the census schedules to take the census and statistics of his township or census district. (See section 16, census law. ) « -.By--the above-provision it is clearly the-duty of the county clerk -to personally carry or send the pamphlet and schedules to each enumerator, ‘should such a course be necessary; but as the law provides in section eight that the enumerator shall receive “ten cents per mile for going t6 the office of the county clerk to obtain the necessary blank schedules,” the enumerators have been requested by circular letters sent them in care of the supervisors, to personally apply for and receive the schedules at the office of the county clerk, as by so doing all risk of loss in transmission will be avoided. _ BEGINNING, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF ENUMERATION. Enumerators are to begin the enumeration on the first day of June, and prosecute the canvass from that day forward on each week-day, without intermission except for sickness or other urgent cause, and they are to complete the census on or before the thirtieth day of June. Any unneces- sary cessation of work is sufficient ground for removal. (See section 4, census law.) For penalties for neglect of duty by enumerator, see section 11, census law. DUTIES OF ENUMERATORS. The census enumerator, after qualifying as above, is to visit personally during the month of June, each dwelling house in his township or census INSTRUCTIONS TO ENUMERATORS. 5 \ district, and each family therein, and each individual living out of a family in any place of abode, and by inquiry made of the head of the family, or of the member of the family deemed most credible and worthy of trust, or of such individual living out of a family, to obtain each and every item of information required by the census law and census schedules. (See section 5 and last sentence of section 9, census law.) The word enumerator, as used in section 5, includes also the assistant enumerator. The assistant enumerator after qualifying, is to visit per- sonally during the month of June, each dwelling house in that part of the township or census district assigned him, and each family therein, etc., the same as required of the enumerator. Wherever necessary to carry out the intent and meaning of the law the word “enumerator” means also “assistant enumerator.” The township board or common council, in appointing assistants, may designate the district or territory within which each assistant is to perform his duties; but in case this is not done by the township board or common council, then it is the duty of the enumerator to make such. assignment of territory. The enumerator and assistants will not fail to note that they are to visit personally each dwelling house, etc., that is, each is to make the canvass of his own district himself. He cannot delegate his authority to any other person. He cannot do the work by proxy. They are to visit, not only each dwelling house and each family, but each individual living out of a family. Individuals living out of families, include all those persons, more numerous in cities than elsewhere, who have no certain, fixed place of abode. They may be found in lofts in public buildings, above stores, warehouses, factories, stables, and possi- bly during the warm weather of June while the census is being taken, may lodge in dry-goods boxes in the rear of business buildings, or in some other out-of-the-way place; it will also include persons living solitary in cabins, huts or tents; persons, inhabitants of this State, sleeping on boats, barges, etc., having no other usual place of abode, and persons in police stations having no homes. Of the classes just mentioned, the most important numerically, is the class of persons who occupy rooms in public buildings, or above stores, warehouses, factories, and stables. In order to reach such persons the enumerator will need not only to keep his eyes open to all indications of such casual residence, but to make inquiry both of the parties occupying the business portion of such buildings, and also of the police. A letter will be addressed from this office to the mayor of every city of the State,. 6 . CENSUS OF MICHIGAN, 1894. requesting the coéperation of the police, so far as it may be necessary, to prevent the omission of the classes of persons herein indicated. It is further provided, that in case no person shall be found at the usual place of abode of such family, or individual living out of a family, competent to answer the inquiries made in compliance with the require- ments of the act, then it shall be lawful for the enumerator to obtain the required information, as nearly as may be practicable, from any reliable source. (See Sec. 5, census law.) ‘ It is the prime object of the enumeration to obtain the name and the requisite particulars of every inhabitant of the State, June 1, 1894, of whatever age, sex, color, race or condition, with this single exception, viz.: that “Indians not taxed” shall be omitted from the enumeration. INDIANS. By the phrase “Indians not taxed” is meant persons of Indian descent who are not civilized, or are members of any tribe. Indians not in tribal relations, whether full-bloods or half-breeds, who are found mingled with the white population, residing in white families, engaged as servants or laborers, or living in huts or wigwams on the out- skirts of towns or settlements, are to be regarded as a part of the ordinary population of the State for the constitutional purpose of re-arrangement of the senate districts, and apportionment of representatives in the State House of Representatives. CENSUS OF VILLAGES. The census of each village is to be taken separately from that of the township in which such village is located. (See Sec. 5, census law. ) The word “ yillage” must be understoud to include not only incorpo- rated villages, but any assemblage of houses, each situated on a small par- cel of land, such as is usually called a village lot. The postoffice, one or more stores, blacksmiths’ shops, etc., will generally, perhaps always, be found in these small unincorporated villages. As to the boundaries of such villages the enumerator must, of course, be the judge. ‘ Just preceding the space required for the enumeration of a village, the enumerator should leave three blank lines, and over the first entry. write the words, “ Village of —-—,” and at the end of the enumeration he should write the words, “ Here ends the village of —,” and leave another space of three blank lines. INSTRUCTIONS TO ENUMERATORS. 7: i CENSUS OF WARDS. ‘The census of each ward should be taken separately from that of every other ward in the city. In filling the schedules an enumerator whose cen- sus district includes more that one ward, should begin the census of each ward with a new page. . COURTESY ON THE PART OF ENUMERATORS. It is the duty of an enumerator in the exercise of his authority to visit houses and interrogate members of families resident therein as provided by law, to use great courtesy and consideration. A rude, peremptory, or overbearing demeanor would not only be a wrong to the families visited, but would work an injury to the census, by rendering the members of ‘those families less disposed to give information with fullness and exact- ness. It would doubtless be found in the long run to be an injury to the enumerator himself and to retard his work. By the above remark it is not intended to imply that the enumerator need enter into extended explanations, or give time to anything beyond the strictly necessary work of interrogation. It is entirely possible for the enumerator to be prompt, rapid and decisive in announcing his object and his authority, and in going through the whole list of questions to be proposed, and at the same time not to arouse any antagonism or give any offense. THE OBLIGATION TO GIVE INFORMATION. It is not within the choice of any inhabitant of the State, whether he shall or shall not communicate the information required by the census law. By section 13 of the census law it is provided: That each and every person more than eighteen years of age, belonging to any fam- ily 1esiding in any township, or census district; and in case of the absence of the heads and other members of any such family, then any agent of such family shall be, and each of them hereby is required, when thereto requested by the census enumerator, to render a true account, to the best of his or her knowledge, of every person belonging to such family, and whoever shall wilfully fail or refuse shall be guilty of a misde- meanor, and upon conviction thereof shall forfeit and pay a sum of fifty dollars, or be confined in the county jail not more than six months. And every owner, lessee, ‘agent, or manager in charge of any establishment of productive industry, or farm, and every president, treasurer, secretary, general agent, or managing director of every corporation owning or operating any such establishment or farm, who shall, when thereto requested by the census enumerator, wilfully neglect or refuse to give true and complete answers to any inquiries authorized by this act, shall forfeit and pay a sum not less than five hundred, nor more than five thousand dollars, and in addition shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be imprisoned in the county jail for a term not exceeding one year. And it shall be the duty of the census enumerator to promptly notify the prosecuting attorney of his county of any penalty incurred in his township or census district under the provisions of this section. 8 CENSUS OF MICHIGAN, 1894. Enumerators will, however, do well not unnecessarily to obtrude the compulsory feature of the enumeration. It will be found in the vast majority of cases that the persons called upon to give information will do so without objection or delay. It is only where information required by law is refused that the penalties for non-compliance need be referred to. The enumerator willthen quietly, but firmly, point out the consequences of persistency in refusal. It is further to be noted that the enumerator is not required to accept answers which he knows, or has reason to believe, are false. He has a right to a true statement on every matter respecting which he is bound to inquire, and a false statement is not to prevent further investigation. Should any person persist in making statements which are obviously erroneous, the enumerator should enter upon the schedule the facts as nearly as he can ascertain them by his own observation or by inquiry of credible persons. The foregoing remark is of special importance with reference to the statements of the heads of families respecting afflicted members of their households. The law requires a return in the case of each blind, deaf and dumb, epileptic, insane and idiotic person. It not infrequently happens that fathers and mothers, especially the latter, are disposed to conceal, or even to deny, the existence of such infirmities on the part of children. In such cases, if the fact is personally known to the enumerator, or shall be ascertained by inquiry from credible sources, it should be entered on the schedules equally as if obtained from the head of the family. A second class of cases under this head concerns the reporting of values. The enumerator is not- bound by any statement which he knows or has reason to believe to be false. His duty is to report the actual facts as nearly as he can ascertain them. CARE IN FILLING THE SCHEDULES. In making the entries use pen and ink. Do not use pencils of any kind. Enumerators should be careful to write both names and figures clearly and neatly, without interlineations, erasures, or blots, inasmuch as no copy of the schedules is provided to be made by the existing census law, and the original schedules are to be returned to the office of the Secretary of State, at Lansing, for examination and compilation. Great care should also be exercised in making the entries upon the proper line and in the proper column. A little heedlessness in this respect will often produce the most serious confusion. The schedules to be used have been arranged to help the enumerator to find the proper place and column INSTRUCTIONS TO ENUMERATORS. 9 through the use of occasional heavy lines, both horizontal and vertical, by which the éye may be guided to find easily and surely the true place of | entry. REVIEW OF SCHEDULE NO. 1. On the completion of the canvass of his township or census district, the enumerator is required to notify the township or city clerk, as the case may be, that he has completed the census schedules. Such clerk is there- upon to call a meeting of the township board, or boards of review of assessments in cities. The enumerator and board, at such meeting, are to review Schedule No. 1, for the purpose of ‘striking out persons improperly enumerated, and of adding persons improperly omitted.. But no change is to be made in the schedule except by the enumerator and by him only on evidence satisfactory to himself that such change is necessary to the accuracy of the schedule. To secure such evidence the enumerator is authorized to swear and examine witnesses who shall testify subject to, the pains and penalties of perjury. If the enumerator refuses to make any change deemed necessary by the board, the board is required to make a certified statement of the change demanded, which statement is to be attached to and returned with the schedule, by the enumerator, and the enumerator is also to attach to and return with the schedule a certified statement of his reasons for not complying with the demand of the board. (See Sec. 6, census law.) The review of Schedule No, 1 is very important, hence should be made as thorough as possible. The review should be public, and the inhabitants of the township or census district generally invited to be present. Every suggestion of improper omission or improper enumeration should be immediately acted upon, and correction made if necessary. The enumer- ator must not forget, however, that he alone is responsible for the accuracy of the schedule, and that he is not required to make any change except upon evidence satisfactory to himself that such change is necessary. Tf, the evidence obtainable does not satisfy him that the proposed change is proper and should be made, he had better require the board to make the certificate provided for in the law, and return the same with the schedule, together with his own certificate of reasons for refusing to comply with their demands. Only Schedule No. 1 is to be reviewed. All other schedules are to be considered confidential, and are not to be exhibited to any one. The review of Schedule No. 1 is to be made only after completing the canvass of the entire township or district. The assistant enumerators will make their returns to the enumerator, and the enumerator, not the assist- 2 10 _ CENSUS OF MICHIGAN, 1894. N ant enumerator, will ‘notify the township clerk or city clerk that he has completed the census of his township,” etc. (See Sec. 6.) Every, assist- ant however should.attend the review. ‘ RETURN OF SCHEDULES TO COUNTY CLERK. The enumerator, immediately after the review of schedule one, jis required to return the original census schedules, duly certifed, to the county clerk of his county, as his returns under the provision of the census law. (See Sec. 7, census law.) Section 8 of the census law provides that the enumerator shall receive “ten cents per mile for conveying the returns to the office of the county clerk.” Although the law does not prohibit their transmission in some other way, it is fair to presume that it was intended that the enumerator should personally carry his returns to the office of the county clerk. This is certainly the safest means of trans- mission, and this department would recommend no other, Enumerators are especially requested to not entrust the returns to the mails in any case. The enumerator should attach to each schedule a certificate in the fol- lowing form, and each assistant will attach the same certificate to each of his schedules: I do hereby certify that the census and statistics set forth in the schedules hereunto ° annexed, have been made out in every respect, in conformity with the provisions of the act for taking the census and statistics of this State, for the year eighteen hun- dred and ninety-four, and that they are complete, and accurate, according to my best knowledge and belief. Po Seee Se ESE eS ; EXNNUMERATOR. The schedules, in number deemed sufficient for the enumeration, will be sent to enumerators in portfolios, designed to be used in the enumeration. So far as possible, the schedules should be kept habitually in the portfolio until the enumeration is finished, and then carried together with the port- folio, by the enumerator and deposited with the county clerk of the county. The county clerk will carefully pack the several portfolios, with their proper schedules enclosed, and send them to the Secretary of State. Six schedules have been provided for the enumeration of the several subjects of inquiry at the census, as follows: Schedule 1.—Population. Schedule 2.—Mortality. Schedule 3.—Agriculture. Schedule 4.—Manufactories, Mines, Fisheries. Schedule 5.—Libraries, Churches. Schedule 6.—Fatm Laborers. INSTRUCTIONS TO ENUMERATORS. 11 ; SCHEDULE I.—POPULATION. This is the population or family schedule. Upon it is to be entered the name of every man, woman and child, who, on the first day of June, 1894, shall be an inhabitant of the enumerator’s township (ward or census dis- trict). No child born between the first day of June, 1894, and the day of the enumerator’s visit (say June 5 or 11 or 17) is to be entered upon the schedule. On the other hand, every person who was a resident of the district upon the first day of June, 1894, but between that date and the day of the enumerator’s visit shall have died, should be entered on the schedule precisely as if still living. The object of the schedule is to obtain a list of the inhabitants on the first day of June, 1894, and all changes after that date, whether in the nature of gain or of loss, are to be disregarded in the enumeration. : : DWELLING HOUSES. In column No. 1 of this schedule is to be entered the number of the dwelling house in the order of visitation.. A dwelling house for the pur- poses of the census, means any building or place of abode, of whatever character, material or structure, in which any person is at the time living, whether ina room above a warehouse or factory, a loft above a stable, or a wigwam on the outskirts of a settlement, equally with a dwelling house in the usual, ordinary sense of that term. Wholly uninhabited dwellings are not to be taken notice of. FAMILIES. In the column numbered 2 is to be entered the number, in the order of visitation, of each family residing in the district. The word family, for the purposes of the census, includes persons living alone, as previously described, equally with families in the ordinary sense of that term, and also all larger aggregations of people having only the tie of a common roof and table. A hotel (or a boarding house), with all its inmates consti- ‘tutes but one family within the meaning of this term. A hospital, a prison, an asylum is equally a family for the purposes of the census. On the other hand, the solitary inmate of a cabin, a loft, or a room finished off above a store, constitutes a family in the meaning of the census act. In the case, however, of tenement houses and of the so-called “ flats” of the cities, as many families are to be recorded as there are separate tables, and in case of the joint occupancy of a dwelling house by two or more families as, for instance, by a father and his family, and by a married son or son- in-law and his family, there should be as many families recorded as there 12 CENSUS OF MICHIGAN, 1894. are distinct and complete families even though they have a common table. . FAMILIES BOARDING. AT HOTELS, ETC. ’ When one or more families board at any hotel or boarding-house all the members of each of such families should be enumerated together in the usual order, that is the husband and wife first and after them the . children in the order of their ages and after the children the servants, etc., and the relationship of each of the children, servants, etc., to the husband and wife should be given precisely as indicated in the heading to column 7 of Schedule 1, viz.: “Son,” “ Daughter,” “Servant,” etc. ° NAMES, In column numbered 3 is to be entered the name of every person who was, on the first day of June, 1894, a member of this family, that is the family the enumerator is at the time enumerating, the person being also an inhabitant of the township (city or ward). It is difficult under the American system of a protracted enumeration, to give directions which will wholly obviate’ the danger that some persons will be reported in two places and others not reported at all. Much must be left to the judgment of the enumerator, who can, if he will take the pains, in the great majority of instances satisfy himself as to the propriety of including or not including doubtful cases in his enumeration of any given family. In the cases of boarders at hotels or students at schools or col- leges, the enumerator can, by one or two well-directed inquiries, ascér- tain whether the person concerning whom the question may arise has, at the time,. any other place of abode within another township (ward or census district), at which he is likely to be reported. Sea-faring men are to be reported at their land homes, no matter how long they may have been absent, if they are supposed to be still alive. Hence, sailors tempo- rarily at a sailors’ boardiug house or lodging house, if they acknowledge any other home within the State, are not to be included in the family of the lodging or boarding-house. Persons engaged in internal transporta- tion, canal men, express men, railroad men, etc., if they habitually return to their homes in the intervals of their occupations, will be reported as of their families, and not where they may be temporarily staying on the first day of June, 1894. In entering names in column 3, the name of the father, mother or other ostensible head of the family (in the case of hotels, jails, etc., the landlord, jailer, etc.), is to be entered first of the family. The family name is to be f INSTRUCTIONS TO ENUMERATORS. - 18 i 2 written first in the column, and the full first or characteristic Christian or “given” name of each member of the family in order thereafter. It is desirable that the children of the family proper should follow in the order of their ages, as will naturally be the case. So long as the family name remains the same for the several members it need not be repeated, pro- vided a distinct horizontal line or dash be drawn in the place it would occupy, thus: Smith, John. , Elizabeth. : —, Henry J. PERSONAL DESCRIPTION. The columns 4, 5 and 6, which relate to age, sex, and color, must in every case be filled. The county clerk will be instructed to accept no return where these spaces are left blank. Ages.—The age in years of each and every inhabitant one year old and over will be inserted in figures in column 4 whenever the same can be obtained; otherwise, the nearest approximation thereto. Children who, on the Ist day of June, 1894, were less than a year old, will have their age stated by the fractional part of the year, as (one month) 5, (three months) 7, (nine months) +, ete. If a child is less than a month old state the age in a fraction thus, 74. The following will aid in determining the age of children under one year old: A child born in June (1893) will be reported___..__-____-__- Gaal uy A child born in July (1893) will be reported___.__---------.------ 18 A child born in August (1893) will be reported__________---_- ae by A child born in September (1893) will be reported___.__---_-.-._- & A child born in October (1893) will be reported__-..-----L--------- te A child born in November: (1893) will be reported_______--__-__-- ie A child born in December (1893) will be reported___.-_-__--___---- ay _A child born in January (1894) will be reported____.__._-___.-._- as A child born in February (1894) will be reported___-....----_____- 7 A child born in March (1894) will be reported...--.---.----------- ae A child born in April (1894) will be reported____.__.-------------- ai: A child born in May (1894) will be reported_.._..-.-.--.---.------ ys ‘Color.—It must not be assumed that where nothing is written in this column “white” is to be understood. The,column is always to be filled. Be particularly careful in reporting the class mulatto. The word is here generic, and includes quadroon, octoroons, and all persons having any 14 CENSUS OF MICHIGAN, 1894. perceptible trace of African blood. In reporting color use no abbrevia- tions except those given in the heading to the column, viz.: “Mul.” for mulatto, “Chi.” for Chinese; and “Ind.” for Indian. The words “White” and “ Black” should be written out in full. . -Sex.—In reporting sex write the words “Male,” and “Female,” in full. CIVIL CONDITION. _ In giving the Civil Condition (column 8) the words “Single.” “ Mar- ried,” ‘“‘ Widowed,” and “ Divorced,” should be written out in full. “MARRIED WITHIN CENSUS YEAR.” The question in column 9 relates solely to persons whose names appear in column numbered 3.. The question should be asked with respect to every person except those known to be single or never to have been married. Opposite the names of single persons and others who were not married during the census year, the enumerator will write the word “No,” in column 9. MOTHER OF HOW MANY CHILDREN AND NUMBER OF THESE CHILDREN LIVING, COL- UMNS 10 AND 11. These inquiries are to be made concerning all women who are or have been married, including those widowed or divorced. Where a mother has given birth to a child during the census year, the number in column 10 will just equal the total in columns 15, 16 and 18. PLACE OF BIRTH. In column numbered 12 is to be reported the “ place of birth” of every person named upon the schedule, and in columns 13 and 14 the place of ' birth of the parents of every person named upon the schedule. If born within the United States the State or Territory will be named. If of for- eign birth the country will be named as specifically as possible. Instead of writing “Great Britain” as the place of birth, give the particular country, as England, Scotland, Wales. Instead of “Germany,” specify the State, as Prussia, Baden, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Hesse-Darmstadt, etc. Tf, however, the particular State cannot be ascertained, write “United . States,” “Germany,” etc. Do not in any case designate a person as ‘“ American,” or born in “ America.” Ifin any case it be impossible to ascertain the place of birth write the word “ unknown.” INSTRUCTIONS TO ENUMERATORS. 15 BIRTHS. Questions 15 to 18 inclusive, “Children born to the family during cen- sus year,’ and “Number of children previously born of same mother,” though questions the enumerator may feel some delicacy in asking, are of importance, and should be asked promptly and in a business-like manner, yet, of course, with courtesy, the same as other census questions. If thus asked they will doubtless be answered with equal promptness and accuracy. The month of birth (column 17) will enable the enumerator to calculate the age of the child. See directions in paragraph entitled “Ages” on page 13. ‘ OCCUPATION. In column numbered 19 is to be reported the occupation of each and every inhabitant of the State on the first day of June, 1894. Occupation.—The inquiry “‘ profession, occupation or trade,” is one of the most important questions of this schedule. Make a study of it. Take especial pains to avoid unmeaning terms, or such as are too general to con- vey a definite idea of the occupation. Call no mana “factory hand” or a “mill operative.” State the kind of a mill or factory. The better form of expression would be “ works in woolen factory,” “ etc. Do not ealla man a “ shoemaker,” or “ bootmaker,” unless he makes the entire boot or shoe in a small shop. If he works in (or for) a boot and shoe factory, say so. Call no man a “ commissioner,” a “ collector,” an works in paper mill,” “c 6c artist,” an “overseer,” a “ professor,” a “ treasurer,” a “ contractor,” or a “specu- lator,” without further explanation. ‘When boys are entered as apprentices, state the trade they are appren- ticed to, as “ apprenticed to carpenter,” “apothecary’s apprentice.” Stu- dents or scholars should be reported under those names. When a lawyer, a merchant, a manufacturer, has retired from practice or business, say “ retired lawyer,” “ retired merchant,” etc. Distinguish between fire and life insurance agents. When clerks are returned, describe them as “clerk in store, woolen mill,” “RB. R. clerk,” “bank clerk,” etc. Describe no man as a “ mechanic,” if it is possible to describe him more accurately. Distinguish between stone masons and brick masons. Do not call a bonnet maker a bonnet manufacturer, a wagon maker a wagon manufacturer, a paper maker a paper manufacturer; in other words, do not call an employé in a shop or factory a manufacturer, but reserve agent,” an » “clerk in 1 16 CENSUS OF MICHIGAN, 1894. the term “manufacturer” for proprietors of establishments. Always give the branch of manufacture, as “ paper manufacturer,” “ woolen manufact- urer,” “manufacturer of wagons,” etc. Whenever merchants or traders can be reported under a single word expressive of their special line, as “grocer,” it should be done. Other- wise, say “dry goods merchant,” ‘‘ coal dealer,” etc. Use the word “‘huckster ” in all cases where it applies. Be very particular to distinguish between farmers and farm laborers. In agricultural districts this should be one of the points to which the enumerator should especially direct his attention. . Confine the use of the words “ glover,” “ hatter,” and “ furrier,” to those who actually make, or make up, in their own establishments, all or a part of the gloves and hats or furs which they sell. Those who only sell these articles should be characterized as “glove dealer,” “hat and cap dealer,” “fur dealer.” All officials should have their profession designated, if they have any, as ‘retired merchant, county clerk,” “paper manufacturer, representative in legislature.” If anything is to be omitted, leave out the office, and put in the occupation. ' No distinction need be made in the character of the work performed by domestics or house servants. Report all as “ domestic servants.” Cooks, waiters, etc., in hotels and restaurants, will be reported separately from domestic servants, as “cook in hotel,” etc. The term “ housekeeper” will be reserved for such persons as receive distinct wages or salary for the service. A woman keeping house for her own family, or for herself, without any other gainful occupation, will be entered as “housewife.” For grown daughters assisting her, the entry ‘should be “ at home.” : You are under no obligation to give any man’s occupation just as he expresses it. If he cannot tell intelligibly what he is, find out what he does, and characterize his occupation accordingly. ‘The inquiry as to occupation will not be asked in respect to infants or children tooJyoung to take any part in production. The entry for such should be “at home.” Neither will the doing of domestic errands or family chores out of school be considered an occupation. ‘ At home,” or “attending school,” will be the best entry in a majority of cases. But if a boy or girl, whatever the age, is earning money regularly by labor, con- tributing to the family support, or appreciably assisting in mechanical or agricultural industry, the occupation should be stated. ‘ INSTRUCTIONS TO ENUMERATORS. li MONTHS UNEMPLOYED DURING THE CENSUS YEAR (JUNE 1, 1893, TO MAY 31, 1804), COLUMN 20, ' If a person having a gainful occupation was unemployed during any part of the census year if should be so stated in months and parts of a month. If, as may often happen, a person was unemployed at his usual occupation for some time during the census year and yet found other tem- porary employment for some part or the whole of the time, such tempo- rary employment will reduce the time unemployed. For instance, a person’s occupation may be that of “ Farm laborer,” at which he may have had no employment for three months during the census year. ‘During two of ‘these three months, however, he may have worked in a shop, so that, so far as actual idleness is concerned; he was only out of work one month. For all persons not engaged in gainful occupations . the symbol ex” should be used. . ATTENDED SCHOOL WITHIN THE CENSUS YEAR. COLUMNS 24 AND 25. For ALL PERSONS five years old and over the answer “ Yes” or “No” as the case may be, should be written in column 24. In all cases where the. answer in column 24 is “ Yes” the time of attendance should be stated in column 25 in months and fractions, thus: 44. For all persons under five years of age use the symbol “ X.” CAN THE PERSON READ OR WRITE IN ANY LANGUAGE? COLUMNS 26 AND 27, Questions 26 and 27 are to be asked with respect to all persons five years old and over. Write “ Yes” or “ No,” as the case may be. A person may not be able to read or write the English language and yet. may be able to read or write (or both) his native language, as French, Italian, etc. In all such cases, that is, if a person can read or write (or both) some language, the entry in columns 26 and 27 should be “ Yes,” according to the fact. If not able to read or write (or both) in some lan- guage, the answer should be “No.” For all persons under five years of age use the symbol “ X.” ABLE TO SPEAK ENGLISH. IF NOT, THE LANGUAGE OR DIALECT SPOKEN. COLUMN 28, This inquiry should also be made of or concerning every person five years of age or over. If the person is able to speak English so as to be understood in ordinary conversation, write English; otherwise, write the name of the language or dialect in which he usually expresses himself, as German, French, etc. For all persons under five years of age use the symbol “X.” 3 18. CENSUS OF MICHIGAN, 1894. HOSPITALS, ASYLUMS, PRISONS, ETC. Wherever an institution is to be enumerated as a hospital, an asylum, an alms-house, a jail or a penitentiary, the enumerator will leave three lines blank, and enter the name of the institution (as “St. Mary’s Hos- pital,” “ Protestant Orphan Asylum,” “ Insane Asylum,” “ City jail,” etc.) above the names of the inmates. All persons having their usual place of abode in such institutions, whether officers, attendants, beneficiaries or persons in confinement, should then be entered consecutively on the schedules, and at the close of the list another space of three lines should contain only the words: ‘“ Here ends the list of persons confined in or occupying ” (jail, hospital. etc. ). NUMBERING PAGES. Each enumerator will number the pages of his population schedule in exact order as filled, and when filled: the first page (A) of the first sheet must be numbered 1, the second page of that sheet (B) 2, the third page (C) 3, the fourth page (D) 4, the first page of the second sheet 5, the first page of the third sheet 9, and so on throughout his entire township (city, ward or census district). , ‘The enumerator should never place one sheet within another, but fill always the four pages of one sheet (in the order of the letters A, B, C, D) before making any entries on the next sheet. STREETS AND STREET NUMBERS IN CITIES. The first two columns (not numbered in series) on the population schedule require thé entry IN cITIES of the street and street number of each occupied dwelling house. The name of the street should be written lengthwise of the space, and when the street changes, a heavy line should be drawn across the first and second columns. SCHEDULE 2.—MORTALITY. Upon this schedule should be CAREFULLY RETURNED: Ist. Every DEATH which occurred in this township (or census district) ‘during the census year. 2d. Every DEATH which occurred outside of this township (or census district) but within this State, during the census year, if the deceased was at time of death, a member of a family which resided in this township (or census district) on the first day of June, 1894. The enumerator should make the entries upon this schedule with great care, seeking every source of information. When a positive statement is INSTRUCTIONS TO ENUMERATORS. 19 impossible, as when an age can only be estimated, or a birthplace must be conjectured, the entry may be enclosed in parenthesis, thus: Age (23), meaning that the best estimate of the age that can be given is 23 years. SCHEDULE 3.—AGRICULTURE. A number of the crops specified on this schedule are not generally raised by the farmers of the State, but are of considerable local impor- tance. The space provided for the figures of a crop not raised on any given farm should be filled with a waved line thus: “Farms,” for the purpose of the agricultural schedule, include all con- siderable nurseries, orchards and market-gardens which are owned. by separate parties, which are cultivated for pecuniary profit, and employ as much as the labor of one able-bodied workmen during the year. Mere cab- bage and potato patches, family vegetable gardens, and ornamental lawns, not constituting a portion of a farm for general agricultnral purposes will be excluded. No farm will be reported of less than three acres, unless two hundred dollars’ worth of produce has been actually sold off from it during the year. The latter proviso will allow the inclusion of many market-gardens in the neighborhood of large cities, where, although the area is small, a high state of cultivation is maintained and considerable value produced.” A farm is what is owned or leased by one man and cultivated under his care. A distant wood-lot or sheep-pasture, even if in another township, is to be treated as a part of the farm; but wherever there is a resident overseer, or a manager, there a farm is to be reported. One man may own several farms. Each of these farms if under separate management, - as when under the control of a servant or manager living on the property, ' should be reported as a separate farm. The amounts and values of the various crops will be estimated accord- ing to the best judgment of the proprietor or manager where no exact account is kept. Questions 10 and 11 call for the number of rods of open drain, and the number of rods of tile drain, on each farm June 1, 1894. These ques- tions are of great importance as will be readily recognized and appreciated. Perhaps no question relating to farm improvement is of more importance than that of drainage. The figures will be of great value for purposes of comparison with the totals obtained ten years ago. SCHEDULE 4.—MANUFACTORIES, MINES, FISHERIES. The answers to the questions upon this schedule should, so far as possi- ble, be taken from the books of the several establishments. Proprietors | 20 CENSUS OF MICHIGAN, 1894. and managers of establishments of productive industry not infrequently object to furnishing proper answers to census questions in the fear that their private business will in some way be exposed to the public eye: Enumerators should take pains to remove this impression by assuring such that this class of statistics is considered confidential, that the enumerator will in no case communicate, and that he is prohibited by heavy penalties (See Sec. 11, census law), from communicating any of the information ’ required by the schedule, and that when the returns reach the office of the Secretary of State, they will be so tabulated that the facts regarding indi- vidual establishments can in no way be ascertained. The statistics of no establishment will be published except they be aggregated with the statis- tics of other establishments. SCHEDUDE 5.—LIBRARIES, CHURCHES. Any collection of books owned by one person, a corporation, a school district, a township, etc., is a library. The enumerator will notice that it must be a collection of books, that is, books kept in some certain place when not in use, as a book-case. School books, novelettes, old magazines or other miscellaneous works, habitually left scattered around the house because of so little value that no book-case or other proper place has been provided for them, will not be considered a library. The question, “‘ Have you a library?’ should be asked while enumerating each and every family, and should the enumerator briefly define the word “library,” it will doubtless aid in discovering many of those containing but few volumes. { The statistics of public libraries should be obtained of the officers hav- ing them in charge. COMPENSATION OF ENUMERATORS. By section 8 of the census law, the enumerator is to receive two dollars and fifty cents per day of ten hours, for the time he is actually and neces- sarily engaged in canvassing his township or census district, two dollars and fifty cents for the review of schedule number one provided for in section six; ten cents per mile for going to the office of the county clerk to obtain the necessary blank schedules, and ten cents per mile for conveying the returns to the office of the county clerk. The sum due each enumer- ator is to be calculated by the county clerk, who is to make a certificate of the amount, which certificate is to be paid by the county treasurer. Before the county clerk can certify the amount due an enumerator he is to satisfy himself (section 7) that the returns are properly made out and duly certified. The county clerk will be instructed to closely examine ‘INSTRUCTIONS TO ENUMERATORS. 21 1 each census sheet for omissions, erasures, intanlinaatens: and other defects including careless or imperfect entries, and a torn or soiled condition of: the sheets, causing indistinctness in the entries. Every sheet thus defaced will be rejected as not “ properly made out” as required by law. WASHINGTON GARDNER, ‘ Secretary of State. CENSUS LAW.
