OFFICE OF BUREAU OF STATISTICS OF LABOR, 33 Pemberton Square, Boston, April, 187(5. Hon. John D. Long, Speaker of the House of Representatives : Sir, — I have the honor to transmit, herewith, for the information of the Legislature, "The Census System of Massachusetts for 1875.” This volume contains all the sched- ules, blanks, instructions, etc., employed by this Bureau in prosecuting the work of the Decennial Census and Industrial Statistics of the State, for the year ending May 1, 1875, together with a brief description of the system and the methods of tabulation, as well as an account of the number of enumerators and clerks employed, with other particulars respecting the performance of the work. It was thought best to preserve these matters in permanent form, and to that end the principal portion of this volume was printed at the time of use, and from the stereotype plates in the possession of the State. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, CARROLL D. WRIGHT, Chief. [iii.] a TABLE OF CONTENTS. 1. The Industrial Statistics Schedule ........... Pages 1-94 2.

Tabulation Sheet for Families and Population ......... 165 b [v.l THE CENSUS SYSTEM OF MASSACHUSETTS FOR 1S75. The following pages embrace, in addition to the Industrial Statistics Schedule, copies of all the blanks used in taking the decennial census and industrial statistics of 1875. The Industrial Statistics Schedule, with its index and laws, covers the first 109 pages. In order to make clear its origin and illustrate its uses, it is necessary to give a brief sketch of the four preceding censuses taken under the authority of the State. This schedule owes its existence, primarily, to an Act of the Legislature of 1837 (chapter 199), entitled, "An Act to obtain statistical information in relation to certain branches of industry,” the first section of which states, that "the assessors of each town in the Commonwealth shall, between the first day of May and the first day of October next, make a return to the Secretary of the Commonwealth, of the following facts, as they exist in each town on the first day of April, preceding.” The remainder of the section specifies the facts desired. They are substan- tially, the quantity and value of stock used, of goods manufactured, of capital invested, and hands employed, for about forty industries which are enumerated by name, and which were at that time, doubtless, the principal industries carried on in the State. A saving clause provides for obtaining the same facts respecting any "other industries.” By this Act, the products of the soil were not asked for. The only productive property inquired about, were Saxony, merino, and other sheep ; and the questions were in respect to the number of each breed, and to the quantity of each kind of wool produced, "the average weight of fleece per head,” the value of the product, and the capital invested. Inquiries were provided respecting the fisheries of the State, such as the number of vessels engaged in fishing, their tonnage, the kind, quantity, and value of the fish caught, and of salt con- sumed. Section 4 declares that, "each assessor shall receive from the treasury of the Commonwealth, one dollar and twenty-five cents a day for every day that he shall be employed in making the return aforesaid;” section G, that, "if the assessors of any town shall willfully neglect to make the return aforesaid, in the manner aforesaid, such assessors shall forfeit to the Commonwealth a sum not exceeding one hundred dollars.” hTo part of the Act authorizes the use of a legal process to enforce the obligations laid upon assessors, it either being considered that compulsion was unnecessary in a work of such general use- fulness to all, or that, as the native ilew Englander has always been impatient of much [vii.] viii. interference with what he is pleased to term "private rights,” it was thought expedient to trust to the good sense and discretion of the assessors to elicit, in the most practicable way, the information desired. It is probable that the latter was the chief reason for leaving the Act in this comparatively inoperative state. March 21, 1845, an Act (chapter 171) was passed, having the same title as the preced- ing, and similar in form, authorizing the collecting of industrial statistics in that year, the facts to be presented “as they exist in each city or town, on the first day of April next.” This Act differed in no way from that of 1837, — the language employed, even, being iden- tical with it, — except that additions were made to the heads of industries enumerated, making the number mentioned about ninety, inclusive of some having reference to products and productive property. The principal items in the latter class, are certain domestic animals, such as horses, asses, nudes, neat cattle, and swine, of which the number and value was asked. In regard to agricultural products, the quantity raised, and the value of the following were called for: Indian corn, wheat, rye, barley, oats, millet, "potatoes, and other esculent vegetables,” hay, hemp, flax, hops, tobacco, raw silk, teasels, "fruit of various kinds,” butter, cheese, honey, and beeswax. May 21, 1855, an Act was passed, having the same title as the two preceding, making provision for again gathering statistics of "industry” in the Commonwealth, a decade having elapsed since the previous census was taken, and it being the intermediary year between the decennial censuses taken by the national government. This Act required "the facts as they exist on the first day of June next,” instead of April, as had been required by the former Acts, and it was provided that assessors should be paid two dollars per day, instead of one dollar and a quarter. Otherwise there was hardly a change in the whole text of the Act. April 24, 1805, there was passed " an Act to obtain the industrial statistics of the Commonwealth” (chapter 146), the first section of which provided that, "the aldermen of each city, and the selectmen of each town in the Commonwealth, shall, between the first day of May and the first day of September, in the year eighteen hundred and sixty-five, and also, between the first day of May and the first day of September in every tenth year thereafter, make to the Secretary of the Commonwealth the returns hereinafter specified,” such returns being required to relate to the facts as they exist on said first day of May, or to the facts for the year ending on that day. By this Act it is seen that the collection of the statistics was transferred from assessors, to the aldermen of cities and the selectmen of towns. This change was made, doubtless, to secure greater fulness and accuracy in the returns. The Secretary of the Commonwealth, in his letter submitting to the Senate a statement of the statistics of 1855, says: “It is next to impossible for the tax payer, when called upon by the assessors to answer such questions as were propounded under the law, to divest his mind of the impression of an intimate connection between his answers and the assessment of his taxes ; hence the general tendency to understate results, and an absolute refusal, in numerous instances, to answer at all. The Act of 1865 makes a third change in the date to which the statistics should relate, fixing it as the first day of May. Section 5 IX. provides that, "if any person shall refuse to give the information required in said first section, he shall forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding one hundred dollars.” The general inquiries provided by this Act, were substantially the same as for the Acts of 1837, 1845, and 1855; but the specific heads of "industries,” as by a legislative misnomer the statistics of the Commonwealth have continued to be called, respecting which the information was desired, were increased to two hundred and seventeen, nearly one-third of which had refer- ence to the land and its products, domestic animals and fisheries. Censuses of the people relating, however, to but few particulars, have been taken at various times. There were Colonial censuses in 1754, 1765, and 1776, and State censuses were ordered in 1837, 1840, 1850. The census has, also, been taken in Massachusetts under the national government, each tenth year since 1790. The regular decennial enumeration of the inhabitants, under State authorization, was begun in 1855, in connection with the collection of the industrial statistics. Section 2, of the Act passed May 21, 1855, entitled "An Act to secure a Decennial Census,” specifies that, "this enumeration shall distinguish the males and the females, and the color of each ; the natives and the foreigners, and of the latter, the country in which they were born; and it shall determine the ages of the population within decennial periods.” The occupations of the people, the number of dwellings, the number of families, and the number of deaf, dumb, blind, insane, and idiotic persons, and of convicts, were also determined. The decennial census of 1865, was taken under the law to be found on page 107. This Act is still operative, and formed a part of the authority under which the present work has been done. The full text of the Act under which the industrial statistics of 1875 were collected, can be found on page three of this volume. There was no schedule of heads of industries incorporated in this latter Act ; but section 3 provides that the Bureau of Statistics of Labor shall revise the schedule of 1865, and also make such alterations and additions as the secretary of the board of education, the secretary of the board of agriculture, and the insurance commissioner should suggest, and that such revised schedule should be laid before the Governor and Council, on or before the first day of December following, and when approved by them, should be substituted for the schedule of 1865. In compliance with this law, the officers of the Bureau, to whom was committed the duty of securing the enforcement of its provisions, prepared the "Industrial Statistics Schedule for 1875.” December 12, 1874, it was submitted to the Governor and Council, was by them referred to a special committee, which ten days later reported that they took "great pleasure in recommending its approval.” It was immediately approved, and thus became a main portion of the law under which the census of the people and statistics of industries, products, etc., of 1875, were taken. One thousand copies were immediately printed, in the same form in which it appears here, with a complete index of subjects, and the laws relating to the work. In previous decades there had been considerable dissatisfaction among statisticians, on account of the inexactness and incompletness of the information obtained. But how to C X. provide for securing information fuller and more exact, is easier to be seen now, than fore- seen then. In future years, it will doubtless be an easy matter to perform a work of this kind, so that far more satisfactory results than the present, shall be obtained. The causes of miscarriage, hitherto, seem to have lain mainly, in five points : firstly, that the work was done by assessors ; secondly, that they were not properly instructed bow to do it ; thirdly, that the people themselves were wholly uninstructed ; fourthly, that hundreds of industries and products were not inquired about specifically, but only as "other industries;” fifthly, that the people were not compelled to reply. In regard to the first, it is plain that there could be no more ill-chosen men for such a work, than those whose business it is, under other laws, to appraize property and assess taxes ; in regard to the second, the instruc- tions and blanks which they received for carrying out the work, were the meagre and ill-digested products of hasty legislation, the best that could be prepared, no doubt, under the circumstances, but none the less imperfect and poorly calculated to secure valuable results ; for instance, the schedule for 1845 contained inquiries respecting cards , without mentioning whether playing, visiting, wool, or animal cards were meant. In regard to the third, the people were, to a great extent, ignorant of the scientific, political, and economic objects of such a work, and consequently suspicious of the uses to which the information would be put. In regard to the fourth, hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of manufactures were returned in 1845 and 1855, simply as " other industries,” and in 1865, about thirteen million of dollars’ Avorth were so returned. In regard to the fifth, it could scarcely be expected that there would be universal compliance with a law which provided no punitive means to secure it, and which was, therefore, in the nature of a recom- mendation rather than a demand. There were various other causes which more or less affected the value of the results. Some assessors made no return of industries not inquired for by name. On many of the blanks, notably in 1845, but a single question would be answered, and in the work of tabulation, estimates inserted. In vieAV of all these facts, it was deemed essential that the schedule for 1875 should be prepared with the utmost care. The principal features of divergence from former schedules are as follows : its classification of subjects into manufactures, occupations, products and property ; the uniformity of all queries in each division ; the minute specification, under each general head, of the subjects inquired about. The exchange of commodities by trade, and the valuation of property, were beyond the pale of the law. The object desired, Avas the production of the State and the condition of its people , and investigation showed that the former was all included under the four divisions mentioned. The first division contains fifty general heads, and one thousand and seventy-six special ; the second contains three general, and eighty-six special ; the third, tAvo general, and one hundred and twenty- five special ; the fourth, three general, and fifty special. The entire number of special heads is one thousand three hundred and thirty-seven. The inquiries which relate to the subjects in the first division are almost invariably six in number, and uniform in language. In but very few cases, and only when necessity compelled, is there any divergence from this plan. Experience has shown that too much care can not be exercised in the form of a XI. question which it is desirable should be understood alike by thousands of persons. What • was intended to be the same question, in the schedules of some former censuses, is asked in as many as fifteen different ways. While such literary carelessness can not be admired, it would yet be hypercritical to notice it, were it not that the various writings received various interpretations, and produced results sometimes different from what was intended. In the second, third, and fourth divisions, the same regard was paid to exactness and agree- ment in the queries, but the exigences of the subjects demanded that they should be, sometimes, more or less than six. In the long list of other questions soon to be referred to, the same care was exercised that each should express exactly what was meant. In spite of all the thought given to these apparently trifling matters, it happened that misapprehension arose in regard to the intent of some inquiries. Inquiry twenty-two, page 93, will serve as an example ; amount deposited in savings banks by each family : or, as it appeared when put to each individual, amount deposited in savings banks by your family or yourself. This was understood by some to mean, the amount on deposit on the first day of May, 1875, and by others, from the use of the past participle, the amount deposited during the year ending May 1, 1875. The value of the returns was so much vitiated by this misunderstanding, that they were not used. The inquiries so far considered, relate to the first object to be attained by the work, — the production of the State. The second object, — the condition of its people , — is provided for by thirty-four supplemental questions, relating to persons employed in the manufactures enumerated in the first division, by forty-two relating to persons employed in the occupa- tions enumerated in the second, and by certain special inquiries to be found in division V. (page 89). These latter embrace twenty-six inquiries, relating mainly to employers and their establishments, twenty-four relating to individuals, eighteen submitted by the secretary of the board of education, and three submitted by the insurance commissioner. The whole number of inquiries amount to two hundred and eighty-five. On page 107 are fourteen inquiries (by sub-divisions, making nineteen) relating to the enumeration of the people, which formed a portion of the law of 1865, and are still operative. The whole number of different questions asked, then, by this census, is three hundred and four. In regard to the third principal feature of divergence from the schedules of former years, — the minute specification, under each general head, of the subjects inquired about, — a few words will be of value, in order to show how this object was attained. An examination of the previous reports of decennial statistics, will show plainly that if the system inaugu- rated in 1837 of enumerating subjects about which inquiry should be made, was to be continued, as it has been in all censuses since, including the present, too much particularity conld not be employed. There is no doubt but manufactures and products, amounting to large sums, have not been returned in former years, and in many cases, this was owing to there being no inquiry for the thing by name. In the preparation of the present schedule, fulness of detail was attained by the following means: a printed list of the articles manu- factured and the products raised, mentioned in the schedule of 1865, was prepared and sent to the assessors of every town and city, with a request to add the names of all manufactures Xll. or products belonging to their respective towns or cities, not appearing thereon. Large additions were obtained in this way. Recourse was then had to the census statistics of other states and countries, to gazetteers, directories, the trade lists of mercantile houses, the advertising columns of newspapers, to the publications of florists and nurserymen, agricult- ural and other works devoted to special lines of inquiry, and to many more sources which it is not necessary to particularize, from each of which, the names of new industries or products, known to pertain to some part of the State, were acquired. The Industrial Statistics Schedule, upon its approval by the Governor and Council, became the basis of work. Every inquiry in it is to be found on some one of the six schedules afterwards issued, and no others appear on them, with perhaps one or two exceptions. Following the Industrial Statistics Schedule, beginning on page 111, will be found copies of all the circular letters, blanks, special instructions, etc., used in taking the census and gathering the industrial statistics, in the order of their issue. The blanks, or as they have been invariably termed by all engaged in the work, schedules, are six in number, and are designated as the Family, Individual, Manufactures, Occupation, Products and Prop- erty, and Special. On pages 117 to 124 are given the instructions that were issued to enumerators, for the delivery and collection of the Family and Individual Schedules. These instructions formed the first six pages of a record book, that otherwise consisted only of blank forms with a printed head, a flic-simile of which can be seen on page 122. There were five sizes of these books. The smallest was of four sheets, and capable of holding the record of about five hundred Family Schedules, and the same number of Individual. The largest was of twelve sheets, and could be used for the delivery and collection of about one thousand five hundred of each schedule. They were bound in flexible press-board covers, and could be easily carried in the pocket. Following this (pp. 125-132), are the instructions to the enumerator respecting his work with the Manufactures, Occupation, Products and Property, and Special Schedules. These instructions were also supplemented with blank forms for his record of progress, and bound into a similar volume. On page 134, is a copy of the blank furnished to the enumerator for his record of time worked. Attached to it was the bill-form and oath, found on the next page. He was required to enter daily, in the former, the number of hours worked, and on the completion of his labors, to fill out the bill-form, make oath to its correctness, and return the two, unseparated, to the central office. After comparison, if found correct, the bill received the approval of the chief, was severed from the time account, and transmitted to the Auditor of the Commonwealth, while the latter was filed in the office as a voucher. The Family Schedule, found on pages 137 and 138, was accompanied, in delivery, with a sheet of instructions (pp. 139, 140) to the head of the family. The other five schedules contained on them all the directions, to the persons receiving them, that were considered necessary. After the work on the Family and Individual Schedules had been carried on a short time, it was found advisable to issue some supplementary instructions to the enumerators. The appropriation asked lor by the Bureau, for the first year’s work, was $100,000 ; but XV. extra sheet served to tally those both at school and at work. Pauperism and crime were also considered, for the time being, as occupations, and the results, with regard to sex and age, secured. By a system of cross-checking, at the same time the above was going on, the relation of every unemployed person, by sex and age, to the head of the family in which such person resided, was determined. The tabulation sheets were so arranged as to easily supply aggregations of the occupations, with regard to sex, into the great divisions of labor, such as "Government and Professional,” "Domestic and Personal service,” "Art and Mechanic Productions,” etc. TUI. For place of birth and number of children borne by each woman. By this tabulation, the place of birth of each person, by age and sex, was ascertained, showing the migratory tendency of population by designating those born in the town tabulated. The number of children borne by each woman was ascertained with regard to the nativity of the mother, in order to determine the relative fecundity of various nationalities. Owing to the diversity of heads of information and inquiries in the Products and Property Schedule, the simplest plan was deemed the best, and the results were obtained by a series of formulated additions, not easy to explain here, as was also the case Avith the facts contained on the Special Schedule. Nearly eA’ery answer on the Manufactures and Occupation Schedules indicated a quantity, \Mue, or a number, and a general form was arranged for the tabulation of all such replies. By the plan adopted, the vexations of long columns of figures, and the perplexi- ties of additions, were avoided. The "Quantity, Valuations and Numbers” tabulation sheet, measuring fourteen and one-half by six and one-half inches, had a capacity for easily aggregating $180,000,000, and by simple variations in the checking, this amount could be increased ten fold. Upon one such sheet a total of $125,000,000 was actually aggregated, and Avith ease on the part of the clerk. In the State aggregation for industries, showing goods manufactured and capital invested, a book containing six hundred such pages, but necessarily having an industry to each page, was not used more than one two-hundredth part of its capacity in arriving at a total of $830,000,000. In dealing w T ith such large amounts, the necessity of proof was apparent, and in every case where it Avas deemed necessary, the figures first obtained were verified by subsequent calculations. Besides the tabulation forms referred to above, there Avere devised others specially for fisheries and commerce, aggregating sheets for the expeditious massing of results by industries and products, and many proof and descriptive forms for the minor points of the various tabulations. Special sheets and books were prepared, also, for reproducing the industrial statistics of 1865 in a shape to facilitate comparison with those of 1875. The feature that distinguishes the present decennial census of the population, of industries, etc., of Massachusetts, from all preceding is, that written replies to printed ques- tions on properly prepared blanks, have been required from the people ; whereas, hitherto questions have been proposed and ansAvered verbally. The advantages of this method are important, and the disadvantages no greater than under the other. The advantages are, superior accuracy, a saving of time, and a reflex action upon the people themselves, who XVI. are, by it, informed in much larger measure in regard to the uses, scientific, economical, and political, to which statistical facts can be applied. It certainly is not the least of its advantages, that it is highly educational. By this plan, also, every intelligent person who desires to further the interests of the State, has ample time to prepare answers to all the inquiries made of him. Exact state- ments will thus be secured generally, in place of the mere guesses of the old method: for the business man, overtaken in the midst of business by the old-time census gatherer, will get rid of him as quickly as possible ; but, if he can have a few days time, he will fill out or cause to be filled out, correctly, the answers to a printed list of queries. A saving of time, therefore, in the enumeration, is sure to result. By this system, the central office is put in possession of the name and residence of every one who fills, personally or by proxy, a blank of any kind, accompanied by the name of the enumerator receiving and accepting it. Thus, in every case of failure to answer any particular question, whether from carelessness on the part of either the enumerator or citizen, or from any other cause, the record furnishes the facts necessary to allow its reiteration. In the case of all misstatements, accidental or otherwise, which are sure to occur, and which the office examination is as sure to disclose, facility is thus afforded for correction The questions found upon any one of the blanks used in the present work, are so linked together, and have usually such a dependence upon each other, that an error in a single reply is discovered immediately upon examination, by the incongruity, thus introduced, with other replies. Thousands of such errors, especially in regard to manufactures, during the pro- gress of the present work have been corrected through the medium of the mail. It has been seen that thirty-six and three-fourths per cent of the people filled out, without assistance from the census taker, the family blank containing the usual census questions. A large proportion of the remaining sixty-three and one-fourth per cent, who did not themselves fill out the blanks, had undoubtedly considered the questions, and debated in family conclave the answers proper to be given. The age, the occupation, the birthplace, and all the particulars inquired about, were talked over naturally, and when the enumerator called for the schedule, he was enabled to get truthful replies, and get them quickly, so that no more time was consumed in the two visits, in the aggregate, even in the case of the sixty-three and one-fourth per cent of Family Schedules that he was obliged to fill himself, than would have been necessary had he made all the explanations demanded, and assisted in the family consultation likely to have been held to secure the answers at the first visit ; while much greater accuracy was arrived at. The superior value of this plan as compared with the methods formerly in use, was, perhaps, still more apparent in collecting the manufacturing and agricultural statistics. Vast numbers of schedules were received from manufacturers and farmers which showed, plainly, that great care had been taken, and the ledger and the farm book consulted, that the answers might be exact, as was demanded. To make these statements a little clearer, we will explain the modus operandi of the office. The first work performed upon the reception of the schedules, was their examination. This work was done by clerks selected for their special knowledge of the subjects likely to Xlll. only §70,000 was granted, and it was found that this sum was likely to prove inadequate to the completion of the labor in all the fulness that was intended. For this reason, the instruction sheet to be found on page 143 was issued, authorizing enumerators to abridge the work on the Individual Schedule. Advantage was taken, also, to make clear some points which, it was discovered, were not thoroughly understood respecting the Family Schedule. Two weeks later, and soon after sending out the four remaining schedules, a second instruction sheet (page 159) was issued, emphasizing the preceding, in regard to the Individual Schedule, and giving some additional information on other matters, deemed necessary. On the completion of their labors, enumerators filled out the blank, a sample of which is found on page 1G0, and transmitted it, with the schedules, to the office. On page 161 is a transcript of a letter, afterwards sent to enumerators, accompanied by the list of questions found on the two succeeding pages. The inquiries therein made were responded to by every enumerator, and the replies form a volume of one thousand pages, embodying a large amount of information. Time has not yet been afforded for the complete analysis of this material, but the following statement may be of some value and interest : The average per cent of those who filled out the Family Schedule without assistance from the enumerator (question one), is found to be thirty-six and three-fourths. Out of three hun- dred and eighty-four replies to question two (by which class, native or foreign, was this most generally done), three hundred and nineteen gave the preference to natives, thirty- three to the foreign born, and thirty-two thought there was no difference. The testimony respecting the accuracy of the enumeration (question five) was universal in its favor. There was an occasional reference to some migratory family, whos.e wanderings had defeated the endeavors of the enumerator, but these cases were apparently very few. Mr. Charles F. Pidgin, who has adapted to various wants the system of tabulation used, has furnished the material from which is drawn a full description of the methods employed. The manner of tabulation made use of, will be easily understood by reference to a sample form given on page 165. The original sheets were printed in colors, as being easier for the eye to dwell upon, than a page wholly in black; but in this reproduction the colors are not deemed essential. The form given represents one-half of the tabulating sheet used in counting families, by sizes from one to the largest, and total population. By examining the Family Schedide on page 137, it will be seen that the tabulating clerk, at a glance, could see the number of columns filled thereon, they being numbered in order. Suppose the first schedule taken up had nine columns filled: the clerk drew a straight mark or check through the first dot, at the left, on the line numbered nine. If the next schedule contained but three names, a check was drawn through the first dot on line three. If the next schedule contained nine names, the second dot on line nine was checked, and so on. More space was given for lines one to seven inclusive, than to others, as the family size generally comes within those limits. It will be seen that each check represented a schedule, and each schedule represented a family. The number of families of each size was ascertained by carrying out the aggre- d XIV. gates of each line of checked dots, into the first column at the right, headed "Number of families." Multiplying these aggregates, for each size, by the number denoting the size (repeated at the right for convenience), gave the number of persons. The footing of the columns gave the total number of families, and total population. It must be remembered that only one-half of the family tabulation sheet is reproduced on page 165. The other half contained spaces for entering families of more than twelve persons. The sexes were tabulated separately, afterwards, and the proof of correct work, was the exact agreement between the results of the population and sex tabulations. This basis once secured, suc- ceeding tabulations Avere known to be faulty if they did not agree therewith, and were repeated by another clerk to find the error. The same system of dots and checks was used throughout the entire tabulations for the census and industrial statistics. The arrangement of each sheet, to a certain extent, was determined by the nature of the work to be done. Accuracy and speed were both aimed at. The first was secured by systems of proving results. The second, by checking for as many points as possible at each handling of the schedules. A reference to the Family Schedule on page 137, will show that it contained nineteen inquiries: in addition, were the number of families, dwelling-houses, and volumes in private libraries. Eight distinct tabulations were necessary to obtain the desired results, which are thus explained, each tabulation covering the points named, at one handling of the schedule. I. Tabulation for population, sex, number of families, and size of families. The number of dwelling-houses, occupied and unoccupied, Avas taken from the enumerator’s books ( vide page 122), Avhere they Avere numbered consecutively. This form has been sufficiently explained. The most dexterous lady clerks checked thirty thousand names, on one point, in six hours time. II. For ratable polls, legal voters, naturalized voters, and aliens. III. For color and race (white, black, mulatto, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, etc.), and conjugal condition (single, married, widowed, divorced, and unknown). IV. For ages. Every age, from one month to the oldest given, was entered by its proper month or year. It Avas deemed as easy to record a man’s age as twenty-eight years, as to enter him as between twenty-five and thirty. The name and birthplace of all persons over ninety-five years of age, Avere entered upon a part of the tabulating sheet. Y. For illiteracy, designating those who could not read, could not Avrite, or Avho could neither read nor Avrite, specifying sex, age, place of birth and nativity of parents. At the same time a tally of volumes in private libraries was kept. YI. For diseased conditions. The blind, deaf, dumb, deaf and dumb, insane and idiotic, with regard to sex, age, and degree of infirmity. The paupers and convicts were enumerated on the same sheet, Avith reference to sex and age. A registry of all schedules containing entries of diseased conditions, pauperism, or crime, Avas made at the same time. YII. For occupation, trade or profession of every person, with regard to sex and age. The minutest sub-divisions were taken account of in the classification. By consider- ing school attendance as an occupation, this point was obtained, at the same time, and an XVI 1. be brought under their observation, and was for the purpose of noting, first, all omissions of replies to any inquiries ; second, all inconsistencies in replies that were given. Every omission was of course apparent. These could sometimes be supplied, at once, by the examiner, although the highest degree of caution needed to be exercised in this matter. For instance, if we have a Family Schedule before us, on which George Jones is set down as a carpenter, and a legal voter, there is no doubt but Jones is a male, although the sex space is unfilled. So in regard to the Manufactures, the Occupation, the Products and Property, and all the schedules used, in short, there are omissions that can be supplied without a possibility of error. In the case of omissions that can not thus be supplied, the schedule affords the name and address of the person from whom it was received, and of the enumerator transmitting it to the office, and a postal card, or a letter has rarely failed to secure the desired information. Now, in regard to those who failed to answer any inquiries, in other words, who refused utterly to fill out a schedule : the names and post office addresses of all such persons, engaged in manufacturing or farming, came into the the office in response to question six on the last circular sent to enumerators (page 103), as well as on the penalty notices (page 136) transmitted by enumerators, and, as stated before, by means of correspondence, properly filled schedules have been secured from nearly all, and probably will be from every one. Persons refusing to fill the Family, Individual, or Special Schedules, were reported to the office on the penalty notice, and the matter was immediately attended to. Thus it can be seen that the department can guarantee to the people, that it has a return of all the industries of the Commonwealth. In regard to the truthfulness of these returns, it may be stated that, the questions are so many in number, so various in the matters inquired about, and hinge upon each other in such unseen ways, that a careless slip of the pen, or a purposely untruthful statement is recognized at once. In closing this brief outline of the Massachusetts census system of 1875, a few facts may be summarized, that will prove of use in the future. The whole number of enumera- tors employed was 529. The aggregate of days worked by them was 26,979. The average number of days worked by each was fifty-one. The whole number of schedules, of all kinds, returned into the office by them was 506,702. The average number of schedules collected by each Avas nine hundred and fifty-seven and eighty-five hundredths. The average number, per day, collected by each Avas eighteen and seventy-eight hundredths. The number of schedules of each kind, returned to the office, and accepted as properly filled, was as folloAvs : the Family, 359,000; the Individual, 80,893; the Manufactures, 10,730; the Occupation, 11,641; the Products and Property, 42,207; the Special, 2,231. The number of penalty notices (vide page 136) served on persons refusing to fill schedules, Avas about one hundred. There Avere no prosecutions under section 6 of the Act, as correspondence between the officers of the Bureau and the persons refusing to answer, obviated all necessity for it. At the present writing, there arc less than twenty manu- facturers Avho have failed to comply with the Iuav, while the number of farmers declining to make returns is so insignificant, as to make no perceptible difference in the aggregate. e xviii. The expense of the enumeration Avas as follows: paid to enumerators, $81,497.70; to supervisors, $2,808.76; for printing blanks, schedules, etc., $11,053.62: total, $95,360.08. The persons referred to as supervisors were employed to travel among enumerators, instruct them personally, and overlook their work. They were six in number. This, it must be understood, Avas the expense incurred in gathering the statistics. The expense of examin- ing and tabulating, Avas $38,342.34 paid for clerical services, and $2,897.58 for rent, stationery, messenger, etc., and $900.00 for expressage and postage, making $42,139.92 as the cost of preparing the returns for the printer. The total expense is thus seen to be about $137,500, and there Avas an aggregate of about thirteen millions of answers. The work of tabulating the returns consumed about ten months. The clerical force employed Avas of men and women, and Avas equivalent to tAvo hundred and sixty-seven of the former and three hundred and twelve of the latter Avorking together for one month, or about the same as the combined labor of twenty-seven men and thirty-one women for ten months. The largest number employed at oue time was sixty-eight. It Avill be seen that a distinct feature of the system adopted, has been the complete separation of the work of collecting facts, from that of combining and arranging them. Each schedule contains upon it the isolated facts respecting one family or industry. The duty of the enumerator began and ended in securing this result. The Avork of tabulating and aggregating Avas entirely performed in the central office, under the direct and constant supervision of the officers of the Bureau, and their assistants. By this division of labor, the highest degree of efficiency and accuracy Avas secured. Under the plan followed in many states and countries, much of the labor of aggregating is performed by those employed as census takers, each of whom makes return only of the total for his district, respecting each inquiry. This has been the case, hitherto, in this State. By this latter plan, the clerical force employed would not be required for as long a time, nor need it be as large; however, the time consumed by enumerators, would be extended, and the likelihood of as valuable results being secured, would be much diminished. The results of the present Census and Industrial Statistics are embodied in four vol- umes: the first is the Seventh Annual Report of the Bureau, in which is exhibited the condition of the working population of the State, as derived from the tabulation of the Individual Schedules ( vide pages 141 and 142) ; the second embraces the facts respect- ing population, schools, and libraries; the third, manufactures; and the fourth, agriculture. The series aggregate about one thousand eight hundred pages. The foregoing account of the system adopted in performing this Avork, and of the results accomplished under it, has been prepared in the belief that it would be of material use to those Avho, in the future, have work of a like character entrusted to them, and to those Avho shall be called upon, as legislators, to prescribe the laAvs for their guidance. The system is founded on the plan followed in England, of collecting returns of population, by means of what is known as the "prior family schedule.” It has been extended, in the present work in this State, to the gathering of statistics of all kinds. Experience indicates that a greater elaboration of it, — perhaps to the extent of providing a distinct schedule for every great industry, — would be advantageous. XIX. To those who are unfamiliar with the official machinery of the State of Massachusetts, a few words of explanation may be necessary; otherwise it may appear that the collection of facts in some of the most important departments of science, educational, social, or political, is unprovided for. There are various points upon which the State does not, through its census, seek information, for the reason that her general system of statistics supplies much matter that other states obtain only through the census takers. Under the direction of the Secretary of State, there is published annually, a Registration Report, giving the most vital points respecting births, deaths, and marriages, and a Report of the aggregates of polls, property, and taxes. Under the direction of the State Treasurer, there is issued every year by the Tax Commissioner, a Report embodying all important facts respecting corporations. Yearly Reports upon the matters under their charge, are made by the Railroad Commissioners, Insurance Commissioner, the Board of Education, Board of Health, Board of Agriculture, Board of State Charities, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and various other departments. Through these avenues, there is annually presented a mass of information, the importance of which can not be estimated by ordinary standards; and the Reports of these various departments, with the Decennial Census and Industrial Statistics, really make up the Statistics of Massachusetts, and they illustrate a system which is not surpassed in its thoroughness and minuteness, certainly, in this country.

You are desired to recommend one man for each 1,500 polls in your town, and forward the names of such parties to this Bureau, on or before the 24th of this month. The selection of Enumerators is of the utmost importance, as upon them, to a great extent, depends the accuracy and value of the Census. Thej- should be, and must be, men of intelligence, easy and polite in their intercourse with the people. We trust especial attention will be given to the character and qualifications of each person before a recommendation is made. Assessors should not be selected, as a rule, unless thej r can and will attend to the Census independentl}' of their duties as assessors. No person will be allowed to act as assessor and Enumerator at the same time. Please return list of nominations, on the form to be found on the third page of this sheet, by the time specified.

CONTAINING COMPREHENSIVE INSTRUCTIONS AND THE NECESSARY MEMORANDUM FORMS FOR ENTERING THE DELIVERY AND COLLECTION OF THE FAMILY AND INDIVIDUAL SCHEDULES. PREPARED BY Carroll D. Wright, Chief. Geo. H. Long, Deputy-Chief. BOSTON, JYLYCYT 1, 1875. 30 119 [The Enumerator's Book of Instructions and Record of Work for Family and Individual Schedules. — Page 1,} TO THE ENUMERATOR The following instructions have been carefully prepared for your guidance in taking the Census and gathering the Industrial Statistics. They are not presented as being infallible, and it is not sup- posed that in every case of doubt they will supply a ready solution of the difficulty. To have done this would have necessitated instructions so minute, and necessarily complicated, that their use might have been more of a hindrance than a help. It is believed however, that in a majority of the cases of perplexity which you will meet in your labors, their perusal will indicate the proper course of procedure. In case they fail to furnish you with desired information, your duty, as elsewhere instruc- ted, will be to write to this office without delay, stating the case plainly, and the decision of this office will be sent you promptly. OUTLINE OF YOUR WORK. You will receive with this book of instructions a sufficient number of blanks of two kinds, designated as the “ Family Schedule ” and the “ Individual Schedule." In due season you will receive others relating to Manufactures, to Products, to Property, etc., but the Instructions in this book relate only to the two above mentioned. At the outset of your work, we wish to impress upon you one important fact which is to be kept always in mind: viz., that all blanks or Schedules, as we designate them, now issued, or to be issued, are to be distributed by you, to be filled up by the persons who receive them, and afterwards collected by you. You must not reverse or alter this process : in other words, you must not go about making the inquiries of people and filling up the blanks your- self ; except, that, in collecting, you are required to correct those that are erroneous, and complete those that are incomplete (as you will find explained fur- ther along), and perhaps at that time, in a limited number of cases, such as those where the parties have been extremely neglectful, or where they lack or fancy they lack the necessary amount of literary ability, you can put the questions to them and write in the answers yourself. Let it be supposed now that you are ready to begin your first day’s work, — that you have read all the Instructions in this book, those on the Indi- vidual Schedule and those on the separate sheet, applying to the Family Schedule, — let itbe supposed also, that you have studied all these in connection with the two Schedules and the blank forms in this book, where is to be kept the record of your pro- gress, — that you have studied the Schedules and know what everything means, — let it be supposed that all this has been done, and you are ready to start out on your first day’s work. You know already the boundaries of your district, so that you will not tresspass upon another Enumerator. Decide on which side of it you will begin, provide yourself with a sufficient number of the Family Schedules and Instruction Sheets, and of the Individual Sched- ules for a day’s work at distributing. Arrived at the spot and house of commencement, you announce, to whoever appears in response to your call, that you are the Census Enumerator for that district ; immediately produce this book from a convenient pocket ; ojien it at the first page of forms, and in the column headed “ Dwelling-house Number in order of Visitation, ” on the first line, write the 120 r The Enumerator's Book of Instructions and Record of Work for Family and Individual Schedules. — Page 2.] Enumerator's Instructions. numeral 1 ; and in the second column headed “Fam- ily Number in order of Visitation, ” on the same line, the numeral 1. You should then inquire the name of the Head of the Family, and write it on the same line in the next column. You should now produce a Family Schedule blank from your travelling bag, or whatever con- tains them. You will observe that the spaces “A” and “B” on the file part contain repetitions of the headings just mentioned as pertaining to the first and second columns of your book. Enter the cor- responding numbers in the spaces opposite them. Now ask for the number of families in the house, and enter the answer in the space opposite “C” on the Family Schedule. Now ask “How many fami- lies pay rent for the part occupied by them,” and enter the answer in the space opposite “D” on the Family Schedule. No entries are to be made in your Enumerator’s Book in respect to these two questions. Now ask for the number of persons in the family (this one family, with a member of which you are talking), male or female, old or young, who work for wages or salary. Produce now, the number of Individual Schedules, indicated by the answer, for each wage and salaried worker must have one, and enter on the first one, in the space opposite “A” the numeral 1 ; on the second if two were called for, in the same space, the numeral 2 ; on the third, if a third was demanded, the numeral 3, and so on, Now enter these same numbers in your Book in the column next the last, headed, “Individual Num- bers entered in space ‘*y on the Individual Schedule left ■ with each family .” Your Enumerator’s Book can now be closed and returned to your pocket. Now make the remaining entries as to the date, name and residence, on the Family Schedule and on the Individual Schedule. Leave the spaces opposite “B” and “C” on the Individual Schedule, and the lines below Question 1 relating to Occupa- tion unfilled. The Individual will attend to them. They are placed where they are for a certain con- venience of our own. Now deliver the Family Schcdide you have prepared and the Family Instruc- tion Sheet with it, and whatever Individual Schedules there may be, and your work of delivery with this family is done. Others will be but a repetition of it. It may be mentioned here that the first thing for you to do in the morning when beginning work, is to write the name of the street or road, and the date at the top of the page, in your Enumerator’s Book. In collecting or taking up the Schedules you will fill the last column in your book with the dates. Examine the Schedules to see if properly filled out according to the explicit instructions which are found in detailed instructions 12, 13 and 14, etc. INSTRUCTIONS IN DETAIL. 1. Dealings ivith the People. • — In your dealings with the people you should always preserve a con- ciliatory manner, and you should impress upon those who raise any objection to answering the inquiries, the fact of the confidential nature of the returns, and that no one but yourself will see them before they are sent to this office. 2. Confidential Nature of Rehirns. — You are ex- pected to treat completed schedules as strictly con- fidential, and Enumerators who show them to outside parties, or divulge the information they contain, will be considered as flagrantly derelict in duty, and their appointments will lie immediately revoked when the fact is known. If you are suspicious that wrong replies have been given, you can ascertain the truth by proper inquiries outside, instead of making the completed schedule an object of public examination and comment. 3. Nature of Work. — You begin your work with two schedules: Form 5, the Family Schedule ("and its sheet of Instructions), and Form 6, f the Individual Schedule. Form 5 covers the inquiries in the Cen- sus proper. Form 6 contains questions belonging to the Industrial Statistics, to complete which, how- ever, several additional forms suitedto Manufactures, Occupations, Products, Productive Property, etc., will be sent you when your present work is well under way. Carry as little completed work as possible, and do not encumber yourself with an unnecessary quantity of blank schedules. 4. The Schedules, etc. sent you. — Together with this book and a time account, is sent what is deemed a sufficient quantity of schedules for use in your district. You are requested to be economical in their use, but if you think you are in danger of 121 [The Enumerator's Book of Instructions and Record of Work for Family and Individual Schedules. — Page 3.] Enumerator i running short of either hind, your order for what extra number you think you may want will be promptly filled by this office. On the other hand, if you have some blank schedules left after your work is completed, return them to us with the com- pleted ones. 5. Outfit . — You are expected to supply yourself with a proper protection for your schedules while at work, so they can be kept clean and smooth, and be in good order when returned to us. You are desired to use black ink (a portable ink-horn is necessary in case you do) for your writing ; if a pencil is used, the writing must be legible, and the marks made firmly. Illegible and faintly written returns will, necessarily, be returned for revision before your account can be approved. (>. Delivery and Collection of Schedules . — He sure that every separate family has a separate F amily Schedule and a copy of the Family Instruction Sheet, and when you leave the former, state the day when you will call for it. This day will depend upon your progress, and each Enumerator must set- tle the matter for himself, always however, allowing a family at least twenty-four hours in which to write in replies. The Instruction Sheets used need not be taken back from the families. Where a family has more than twelve members, leave as many schedules as will supply the needed number of columns. In leaving Individual Schedules, be gov- erned strictly by the General Nptice printed on that schedule (Form 6). When collecting Family Schedules, note particularly if every person re- turned on them as being a wage or salaried worker has also returned an Individual Schedule ; if not, leave one and see that it is properly filled. 7 . Personal Service . — You are expected to de- liver and collect schedules, and do the whole work yourself. 8. Particular Inquiries. — If the space opposite Inquiry 14 on the Family Schedule is not sufficient to give all the facts, use a whole column, or more, for the purpose, if there is one unfilled, writing crosswise over the ruled lines, and adding a refer- ence-mark to show to which person it applies. In some cases it may be necessary to write on a separate sheet, which should be fastened securely t Instructions. i to the schedule, and a proper reference-mark made. For the purposes of science, it is desirable that very full information should be obtained in regard to this inquiry (14), and also inquiries 11, 12 and 13, on the Family Schedule. In respect to the diseased conditions enumerated in inquiry 11, you are desired to ask (in those cases where any of these conditions are reported) what degree of blood rela- tionship (if any) exists between the parents. 1). Manufacturiny in Houses . — While delivering and collecting the Family and Individual Schedules, note particularly the use of dwelling-houses for manufacturing purposes, and such manufacturing as may be carried on in out-of-the-way places, so that when the other Industrial Statistics Schedules are left, no manufactory, however small, will be passed over. If necessary you should assist your memory by the use of a memorandum book, enter- ing therein the location of such places as might be overlooked. 10. Refusals to Answer. — If the head of a family neglects to fill a schedule, you must write down the replies, making the inquiries verbally. If a person refuses to answer, call attention to the penalty to which he (or she) is liable. If the person persists in the refusal, use no threats, but simply mention that, in obedience to instructions, you must report the delinquency to this office. For this purpose, use the “Penalty Notice,” of which a number of copies will be found with this book. 1 1. Penalty for Neglect or Refusal . — Chap. 386, Acts and Resolves of 1874, sec. 0, provides that, “if any party authorized by said bureau [of statistics of labor] to collect statistics under this act shall wilfully neglect to make true returns of his doings, as may be called for, lie shall forfeit and pay a fine not exceeding Two Hundred Dollars ; and if any i person shall refuse to give information required by this act, to a person duly authorized to receive the same, he shall forfeit and pay a fine not exceeding One Hundred Dollars." 1 2 . Signing of Schedules . — A schedule must not be considered complete until properly signed. Any responsible member of the family may sign for the head of the family; thus, “John Smith, by Ellen Smith, his wife.” When persons can not write, you 31 122 [The Enumerator's Book of Instructions and Record of Work for Family and Individual Schedules. — Page 4.] Enumerator' s his may sign thus : John X Smith, by mark Enumerator; but in no case, than of such inability, should you sign. 13 . Verifying Returns. — When you begin to collect the schedules, you should inspect each one, to see if it is plainly and legibly written. Then examine it to see if the inquiries seem correctly answered, correcting, after verbal inquiry, such as are plainly erroneous, or are not written out with due regard to the Family Instructions. Then exam- ine the blank spaces in such columns as have been used, to see if questions which appear applicable remain unanswered. In all such cases make verbal inquiries, and enter the replies yourself. Where parties are unable to write, or from any cause fail to fill the schedules, it will be your duty to make verbally the necessary inquiries of some responsible member of the family, and write the answers your- self. In all open spaces left in the used columns, after a strict carrying out of the preceding instruc- tions for verifying returns, make an “X” mark (X). The object of this mark is to show that you Instructions. hare decided that the inquiries are not applicable; and seeing it (the X mark) in the blank spaces, when tabulating, we shall know that these spaces have been considered by you, and that they are not left blank from uncertainty as to whether they could be tilled or not, or from an omissson to write in what was obtained as answer. Any other mark than the X will not do, and Enumerators are par- ticularly enjoined to bear this in mind. 14 . Time and Manner of Folding Schedules . — The schedules must not be folded when delivered, but the folding should be done when they arc col- lected, and will indicate those completed. Form 5 should be folded so that the file part will be fully in sight. To do this, double them exactly in the middle, and then bend on the double line between column 12, and the file part. This will allow the two cut edges to project beyond the doubled one. Simply double Form (5. 15 .

If your delivery is regularly performed, the above work will be easy, for the dwelling-house numbers will follow each other in regular order. 16 . Disposition of Returns. — When your returns are all in, properly arranged, and agree with your “Enumerator's Book,” do them up securely (includ- ing in the package the completed returns, your Enumerator’s Book, and such blank schedules or forms as you may have left), and send them to us by Express, at our expense. Do not fail to take a receipt from the Company, for you will be held responsible for the Schedules, until they arc i-eceived at this office. 17. How to enter in the Enumerator's Book . — The foregoing form shows how to begin an Enume- rator's Book. The dwelling-house numbers should begin with 1, and continue numerically in order, the last one entered indicating the whole number of dwelling-houses in your district. When two or more families occupy the same dwelling-house, the dwelling-house number should not be repeated, but a blank space left beneath, as under 2 and 5 in the dwelling-honse column. The family numbers should begin with 1, and continue numerically in order, so that the last number entered will indicate the whole number of families in your district. The entering of names of the heads of families in the wide column, requires no explanation ; but care should be taken to get the names correctly, as, in case of failure to answer, the real name of the per- son is necessary in instituting a' prosecution. The numbers of the individual schedules left come in the next column. They should begin with 1, and con- tinue numerically in order, the last number entered indicating the whole number of wage and salary workers in your district If one is left, put down the number; as, “4.” If two, both numbers, with a comma between ; as, “5, 0.” If more than two, write them inclusive; as, “ l-;5,” meaning 1 to 3, and including 1, 2 and .‘5. When a house is habit- able but unoccupied, give it a dwelling-house number, write “ unoccupied " in the column indicated, and put the X mark in the other columns. The way indicated of filling the last column (Date of Taking up Schedule) is to be preferred, as there will then *• Instructions. be no doubt about the date. When you finish a street (particularly if in a city) begin the entries for the next street at the top of the next page. You must use especial care that every family in your district receives the necessary schedules, and to do this you must so lay out your routes, that in no way will it be possible for you to miss a part of any street, lane, alley, court, place or road. Be particularly careful in the case of a large block, fronting on several streets. If you come to an occupied house where the family is away when you call, or if in a house where several families live, and one of them is away, make no entries in your Enumerator’s Book for the absent families, excepting “Family away,” in the “Name” column. When you return and find the families at home that were away, then make the proper entries; and if, when you enter them, your number just preceding was for a house in another street than the one in which they live, in the margin before the dwelling-house number write the name of the street to which they do belong. 18. How to enter on the Schedules. — Every Family Schedule when left by you should have spaces A, B, C and D filled in, and also the form below them, showing date, name and residence. “ A” and “ B” you fill by copying the proper num- ber from your Book ; “ C ” and “ D ” you find out by inquiry, and enter. The date, name and residence you take in part from your Book, adding street- number, town-name, etc. from your own knowledge. Upon the Individual Schedule, in space “A,” you should enter the number taken from your Book denoting this particular schedule, The file form is filled similarly to that on the Family Schedule. 19 . Additional Copies of the Enumerator' s Book. — If you find that this book is not large enough to enable you to enter the delivery of schedules for every family in your district, notify us in time so we can send you another book and have it reach you before you have finished this, and thus avoid unne- cessary delay. The blank pages at the back of this book are inserted for memorandum purposes. 20 . Family Instruction Sheet. — Your attention is particularly called to the sheet of instructions which should be left with every Family Schedule, and to all instructions which you may find printed upon the various schedules which you deliver. [The Enumerator's Book of Instructions and Record of Work for Family and Individual Schedules.— Page 6.] Enumerator’s These instructions were written to enable heads of families and others to properly answer the inquiries upon the schedules they receive. You will see that they are of as much and even greater value to you than to the individual. When you till your own schedules, the need and value of the instructions will be apparent, and you should study them, before you begin collecting, until you thoroughly under- stand their application. They are not printed in this book, because their repetition was deemed unnecessary. 21 . Private Libraries owned by other than Salary or Wage Laborers. — You will notice that Question 20, on the Individual Schedule, asks for “number of volumes in your private library if the number is 100 or over.” As this schedule, hovever, is left only with salary or wage laborers, those not considered as salary or wage laborers, it will be seen, have no inquiry of this kind made of them in the Family Schedule which they do receive. Yet it is desirable to find the number of volumes in every private library in the State, and your attention is called Instructions. particularly to the following SPECIAL IN- STRUCTION: if when collecting your schedules you come to a family not having an Individual Schedule, and consequently not having received an inquiry relating to private libraries, you must ask the question [See Question 20, Individual Schedule] of a proper member of the family, and write the reply on some part of their Family Schedule, in this form, — “ Private Library, 050 volumes." There will always be a blank space left in some column on every Family Schedule in which this point can be entered. It will be best to draw a pencil line around it, to separate it from the other writing on the schedule. This manner of obtaining the point desired is adopted to avoid the delivery and col- lection of 100,000 Individual Schedules, upon which this question only would be answerable by persons not salary or wage laborers. If any one thinks the inquiry unauthorized, because it does not appear on the Family Schedule left, you should refer him to Chap. 386, Acts and Resolves of 1874, and call attention to this instruction as forming your authorization. 125 [The Enumerator's Book of Instructions and Record of Work for Industrial and other Schedules. —Title Page.] THE ENUMERATOR’S BOOK [Number 2.] FOR THE INDUSTRIAL STATISTICS OF 1875 . CONTAINING COMPREHENSIVE INSTRUCTIONS AND THE NECESSARY MEMORANDUM FORMS FOR ENTERING THE DELIVERY AND COLLECTION OF THE MANUFACTURES, OCCUPATION, PRODUCTS AND PROPERTY, AND SPECIAL SCHEDULES. PREPARED BY Stpe 1 VgJbjQrr* Carroll D. Wright, Chief. Geo. H. Long, Deputy-Chief. BOSTON, ZMITTBT 1, 1875. 32 127 [The Enumerator's Book of Instructions and Record of Work for Industrial and other Schedules. —Page 1.] TO THE ENUMERATOR. The following instructions have been carefully prepared for your guidance in gathering the Indus- trial Statistics. They are not presented as being infallible, and it is not supposed that in every case of doubt they will supply a ready solution of the difficulty. To have done this would have necessi- tated instructions so minute, and necessarily com- plicated, that their use might have been more of a hindrance than a help. It is believed, however, that in the majority of the eases of perplexity which you will meet in your labors, their perusal will indicate the proper course of procedure. In case they fail to furnish you with desired information, your duty, as elsewhere instructed, will be to write to this office without delay, stating the case plainly, and the decision of this office will be sent you promptly. You will receive with this book of instructions a sufficient number of blanks, of four kinds, desig- nated as the ‘■‘■Manufactures Schedule ,” the ‘■‘■Occu- pation Schedule," the ‘■‘■Products and Property Schedule," and the “ Special Schedule.''' You will also receive a book entitled the “ Industrial Statis- tics Schedule," the use of which you will find explained on page 6 of these Instructions. At the outset of your work, we wish to impress upon you one important fact which is to be kept always in mind: viz., that all blanks or Schedules, as we designate them, are to be distributed by you, to be filled up by the persons who receive them, and afterwards collected by you. You must not reverse or alter this process : in other words, you must not go about making the inquiries of people and filling up the blanks yourself; except that, in collecting, you are required to correct those that are erroneous, and complete those that are incomplete (as you will find explained further along), and perhaps at that time, in a limited number of cases, such as those where the parties have been extremely neglectful, or where they lack or fancy they lafck the necessary amount of literary ability, you can put the questions to them anti write in the answers yourself. Your first business is to read all these Instructions carefully. Read with equal care the four Sched- ules. Be sure that you understand what is desired by every inquiry. The Instructions on each Sched- ule and the matter on the file head of each is meant for you as well as for the person to whom you deliver the Schedule. In beginning your work you should provide yourself with a sufficient number of each Schedule for a day’s work at delivering. You should not begin at random anywhere in your district and go through it in a hap hazard way ; but, after getting its boundaries established in your mind, select a well considei’ed point on the boundary line, and work through the district systematically. Arrived then at the shop, factory, or farm where you propose to begin, you announce yourself as the Census Enumerator for that district; immediately produce this book from a convenient pocket ; open it at the first page of forms and in the blank at the top, enter the name of the street, and, after the words “Schedules left,” the date. Now ask for the “ Name of the 1’erson or Firm ” and write it on the first line, and in the proper column (Manufac- 128 [The Enumerator's Book of Instructions and Record of Work for Industrial and other Schedules. — Page 2.1 Enumerator s Instructions. No. 2. tures, Occupation, Products and Property, or Special as the case may require) write the numeral 1 ; on the file part of the Schedule, in the space “A” (Number in order of Delivery), write the numeral 1. In the space opposite “B” (Left) on the Sched- ule, write the date of leaving; ydu should now deliver the Schedule. The first Schedule delivered of each of the four kinds, should in this way be entered in your book as 1 ; the second of each should be entered as 2 ; the third as 3, and so on. The same number entered in the book should also be entered upon the Schedule. So that, when your work is completed, the last number entered in each column of your book will be the total of the column, and your book will show at a glance the number of each kind of Schedules delivered by you. In collecting or taking up a Schedule you should enter the date in the last column of your book, and the same date in space “C” (Taken up) on the file part of the Schedule. INSTRUCTIONS IN DETAIL. 1 . Dealings with the People. — In your dealings with the people you should always preserve a con- ciliatory manner, and you should impress upon those who raise any objection to answering the inquiries, the fact of the confidential nature of the returns, and that no one but yourself will see them before they are sent to this office. 2 . Confidential Nature of Returns — You are ex- pected to treat completed schedules as strictly confi- dential, and Enumerators who show them to outside parties, or divulge the information they contain, will be considered as flagrantly derelict in duty, and their appointments will be immediately revoked when the fact is known. Some persons may object to filling a schedule, on the ground that the inquiries are too personal. Of course if there were no name or street con- nected with a Schedule, it could never be made to have a personal application. Hence, if objection is made to lilling it, it will be because the person is also required to attach his name. Now, in every case of objection you are desired and specially di- rected to explain that the only use for the name is to facilitate the work and insure that it is correctly done. For instance, every return when it comes to this office will be examined to see if it appears to be fully and correctly filled out. , If it is not, it will be returned to the Enumerator and he will have to go again to the person who filled it out and have it revised or completed. To prevent our being ob- liged to accept such partial and imperfect returns, it is absolutely essential that we have every one’s name on the Schedule. So also it is necessary to prevent bogus or fraudulent returns being imposed on us. You are specially enjoined, in all cases where objection is made, to be conciliatory. Take out your book and allow the person to read this Instruction. State positively that the names and residences are never to be made use of in any other way than is here explained. If you preserve a proper bearing and make the proper explanation, the good sense of every one, on reflection, will lead them to fill out the Schedule as desired. We, in this office, have no discretion in the matter, but are compelled by law to ask every question which appears on any Schedule. % 3 . The Schedules, etc., sent you. — Together with this book, is sent what is deemed a sufficient num- ber of schedules for use in your district. You are requested to be economical in their use, but if you think you are in danger of running short of either kind, your order for what extra number you may want will be promptly filled by this office. On the other hand, if you have some blank schedules left after your work is completed, return them to us with the completed ones. 4 . Outfit. — You are expected to supply yourself with a proper protection for your schedules while at work, so they can be kept clean and smooth, and be in good order when returned to us. You are desired to use black ink (a portable ink-horn is necessary in case you do) for your writing; if a pencil is used, the writing must be legible, and the marks made firmly. Illegible and faintly written returns will, necessarily, be returned for revision before your account can be approved. 5 . Delivery of Schedules. — When you deliver a Schedule you should state when you will call for it, and ask that it may be filled out by the time stated. You will find it advisable, generally, to call for a Schedule the next day, or second day, after leaving 129 [The Enumerator's Book of Instructions and Record of Work for Industrial and other Schedules. — Page 3.1 Enumerator's Instructions. JYo. 2. it. If you do not call for a -week or so, you will find but few more of them filled out, and many lost or mislaid. (I. Personal Service. — You are expected to de- liver and collect schedules, and do the whole work yourself. 7. Manufacturing Establishments. — Manufactur- ing Establishments should always be returned from the district in which they are found. Sometimes the Sales Room, Counting Room, or Office is in another Enumerator’s district ; but the return should in all cases come from the Enumerator whose district contains the Factory or Workshop, whether the owner lives in such district or not. 8. Manufacturing in Houses, etc. — It is oftentimes the case that manfacturing is carried on in the attics cellars, or back rooms of houses, and in barns and sheds, and other out-of-the-way places ; sometimes also, in retail or wholesale stores. A clothing dealer often has a manufactory connected with his store ; and retail Boot and Shoe stores often com- bine with their selling the Occupation of Gobbling and Making to Order. You are desired to keep a careful lookout and discover all such. 9. Detached Pieces of Land. — In many towns and cities there are pieces of land, that have no buildings upon them, and consequently no one living upon them to make return of the crops produced. This will especially be the case in the vicinity of the large cities and towns along the seaboard, where merchants and capitalists own large tracts of marsh, from which they gather annual crops of hay. In the interior of the State there are tracts of woodland owned, in the same way, by parties at a distance, from which many cords of wood are cut each year. The Enumerator must not fail to get returns of the products of all such detached pieces of land in his district, and he can learn their location by a little inquiry. If the owner or lessee lives in his district he must supply him with a “ Products and Property Schedule but if he does not live in his district, he must ascertain the facts with as much accuracy as possible, from those living in the vicinity, and fill out a Schedule himself. In such cases, he should certify upon the Schedule that he, the Enu- merator, has tilled it out without the authority of the owner or lessee. 10. Itefusnls to A waver . — If any person neglects to till a schedule, you should write down the replies, making the inquiries verbally. If a person refuses to answer, call attention to Instruction 2, and if nec- essary, to the penalty to which lie (or she) is liable. If the person persists in the refusal, use no threats, but simply mention that, in obedience to instructions, you must report the delinquency to this office. For this purpose, use the “ Penalty Notice,” a number of copies of which have been supplied to you. 1 1. Penalty for Neglect or Refusal. — Chap, :18b, Acts and Resolves of 1874, sec. f>, provides that, “if any party authorized by said bureau (of statistics of labor) to collect statistics under this act shall wilfully neglect to make true returns of his doings, as may be called for, he shall forfeit and pay a fine not exceeding Two Hundred Dollars ; and if any person shall refuse to give information required by this act, to a person duly authorized to receive the same, he shall forfeit and pay a fine not exceeding One Hundred Dollars." 1 12. Signing of Schedules . — A schedule must not be considered complete until properly signed. Any member of a firm or person authorized by a firm, may sign : thus, “John Smith and Sons, by Henry L, Elliott.” Where people can not write, you may his sign thus: MicahX Jones, by mark Enumerator; but in no case, than of such inability, should you sign. 13. Verifying Returns. — When you begin to collect the schedules, you should inspect each one, to see if it is plainly and legibly written. Then examine it to see if the inquiries seem correctly answered, correcting, after verbal inquiry, such as are plainly erroneous, or are not written out with due regard to the Instructions. Then examine the blank spaces to see if questions which appear appli- cable remain unanswered. In all such cases, make verbal inquiries, and enter the replies yourself. Where persons are unable to write, or from any cause fail to fill the schedules, it will be your duty to make verbally the necessary inquiries and write the answers yourself. 33 130 [The Enumerator's Book of Instructions and Record Enumerator s In 14. Time and Manner of Folding Schedules . — The schedules must not be folded when delivered, but the folding; should be done when they are col- lected, and will indicate those completed. It should always be done so that the file part will be fully in sight. If). Disposition of Returns. — You should not re- turn any Schedules to this office until your entire work as an Enumerator for the “Census and De- cennial Industrial Statistics” is completed. When that time arrives, do them up securely, together with your Enumerator’s Books, and all unused Schedules, and send them to us by express, at our expense. Do not fail to take a receipt, from the Com- pany, for you will be held responsible for the Schedules until they are received at this office. 16. Additional Copies of Enumerator's Book, No. 2. — If you find that this book is not large enough for the entry of all the Schedules delivered in your district, notify us in time so we can send you another and have it reach you before you have finished this, and thus avoid unnecessary delay. The blank pages at the back of this book are inserted for memoran- dum purposes. 17. The Industrial Statistics Schedule, and why it is sent you. — A book called “The Industrial Sta- tistics Schedule” is sent you with the Industrial Statistics Schedules, and it will be of service to you in many ways in the prosecution of your labors. It is a copy of the original Schedule approved by the Governor and Council, under provisions of Chapter 386, Acts of 1874, sect. 3, and from it the blanks relative to the Industrial Statistics have been pre- pared. It contains, on page 3, and pages 107-109 inclusive, the laws and constitutional provisions by authority of which the decennial work you are en- gaged upon is conducted ; it also contains all the questions found upon any Industrial Statistics blank, which has been sent to you. It is furnished you, that you may have the laws to which you may need to refer, at hand, and to enable you to settle any doubts that may arise in the minds of manufacturers as to your right to ask a particular question, which might appear objection- able. You will find by examining Division 1. (Manu- factures) that 1076 names of manufactured articles of Work for Industrial and other Schedules. — Page 4,1 structions. ffo. 2. are contained therein. These, for convenience of reference, and from the fact that different questions ! are asked of different manufacturers, are arranged in 50 sections, each with a thoroughly descriptive title. Sec. 51 is self-explanatory. Division II. (Occu- pations) is arranged after the same general plan as Div. 1., but as the names of the different occupa- tions are comparatively few in number they are all printed on the Occupation Schedule (Form 8) . Sec. 55 is similar to Sec. 51 and its meaning is apparent. Division III. (Products) and Division IY. (Prop- erty) are arranged as in the preceding divisions ; ! and, as in the case of Occupations, the names of Products and the names of Productive Property are enumerated upon the Products and Property Sched- ule (Form 9). Div. V. (sections 61-64 inclusive), comprising Special Inquiries, is easy of comprehension. You j will find that all the inquiries therein contained appear upon one or the other of the schedules with | which you have been supplied. At the end of those sections, in Div. I., in which it was impossible to give every separate article of manufacture by name, you will find a “note” printed. This note means that those articles not mentioned are considered as being made, and that the questions apply equally as well to unenumerated articles as they do to those specified byname. The note on page 56, makes it absolutely impossible for an article to be manufactured which is not compre- hended by this Schedule, and no manufacturer, because you may not find, in the Indistrial Statistics Schedule, the exact name of the article which he may make, is in any way absolved from making a full return, by name, of what he does manufacture. The note wherever it appears in the Occupation, Products, or Property divisions has a similar com- prehensive scope, and it is deemed impossible for an occupation to be carried on, a product to be raised j or a kind of productive property to exist that is not comprehended by this Schedule, and the appro- priate questions indicated. Such being the case, it follows that every manufactured article, every occupation, each product and each kind of product- ive property can be enumerated BY ITS OWN NAME and the need entirely obviated of returning anything under the head of “miscellaneous,” “not otherwise enumerated, ” or any other unmeaning and entirely valueless designation. 131 [The Enumerator's Book of Instructions and Record of Work for Industrial and other Schedules. — Page 5.] Enumerator's Instructions. Ho. 2. The use to be made by you of the industrial Statistics Schedule is twofold -. first, when delivering Schedules; second, when collecting them. For instance, suppose when delivering, a person says he is engaged in “Bottling." You may not feel sure whether “Bottling” is a manufacture or an oc- cupation. Turn to the index, on page 98, and you will find, — “ Bottling , page 69.” Referring to that page (69), you will find that Bottling is an occupa- tion, and you will therefore leave an Occupation Schedule. On page 99 you will find, — Cheese (Food Preparations), Page 26. Cheese (Domestic Manufactures), Page 77. Turning to these pages you will find the making of “cheese” is classified both as a manufacture and and as a product. It is a manufacture when the cheese is made at a factory and the proprietor should receive and fill out a Manufactures Schedule. When the cheese is made by a farmer or his family, whether for sale or use in the family, it is a Product, and the maker should receive and fill out a Products and Property Schedule. An examination of the Index to Sched- ule Heads will show several similar points, and care must be taken in deciding which Schedule should be delivered. The principal use of the Industrial Statistics Schedule in collecting will be the aid it will give in supplying the names of manufactured articles, concerning each one of which the questions annexed, in the Schedule section, are answerable. Thus (see page 31), if a manufacturer of lumber returns “laths, piles and shingles” on one line, when describing goods manufactured, you should separate into “laths” — “piles” — “shingles” on successive lines — and get the particulars for each item separately, and not as a whole. If, when delivering or collecting, you come across the name of some manufactured article, product or occupation, not enumerated in this Schedule, you will do well to write it in your Schedule in its ap- propriate Division and Section as its presence in your book may be of value further along in your work. 18.

This course will become necessary when it is found impossible to properly separate the employes into two classes and return a part upon each schedule. If, however, two sets of employes are at work, one in Manufacturing and one in an Occupation, both Schedules should be answered in full. The object of this instruction is to prevent the double enumeration of employes. 19 . How to enter in Enumerator's Book, No. 2 • — The foregoing form shows how to begin this Enumerator’s Book. The numbers of each of the four Schedules should begin with 1, and continue numerically in order, being numbered in order of delivery. You will see that if this plan is adhered to strictly, when your delivery is completed the number placed last in the Manufactures Schedule column will show the whole number of such Sche- dules delivered by you. In the same way, in the other columns, the last number entered in each, respectively, will show the number of Occupation, Products and Property, and Special Schedules delivered by you. The way indicated of filling the last column (Date of Taking up Schedule) is to be preferred, as there will then be no doubt about the date. When you finish a street (particularly if in a city) begin the enti’ies for the next street at the top of the next page. You must use especial care that every person, firm, corporation, etc., in your district receives the necessary schedules, and to do this you must so lay out your routes, that in no way will it be possible for you to miss a part of any street, lane, alley, court, place or road. Be partic- ularly careful in the case of a large block, fronting on several streets. 20 . When to begin work, with the Schedules now sent you. — It is not expected that you will wait until you have completed your work with the “ Fam- ily ” and “ Individual ” Schedules before beginning your work with those now sent you ; but you can make use of these at once, and carry on the whole work in concert, as in many places it will save you considerable travel to do so. In cities and large towns, it may be more convenient to finish with the “ Family ” and “ Individual " Schedules before be- ginning with these ; in that case you can do so. It should be borne in mind that the whole work must be prosecuted with diligence. 134 [The Enumerator's Time Acconnt,] Office ( Name « f Enumerator.)

First. — When you call to collect Schedules, do not stop to explain the blank and try to have parties fill them : but at once make the proper inquiries, fill the blanks yourself, and proceed. Second. — It must be borne in mind that the Family Schedules must contain returns of all the people in the Commonwealth, as from them is obtained the enumeration of the inhabitants. The Individual Schedule has nothing to do with taking the account of the number of inhabitants. Third. — A family comprehends a man or woman living alone, or a number living together. Every person in the State, on the first day of May, must be counted and returned upon one of the Family Schedules in some way. Fourth. — Where dwellings are remote from settle- ments or villages, or where you know the people to be unable to fill the blanks, you can fill them yourself at your first visit. Fifth. — Remember that the Family Schedule is all important; push this with diligence and thor- oughness. In collecting, get all the Family Sched- ules without fail, and as many of the Individual Schedules as are filled out, and then proceed. The Individual Schedule is for the purposes of science, and has nothing to do with the enumeration of the people. Its aim is not to pry into private affairs, but to present features in statistics bearing upon the welfare of the working community. These Individual Schedules will all be destroyed as soon as the figures on them are tabulated, and no record will be kept of the names and residences on them. We. are constantly being asked by Enumerators, — “Who should receive the Individual Schedule.” The first question on this Schedule is, “ What is the Occupation upon which you chiefly depend for a livelihood ? ” If they receive wages or salary from THAT occupation, you should deliver them Indivi- dual Schedules ; hut no others should receive them. Be sure to leave as many Individual Schedules as there are persons of the above-mentioned class in the house. If it will facilitate your work, omit Bureau of Statistics of Labor, 33 Pemberton Square, Boston, May 25, 1875. the numbering in space “A,” on Form (i, and the corresponding record in your book Sixth. — If there are many people in your district who do not speak or understand English, so that the services of an interpreter are rendered necessary, you are directed to employ one, who will be paid an equal amount with yourself for an equal number of hours of work, llis account must be sworn to, as yours must lie, and should be returned in company with yours to this office for settlement. Any ex- penses you are. put to for expressage should be in- cluded in your account against this office. Seventh. — You should be able to gather on an average, from 200 to 250 names per day. In many localities you can gather more. Eighth. — Inquiry 6 on the Family Schedule has reference to the whole number of children born to any woman whose name appears on the Schedule, whether she is wife, widow, boarder, or what. Ninth. — A person’s home is where he sleeps. This question is often asked respecting people who lodge in one place and board in another. All such persons who lodge in families should be returned on the Family Schedule of that family; but if they lodge in stores, or in places where no Family Schedule would naturally be left on which they might be returned, they must be sought out and a re- turn obtained for each on a separate Family Schedule. Tenth. — A jail, a hospital, or any such institution is looked upon as constituting a single family, and it should be supplied with a sufficient number of the Family Schedules on which to enter all the in- mates, as only twelve persons can be returned on a single schedule. The blanks used to make up a return from such an institution should be fastened together before returning them to this office, and marked “.Jail,” etc;. Eleventh. — Enumerators are desired to exercise diligence in their work, as this office is required by law to prepare an abstract of the census returns, and present it to the Secretary of the Commonwealth on or before the first day of September next.

EXPLANATION OF INQUIRY 45, ABOVE. Team work is a species of work made use of to some extent in manufacturing Boots and Shoos, and by it is meant that combination of men where the labor of all, — each doing a par- ticular part, — is necessary to the production of a single boot or slice. Where the system of “ team work ” is carried on in the manufacture of other goods than Boots and Shoes, Inquiry 45 is generally applicable. General Notice. When the Enumerator leaves this Schedule with you to be filled, he will name the day on which he will call for it, and you are desired to have the spaces filled in by the morning of that day in order that his progress may not be delayed. It will he his duty, under the law, to com- plete the return if it he defective, and to correct it if it he erroneous. Black ink should be used in writing, in all cases where possible. Replies written in pencil will be accepted, if the writing is firm and legible. The Enumerator is author- ized to reject such returns as are faintly written or illegible. It is intended that every Manufac- turer, no matter how small the amount of goods produced by him, should receive and fully fill out one of these Schedules. Persons who refuse to give correct informa- tion render themselves liable to prosecution, and a fine of One Hundred Dollars, (Chap. 386, Acts of 1874, Section 6). The Enumerators are supplied with blank forms in which to enter cases of failure to reply, and instances of wil- ful mis-statement. When necessary, they will be filled out and sent to this Bureau, the officers of which are bound by law to immediately fur- nish the facts to the Attorney-General in order that he may institute a prosecution in accord- ance with Section 7 of the law above referred to.

Instructions. — The object of the above section is to get returns from various businesses related, to manufactures which could not properly be returned on the Manufactures Schedule. These are mostly of three classes. First, the constructing of something which can not be removed, as drain-building, plastering ; second, the making or contributing towards the completion of an article where no stock or but an inconsiderable amount is used, as bottling, lathing, cloth finishing ; third, repairing and the making of small or trifling articles to order, as jewelry repairing , cobbling, tinsmilhing. Some employers following some of the occupations enumerated produce consider- able quantities of new goods, in which case they ought to receive a Manufactures Schedule on which to make return. If they also do repairing they will also need this Schedule to return it on. Those employers who can properly make return on this Schedule but do not find their occupation mentioned should erase one that Is enumerated and insert their own. By Employers, on this Schedule, is meant those carrying on a business whether they actually hire any help or not. Generally speaking, if an Employer manufactures anything, so that he can properly make his return on the Manufactures Schedule, he should do so. If, in addition, he does work allied to manufacturing, such as repairing or renovating, he should return that on this Schedule. But, if he does not produce anything that can be bought, sold or exchanged, — in short, an article — he will have no use for the Manufactures Schedule, but should make his return on this Occupation Schedule. Bleaching and dyeing on this Schedule applies only to those establishments where old goods are cleansed, dyed, etc. Carpet-making does not refer to the Manufacture or weaving of carpets, but to the Occupation of sewing the woven breadths together.

's. If there are more than six buildings used by this employer, obtain another Schedule from the Enumerator to supply you with more spaces, or rule a form like the one above and affix it to this Schedule. “Basements” and “attics” are to be considered as stories in answering Inquiry 43; but wherever they occur, write the word “basement” or “attic” after the number indicating the number of stories ; as, “ 3 basement , ” — meaning three stories, one of which is a basement. In answering Inquiry 44, the number of persons employed in the first story of all the buildings should be given ; and similarly as regards the other stories. Thus, if there are 3 buildings and the persons employed in the first story of each, number 50, 30 and 60, respectively, return the total number, 140 as working in the first story. In giving means of escape in case of fire (Inquiry 45), mention those in use by each story in each building. Thus, if there are two buildings and you wish to give the fire escapes for the first story, write : 1st story, 1st building, inside stairways, doors swing both ways ; 2 d building, inside stairways and iron outside platforms.

Every tract of land (the whole or part of which is usually cultivated), whether owned or hired by you, should be regarded as a farm. The filling out of spaces under Inquiry 20 (Number, Description and Value of Buildings) will show those farms which have dwelling houses, bams, out-buildings and the usual appurtenances of a home. In stating value of farms or buildings give your own estimate of their worth. The acreage given for farms should be the total acreage including all kinds of land, whether under cultivation, unimproved, unimprovable, or woodland. These kinds are subdivided below in the divisions headed “ Cultivated Land " and “Un- cultivated Land.” The respective amounts returned in the last-named divisions (Cultivated and Uncultivated) added together should, of course, just equal the total acreage returned for your farm or farms. In answer to Inquiry 21 give the cos<, to you, of the implements, &c., in use. Cultivated Land. Classification of Cultivated Land. 25. Acreage of Value of the same. 2H.

The kinds of Cultivated Land mentioned mayor may not form part of a farm; the object of the classification of cultivated land is to show how much is used for farm crops, how much as a market garden, and how much, respectively, for nurseries, orchards, and seed gardens. Where the market garden, nursery, etc., does not form part of a farm, Inquiries 25 to 31 inclusive, should be answered in full. Uncultivated Land. Classification of Uncultivated Land. 32.

The kinds of Uncultivated Land mentioned may or may not form part of a farm; the object of the classification of uncultivated land is to show how much is unimproved land, how much is unimprovable land, and how much is woodland. Care should be taken in returning '‘'‘unimprovable" land; of course, land used for roads, or covered by deep ponds is unimprovable for cultivation ; but a shallow pond, or a (at present) constantly flooded tract of marsh land should be considered rather as unimproved than as unimprovable. In general, if you believe a tract of land on your farm, by proper irrigation or drainage, or by filling In, can be made pro- ductive, return such land as unimproved. Should there be a mine, quarry, pit or bog, of any kind, upon your farm, include its acreage in the total / arm acreage , and the area of each kind of such productive property will appear as answer to Inquiry 37 at the top of the next page of this Schedule.

It is not desirable that you should spend any time upon them beyond leaving them where you think they be- long, and taking up those that are voluntarily filled. Do not stop to fill them yourself, or to insist upon having them filled. A sufficient number for the purpose for which they were made has already been filled. Bear it distinctly in mind that you are not to spend any time upon them. If any of the questions (even one) on an Individual Schedule! are answered, it should be regarded as of value, and sent in. The last clause of the Fifth Section of Instructions of May 2oth, 187 was not clearly understood, — hence the above. Second. — Complete your Family Schedules as rapidly as possible. Do not spend time in argu- ment, but get the information and proceed ; if part- ies desire you to sign the Schedules yourself, you can do so. Third. — The Products and Property Schedule, Form 9, is not quite clearly understood. You should have it filled by all who own or hire farms, but not by people who simply have a garden from which they get vegetables for personal use. As a general rule, a farm means land cultivated for the support or profit of the proprietor. In this respect, there are three farming classes : 1st, those who are farmers in the general accep- tation of the term. 2d, those who carry on market gardens. 3d, those who cultivate more or less land from which products are sold. This classification will probably assist you and enable you to decide in most cases. Special instances will arise when you will be obliged to consult this office. Orchards from which fruit is sold should be returned. All hay raised should be returned. You can fill Form 9 yourself, if you prefer, on your first visit. Fourth. — The Decennial Census and Industrial Statistics have nothing to do with the valuation of houses not on farms, nor the valuation of village lots. You need not take the number of animals of any kind except those upon farms, as part of their stock or productions. Fifth. — No consolidation, footing or compilation with reference to any of the schedules is to be done by you ; but as soon as your district has been com- pleted, so far as Forms 5 and 6 are concerned, send all papers, each kind done up by itself and properly marked to this office ; then complete the work on Forms 7, 8, 9 and 10 as rapidly as possible, and forward. It must not be understood, however, that you can not do the work of the Industrial Statistics at the same time with the Census work ; but in case the Census work is completed first, send it in as directed above. In sending packages by express do not fail to take a receipt from the Ex- press Co. Many Enumerators have failed to notify us of the date of the commencement of their work. Those who have not done so, should at once comply with the rule. When your work is all completed, sign and take the enclosed oath before any Justice of the Peace, and forward to this office. This is essential to comply with the law. If parties en- gaged in manufactures or occupations desire you to fill their Schedules, you should do so. CARROLL D. WRIGHT, Chief. GEORGE II.
