OUNTING THE PEOPLE

THE NEXT GENBUS,

TREMENDOUS PECE OF WORK

A Bill is before Parliament in con action with the census, which will be taken on the last Sunday in April of next year. Counting the people is a tremendous piece of work and is reckoned to cost a cool half-million. An army of forty thousand people will be employed for one week, each enumerator being responsible for about afteen hundred people, says the Daily Mail.

enumerators and

n filled in. The forms are re turned to headquarters in London, and there the staff check them.

The checking is done by means of the large ordnance maps, which are pa the scale of 25 Inches to the mile and which show every house in the kingdom, inhabited or empty.

The head census staff numbers about 200, and their work will keep them busy not for a week merely but for several years. All the various statistics have to be boiled down for publication. The staff are aided in their work by electrically propelled tabulating machines. Like so many of these ingenious automatic cal culators, the census machine is an American invention.

It must not be supposed that a census is taken merely for the sake of satisfying public curiosity as to how many people there are in the British Isles.

The facts and figures recorded each ten years are of immense value to those responsible for the ad- rainistration of the country.

It is most important to know exactly how many people there are in each separate industry, whether people are flocking from the country into the towns, and in what places population is respectively increasing or decreasing.

The first Bill for taking a census was brought in by Mr. Thomas Potter in 1753 but met with savage opposition. It was said that it would be used as a basis for new taxation or conscription. In the event the Bill was defeated, and it was not until the year 1801 that the first Census was actually taken.

Since then a census has been taken every ten years, but it seems likely that in future we shall have a five year census and a permanent Census Department.
