TAKING OF THE
NATIONAL CENSUS
Two and a Quarter Billion Ques
tions to Be Asked.
EXPERTS WILL FRAME THEM.
Each Query Costs Tons of Thousand*
of Dollars ? Answers to Be Compiled
by Electricity at the Rato of 3,500 or
4,000 an Hour.
The national census of the United
Statins partakes of the nature of both
nu Inventory of material possessions
and a social. Industrial, educational
and moral slink taking. The consti
tution requires a census every ten
years as the basis fur the reapportion
ment of representatives in congress.
Fewer even than six questions, the
number asked In the tirst census of
1790. would now meet the basic need
from which the census sprang. But
progress in general and national ex
pansion in particular have demanded
more information.
It may Ik> asked. "What questions
shall l>e included In the schedules of
the census bureau where each costs
tens of thousand: of dollars?" Upon
this point there Is a difference of opin
ion. and since bureaus, like Individ
uals. are fallible the census reports
E. I' VN \ DC RANI).
have been criticised, often severely,
by men well qualified to judge. Profit
ill;; by the past. the otlielais of the
thirteenth decennial census have said
to a body of experts, 'Tut your heads
together and help us to compose sched
ules covering population, agriculture,
manufactures and mines and mining
which shall best fill thfi demands of
business, science, progress and human
welfare."
So the classes of men which have
supplied competent critics in the past
have now furnished builders who ure
about to complete their labors in
Washington. They came as salaried,
expert special agents to give the coun
try the benefit of study and experi
ence to make the census of 1010, it is
hoped, the most valuable ever takeu
anywhere in the world. There nre
among these men professors, occupy
ing many different chairs, and indus
trial, farm, stock, mining and other
experts. The schedule of manufac
tures has been presented for criticism
to commercial bodies, and the tenta
tive agricultural schedule has been ex
amined by experts < f the department
of agriculture, by state commissioners
of agriculture and others.
Many Enumerators to Be Employed.
Census Director F. Dana Durand Is
the administrative head of the bureau,
which is under the jurisdiction of
Charles Nagel, secretary of the depart
ment of commerce and labor. As
sistant Director W. I-\ Wllloughby,
with Dr. J. A. II11I. will have immedi
ate charge <?f the technical work of
! the bureau. The population returns
as of the date April 13. 1010. will be
obtained by enumerators under
the oversight of :!30 supervisors. The
agricultural schedule also will be car
ried by 43,000 of the enumerators and
will cover the farm operations of 1000
and the farm equipment on April 15,
1010.
The great importance of this sched
ule will be realized from the fact that
about three times as much capital is
Invested In agriculture as In manufac
tures. Six million farms will be visit
ed. and It Is expected that It will de
velop that fully 13.000.000 people are
engaged In agricultural pursuits.
About li.fMki special agents will begin
the collection of statistics of manufac
tures for tin- year lOOO on Jan. 1.
Three hundred ?<f the regular enumer
ators will carry schedules of manu
factures in certain districts.
New Compiling Device.
AWout 3.000 clerks in addition to the
permanent force of the census bureau
will lie employed In Washington to
compile the statistics from the sched
ules. Uncle Sain's up to dateness In a
mechanical way in the present case Is
attested by the new equipment which
is to be Installed to facilitate the labor
of compilation. The tise of machinery
has made It possible to enlarge the
scope of Investigation included In the
schedule, because it is now jvosslble to
deal with a mass of data which could
not have beeu handled by the old
method of making tallies.. In 1000 the
schedule of Douulatloii alone coutalned

"I have observed that the difference
between the Americans and the Eng

and the latter are all pessimists," said
Lord Northcllffe, who controls the Lon
don Times and sixty or more other for
eign publications, on his recent visit
to Chicago. Everything Lord North
cllffe sa w was a target for his com
ment. For America be sees a great
future.
"Your whole nation, the members or
which have been described to me as
frenzied money grnbbere," ho said, "I
find to b? dreamers? a whole nation of
dreamers. j , r
"Do you know. It Is ludicrous to me
to look at some of your papers and Bee
how old fashioned they are. Look at
the American papers today, all discuss

look on some young boy Just off for
college or as I would on a young couple
newly married. Tho country delights
me. 1 am enthusiastic over It. Yoo

are all ahead.
"You have one tremendous figure
here. I mean your late and future
President Theodore Roosevelt. He Is
a splendid man. One nation does not
produce more than two or three men
like that."
"1X> you believe that he will again

"Why can I doubt It? Everywhere 1

There is nothing like It In Europe,
such hero worship. Arid he deserves
it too. He Is a tremendous figure."
"Do you believe he will be ranked
among the great statesmen of the
world r
"Assuredly I do. We are still cloee
to him. however, and It Is hard to
toll. Certainly we have no one like
him In Europe today!"
Speaking of the difference between
the Eugllsh and the American temper
anient, he said:
"The Englishman Is a born pessi
mist. He Is never content with sttr'
face Indications; he Is always looking
beneath to find something rotten,
something warping, something Wrong;
he la never sure thtt he la prosperous,
no matter how rich he If ,
"You Americans, on the other.nand,
are radical optimists. A glance at the
surface satisfies you. Every obe of
you believes that America Is the great

Americans are the 'greatest people.

"And I believe that the future of
America Is great You should pro
duce the next great musical composer
here. I do not know that you will,
but you should, for you have all the

strain and a fine enthusiasm every
where. The two greatest artists of re
cent years were Americans, Whistler
and Sargent And yotor standards In
the higher fields of culture aro grow

After visiting the University, of Chi
cago Lord Northcllffe said: "John "D.

of his vast wealth than the founding
of your wonderful university. You
should appreciate your rich men? for
the wise use of their millions."
He was asked his opinion of J. Pier

"J. Pferpont 'Morgan?" he replied.
