DIRECTOR ^CENSUS
MAKES ANNUAL REPORT
WASHINGTON. D. C.. Jan. 3. In
his annual report to the Secretary of
Commerce, made public today, Wil-j
Ham M Stowart. Director, describes I
the work accomplished by the Bu
reau of the Census during the three-[
v«r census period ended June 30, j
ag that period the Bureau!
.. t* preparations for the 14th :
Decenn il Census, which covered the j
subjeovs of 'population, agriculture!
(including irrigation and drainage).!
manufactures, and mines and quar
ries (including oil and gas wells);;
conducted Its field canvass, in the j
course of which approximately 90,000
enumerators and special agents were
employed; and compiled and pre j
pnred for publication the census re-j
wults. w'hich in final form will fill 111
quanta volumes having an aggregate
,:,f 12,<KI0 page
Piy^ng tlio progrf ■ < of ilie work
all thn .fundamental statistics anil
many delta lied figures were published
as bulletins or advance staitemenu;
and by June 30, 1022, the last of
the manuscript foi the final reports
vail been -ent to the printer.
^.The Bureau has thus established
a record in census taking. “So far
as thin census is concerned," said
lie Director, "the charge (anno, b"
nVade that Ithe figuros published are
ancient history. It is safe to say
that never before has the public be -1
supplied with such an array of facts
concerning the dements of our popu
lation, their social condition, and
their in lu-tidal activities so shortly
after the data wore collected."
It is noteworthy that the cost of
the census work was kept somewhat
below the total amount appropriate.I.
despite the unexpected obstacles en
countered and the abnormally high
wages anil prices prevailing at tho
time the census was taken.
Aside from the decennial census
work, the Bureau carried on its reg
ular annual inquiries covering births
and deaths In registration areas and
cotton production, consumption, anl
distribution, together with a number
of o her statistical investigations au
thorized iby law. Tho birth anil
death registration areas, which now
contain 6G per cent and 85 par cent,
respectively, of the total population
■of the country, are being extended
from time to time, and it is expect 1
that ultimately the entire- United
States will be included in one regis
tration area for both births anil
deaths.
The Bureau’s office force, which at
tho beginning ef the fiscal ye.tr 1922
numbered 2.388, was reduced from
month to month until on June 30.
1922, the close of the census period,
it comp it led 831 officials anil e:n
ployees.
Attention is railed in the report
to the handicap under which the
Renans Bureau labors by reason of
its low salary scale, which was the
chief cause for the separation, he.
tween July 1 and September 15. 1922,
of 75 out of a total of 765 clerical
employees; that is to say, one-tenth
of the entire force left the Bureau's
service in the short period iff 'wo
ami one-half months, the majority of
them having obtained emplovm r.t in
other bureaus or offices at higher
salaries.
A poor man never suffers from
ennui. In his ease it is just plain
ornery laziness. You have to be
rich to have fancy names for your
cussed ness.
