America's Encyclopedia—The Census
Bureau.
BY ROBERT P. BELL
Imag’ne the Hippodrome—the larg
est playhouse of New York and of th<
New World! Imagine it filled witli
people from so; flights to the last; row
in topmost gallery—orchestra, (Jris>
circle, and balconies—a huge upris
ing, semicircular bowl, lined with hu
man beings. Imag'ne it thus,; am!
then strip the stage; take away all
the strange conglomeration of dra
matic activities wh'eh theße inventiv<
stage managers are accustomed to ap
ply to their productions. Instead of
all this, people the stage witli an exec
utive body and fix it up as a modern
business officou—with the customer:
files, desks, and hard working clerks.
But leave the audience—a regular
Hippodrome audience on the biggest
Saturday night. Imagine all this, and
what you have is not the Hippodrome,
but one of the grentest efficiency nr
gnnizations in the world—the Census
Bureau of the United States. Tin'
imaginary Hipimdrome audience is a
part of the 96.000 men and women
employed by the Bureau during the
height of its work and the executives
on the stage are the men behind the
guns, the 700 to 6,000 officers and
employees who work out the problems
and comp : le the statistics, of the vast
organization.
Ask yourself n question. How much
do you know about yourself? From
your answer deduct all the unessen
tial knowledge and you will have left
approximately what the Census Bit
rinu knows about you. It is the larg
est statistical organization ih the
world, and as long as it operates on
its present plane of efficiency, the
Government could, if it would, dare
anyone to ask it a question about it
self that It couldn't answer.
The Constitution provides for a
Census every ten years, and fourteen
have been taken. But when it was
discovered that the results of a census
took ten years to tabulate, the Census
Bureau was made a permanent and
continuing office. That was in 1902.
Eleven years later, in 1913. the Bu
reau of Census was made a brauch of
the Department of Commerce and has
since been under its direction.
Investigations as to population, in
cluding occupations: agriculture, in
cluding irrigation and drainage; man
ufactures, including kinds, plants,
value, employees, capital invested and
go:sis made: and mines, including
quarries, oil and gas well constitute
the main divisions of the decennial
census. There is also a report oil
the blind, the deaf, on institutional
population of all sorts, and on our
wealth, our public debts, and our taxes
and tax systems.
Births, deaths, marriages, divorces,
and the finances of cities, towns,
states and counties are checked up by
this busy Bureau once every year.
Every two years it finds out ail that
is to be known about the various man
ufacturing concerns scattered through
out the country. And once every five
years it thoroughly investigates agre
culture and public utilities. ;i
Mechanical recorders and counter*
are used in the offices at Washington
as an aid in the compilation of the
necessary statistics. These

position of the holes -Indicating certain
facts. When n set of cards carrying
the imputation statistics of Alamnnce
County, soy. are turned over to a
counting machine and fed through it,
electrical contacts made through the
holes in the cards automatically reg
ister. and the machine counts, adds,
and thus tabulates, with a speed and
accuracy that no human brain could
equal.
The elaborateness of the organiza
tion can be better understood by skim
ming over some of the quest’ons that
the enumerators have to answer.
Os population they ask: Name:
place of abode; color: sex : age; con
jugal eond.tion; place of birth; nat
ionality or mother tongue, if of for-1
eign birth; number of years in the
Cnited States: citizenship: occupa
tion : employer or employee; school
attendance; literacy and tenure of
home.
Os agriculture, they ask : Xame, col
or. and country of birth of each farm
occupant; tenure and acreage of
farm; acreage in woodland and the
character of timber; value of farm
and improvements, and of farm imple
ments ; number and value of livestock,
and of domestic animals: acreage of
crops for the current year, acreage
and value of crops for tiie preceding
year.
Os manufacturers, mines, and quar
ries. they ask : Xame and location of
each establishment; character of or
ganization ; character of business: or
kinds of goods manufacturer ; amount
of capital actually invested; number
of proprietors, firm members, co
-1 tart Tiers, stock-holders and officers,
with the amount of their salaries:
number of employees and amount of
ther salaries; quantity and cost of
materials, amount of miscellaneous ex
penses ; quality and value of products;
time in operation during the current
year; character and quantity of power
used; character and number of me
chanics employed.
Curious, amazing and interesting
are the things that the census could
tell us about ourselves, if it chose to
do so. It could tell you almost to a
person and dollar how many people
in the United States own their own
homes, the value of the homes and
what the mortgages amount to. It
could also tell who give up buying a
home as a bad job before it is paid
for. and how many finish buying. The
live-stock and poultry of every indi
vidual farm, their breeding powers
and value, is known by the census.
Go down the alphabet. Select any
subject you can think of—whether it
begin with A. O. or X. Write your
query to the Census Bureau and you
will draw reports that are the very
last word in conciseness and accuracy.
If you are interested, it can tell
you how many foreigners, and the
number of each nationality, there are
in the United States. Or if you should
like to know something abont the
manners and customs of the Indians
and Esquimaux of Alaska simply ask
the Census Bureau.
Through the efficiency of its census
system, the I’nited States probably
has a more thorough knowledge of it
self than any other nation in the
world.
