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 which do much of the tabulation, punch holes in a card, the number and ANOTHER OIJ) LANDMARK AT DUKE ABOUT TO PASS Alspaugh Dormitory About to Be Tom Down to Make Room Far Now Building Program.

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. may be saved for re-erection at Kit trell college for negroes, near Hen derson. Bricks and stone work will be carefully marked and crated for transportation negro institu tion. Much tradition of Trinity College is centered around the old dormi tory and the wrecking of the bui’d ing marks the passing of a well known landmark.
