We have to apâ€" point, instruct, and supervise over 15,â€" 000 people in collecting the data. We have to map out every spare yard that each one has to cover and plan his exact procedure therein. It needs three times as big an army to take the Cenâ€" sus as Wolfe had when he took Quebec. Later on, we will employ seven or eight hundred clerks here in Ottawa for two or three years to compile and get out the results. The bill will be 24 million dollars for ‘the first years work alone. In the United States the corresponding bill this year is over 45 million dollars. "The real bigness of the Census, howâ€" ever, consists in the part it plays in the conduct of our national and priâ€" vate affairs. The Census is the great decennial stock taking of the nation. We have all sorts of our social and ecoâ€" nomic activities, from day to day and from year to year. We could not move measurements of trade, production, prices, wages, transportation, finance, and so on. Now, the chief object of the Census is to fill in the background of all these records, and thus give them a real meaning. It provides, to vary the new lowâ€"priced De Soto Sixes and the brilâ€" liant De Soto Eightsâ€"cars which are Chryslerâ€" built and carry on the great traditions of Chrysler in appearance, in performance and in valueâ€"giving.

More particularly it measures the human element in the stateâ€"their numbers, their sex, their age, their conjugal condition, their naâ€" tionality, their occupations, their reliâ€" gionâ€"each and every human charâ€" acteristic that has to be known and analysed if we are to have any true yardstick of progress in the country and to be able to direct the channels in which progress shall follow. For, unâ€" less you know all about the people of a country, your other knowledge about that country is in the air. When the Government therefore counts and apâ€" praises the population every ten years through the Census. it is doing in effect what the business man does when he counts his cash, measures his assets, reviews his overhead, and so on at the aond of his business term. There is no wealth, says Ruskin, but life. "The Census in fact is part and parâ€" cel of the common, everyday speech, and of the common, everyday thinking of the people~ Every one of us uses the Census practically all the time. We may do it unconsciously, but we do it. Birth rates, death rates, marriage rates, â€"every single fact whose significance is relativeâ€"and most facts are of that orderâ€"â€"depends on the Census. A good many of us in this matter are like the character in Molier‘s play, who had not heard of "prose," and was astonished to find he had been talking "prose" all his life! But it is always the very big things that are so taken for granted tt "Thu. anyone taker n that th thought les Turkish pe the day th ness is sus tory is clc run, and t leave their which the rounds.

In Great whose example we rightly tr great respect, they have virtu "The forthcoming census will be the seventh since Confederation. It is going to be a good one, the best yet, we think. I have no time to go into its details here and now. These will be published in the press in due course. Whilst the 1931 Census will follow the main line of its predecessors, it has some imporâ€" tant new features as well. As to new matter: First of all we are going to obtain some additional information with regard to institutions, such as hospitals, asylums, reformatories, childâ€" welfare institutions, and so on,â€"social pathology we might call itâ€" that will be of aid to social and other workers who are grappling with the manifold problems which these represent and which are daily becoming more pressâ€" ing. Then we are going to devote a special section to the measure of the unemployment situation as it has exâ€" isted in Canada during the past year. Then we are going to collect some new data regarding wholesale and retail trading activities that will enable us to get a bird‘s eye view of the great proâ€" blem of distribution for the first time in Canada. These are all new features. The agricultural section of the Census will also be greatly improvedâ€"comâ€" mensurate with the part played by this ail important and basic industry in the economic life of the country. is no need for stringent measures this kind in Canada, but there is need that we absolutely ensure a comprehenâ€" sive and accurate Census. Every other ccuntry in Europe and America at the present moment is putting forth the most strenuous efforts to this end. Also, there is a tendency to increase the freâ€" quency of Censuses. In Great Britain, whose example we rightly treat with great respect, they have virtually deâ€" cided on changing from a Census once in every ten years to a Census every five years. The reason, of course, is that the increasing complexity of moâ€" dern life, the increasing demands upon Governments, the steadily growing seope of social legislation, is reaching on the need for upâ€"toâ€"date and comâ€" prehensive economic information, withâ€" out which policies cannot be determinâ€" ed nor the business of the country conâ€" ducted. "Now, I think we should be able to presuppose a keen Canadian interest in the Census, because the credit of taking the first Census of medern times belongs to Canada. The year was 1666, and the Census was the Census of the little colony of New France. The reâ€" sults showing some 3,000 souls are still preserved in the Archives in Paris, and we have a transcript of them in Ottaâ€" wa. I noticed the statement in a Sweâ€" dish document recently that Sweden took the first Census in 1748, but this is not the caseâ€"Canada was eighty years earlier. Of course, there were soâ€" called Censuses long before thatâ€" in China and Babylon three or four thouâ€" sand years B.C. Again, Moses numâ€" bered the children of Israel about 1,500 B.C. Then, again, we read in the First Book of Chronicles that "Satan stood up and moved David to number Isreal." This was about 1,000 B.C., and the reâ€" sults were very bad. But I need hardly assure you that Satan has nothing to do with the modern Census. The Greeks and Romans also had Censuses, and there was the famous Cer.sus taken by William the Conqueror, which we reâ€" member from our school days as Domesday Book. But these were not real Censuses. They were primarily miltary and taxation levies. They were like the registration which we took here in Canada during the Warâ€"not like our Census. It cannot be emphasized too strongly that the modern Census is purely scientific. It is not interested in the individual as much. It is the broad pictureâ€"the mass effectâ€"that is sought. Bo true is this that it is against the law to use the data colâ€" lected from the individual for any other purpose. A Census employee can be heavily punishedâ€"can be put in jailâ€"if a single fact relating to an individual is divulged to anyone. Here, in the Buâ€" reau of Statistics, where the records are compiled and stored, we are forbidden even to make a search concerning an individual record. The only reason why names are taken down at all is that we may be able to rectify possible mistakes or omissions by enumerators. The compilations are all made from punched cards which do not carry the names. Now, the Census of New France in 1666 was a census of this true scienâ€" tific characterâ€"and it was literally the first of its kind. That is why Canada may boast, in the bosom of the family, to have invented the chief statistical engine of modern civilization. Clearly, with such a history, we should have a naticonal pride in our census. nent at e regards the next June as he questions : that forg ‘ Canadians I , less enlight pecple.

Beâ€" cause, as already explained individual information is absolutely confidential. The Census has nothing to do with taxation, or military servics, or school attendance, or immigration, or the adâ€" ministration of any law. It cannot be used to get you into difficulty in any wayâ€"unless you do not furnish the facts. "As I said in the beginning, fuller particulars will be given out from time to time as the Census date approaches. Just at the moment we are busy reâ€" ceiving and parcelling the tons of mateâ€" rials in the form of schedules, instrucâ€" tion books, portfolios, etc., that will be used in the Census. Millions of enveâ€" lopes are being address in this tion. Simultaneously we are proceedâ€" ing with the appointment of what we call our Census commissioners, one for about each county throughout the Dominionâ€"aitogether about 260 of them. These are our field captains or supsrintendents of the field work. Under them are the enumeratorsâ€"50 to 150 in each caseâ€"who conduct the house tc house canvas. Then in June the actual work of enumeration will be in full swing. By July we should be able to begin the compilation of results. I am glad to have had these few minutes of explanation and hope that they have interested you as forerunner of the fuller materials that will be published later on. If on any point you would care for information at once, if you have an idea or a criticism of any kind, a letter addressed to the Dominion Buâ€" reau of Statistics will bring you an answer by return of mail." VAILLIANT PORCUPINE TO EXPLORE TURNBULL CLAIMS A despatch received this week from North Bay says:â€""On the recommenâ€" dation of Geo. Gray, of Timmins, a London syndicate has taken an option on the Vailliant group of claims in Porcupine and qVans a develcpment campaign. Assays are said to run from $7.40 to $18.80 on gold on three veins which are shown up on the claims. The property is in Turnbull township, on the read to Kamiskotia.

Speaking of the organization in Timâ€" mins of Finnish prople loyal to Canada, The New Liskeard Speaker says:â€" "Would it not be well for all loyal forâ€" eigners who come to Canada to make this country the future home for themâ€" selves and their children to crganize so that our people may kncw them and trust them."
