Merely to state the questions asked on these would be impossible here. The populaâ€" tion schedule carries some forty colâ€" imnns, recording for each person the name, family, kind of dwelling, age, sex, _ conjugal â€" condition, birthplace, citizenship or nationality, racial origin, language, religion, education, occupaâ€" tion, unemployment, ete., etec. in all necessary detail. The schedule relatâ€" ing to agriculture was drawn up in consultation with Dominion and Proâ€" vincial Agricultural Departments and Commonweath. As a result of the work of the Interâ€" national Institute of Agriculture, which has been investigating the requireâ€" ments of a Census of Agriculture and the means by which it may be made uniform in as far as possible for all countries, we now have for agriculture a body of data which will gradually become comparable the world over. Scope of the Canadian Census As already remarked, the primary task of the Census is the enumeration and description of very man, woman and child in Canada. Good business distates that when so large an organâ€" ization as this requires has once been created, it should be put to every availâ€" able purpose. In other words, the "overhead‘‘* must earn its maximum. The Census, therefore, should deal not only with the people themselves, but directly with the people‘s institutions and affairs, in so far as the latter can ae properly brought within its scope. cluding such varied phases as birth and death rates, education, transporâ€" tation facilities, dfinancial conditions, etc.), together with its ills in any form, "an be apprehended and interpreted only through the medium of population staiistics. Even if the Census went no farther it would be the basis of all study of our social and economic conâ€" dlitions. Linked with other official data, however, it rounds out the scheme Of information by which as by a chart the Government directs the national affairs. Without the Census, it is literal truth to say that legislation and administration would be carried on in the dark, and that there would be no means of knowing whether the country was on the road to success or disaster. So cogently is this felt that censuses at iveâ€"year intervals, instead of ten, are universally advocated, the chief drawâ€" back being the heavy cost. As the practice of nations in regard o censusâ€"taking tends more and more ‘to uniformity the Census affords the benefits of comparison with other gountrigs Bnd cnables our national problems to be studied in their general setting. Especially is this true of the countries which constitute the British termine the representation in our federal Parliament. As is well known, the British North America Act gave _the Province of Quebec a fixed number of seats (sixtyâ€"five) in the Dominion House of Commons. The number asâ€" sizned to the other provinces was pro rata, with an arrangement that the lirst readjustment should ;ake place on the completion of the Census of 1871. and that a similar readjustment should follow every subsequent decennial cenâ€" sus. The Census is thus taken primâ€" arily to enoble a redistribution bill to he passed by Parliament. But the Census has far wider uses ‘han to fix electoral representation. It constitutes, under the modern system nothing less than a great periodical stocktaking of the Canadian people, designed to show from the widest angl» the point that has been reached in the general progress of the nation. It is difficult within brief compass to exâ€" plain how this function is fulfilled. Fundamentally, the importance of the Census hinges upon its analysis of the human element or man power of the country. _ The people themselves are after all the basic asset of every state. Their numbers, sex, age, occupation, raclal origin, language, education, etc., etc., are facts in themselves of the greatest moment. They constitute, moreover, the background against which almost all other facts must be projiected if the latter are to have real significance. The wellâ€"being of the stateâ€"physical, moral, economicâ€"{(inâ€" cluding such varied phases as birth and death rates, education, transporâ€" The Census Schedules For the compilation of the Census a considerable extra staff is required at Ottawa. Census compilation and tabuâ€" lation is an elaborate and detailed process which would take much space to describe, An interesting feature is on reserves and tatives of the D remote â€" norther gions. Even in there remain a where pack tra steamers charte means employve section of the c tion.

The districts are then divided into "subâ€"districts‘, varying in population from 600 to 800 in rural localities, and from 1,000 to 1,800 in urban. ~â€"The subdistrict is the territory allotted to a ‘‘census enumerator"‘, who conducts the house to house and farm to farm canvass, and who is the only census official with whom the public comes directly in contact. One object of the census being to determine Parliamenâ€" tary representation, the act directs that census districts shall correspond as nearly as possible to the federal constituencies for the time being, whilst the subdistricts are to be roughly the same as the polling subâ€"divisions. Some of the constituencies, however, are too large for one commissioner and are accordingly divided:;: departure is also necessary in a good many cases from the polling units Altogether the Census of 1941 will employ 249 comâ€" missioners and probably 16,000 to 17,â€" 000 enumerators. _ The commissioners areâ€" appointed by the Minister, and are forwarded fcers are paid ‘*Picece‘‘ poptuila Li All are ized by statute. Methods of Collection and Compilation The organization by which this farâ€" flung investigation is carried out and its results reduced to comprehensible nucleus exists in a small permanent and unable form is a large one. Its staff constituting one of the branches of the Bureau of Statistics. This branch maintains comnection between census and census, so that experience is continuous and cumulative, When a census impends, all plans are originâ€" ated by it, and the necessary expanâ€" sion of personnel is arranged for. The latter falls under two main headings, the field work or collection of the facts and the compilation and tabulation of the latter into census reports. In connection with these s« elaborate and searching serie: quiries the following points st clearly understood: (1) that : tion has been inserted. merely the information would be int but only because it has a beg basic social or economic cor and (2) that the answers give: individual are absolutely conf every employee of the Censu under oath and penalty aga; vealing any individual item, : Bureau Oof Statistics itself bei bidden to issue any siateme would lay bare any personal Though the name of each p taken down this is not for the of associating the individual w of the facts that are record merely as a check on the acci the enumeration â€" The census and last for statistical purpo: cannot be made the basis of an administrative action. Let it noted that census enumerators quired to use courtesy and tact lecting the information, though to answer a census question is ized by statute. country, a special schedule on this subâ€" ject has been devised for the present Census. Further, a detailed schedule on housing has been incorporated into the present Census in order to obtain full information regarding the kind of homes in which the Canadian people live; this schedule, however, is to be taken on a sample basis, in respect of every tenth home visited by the enuâ€" merator. The schedule on industrial and business concerns collects only the name, address and class of each; this is for the use of a subsequent detailed inquiry which will be conduc{*"d through correspondence by the Bureau, as in 1931,. The record of the blind and deafâ€"mutes is to facilitate the work of educational and other instituâ€" tions for these classes. The population in institutions will be enumerated in the regular way by means of the Popuâ€" lation schedule proper, but it is inâ€" tended that a special inquiry shall be handled direct from the Bureau with the heads in institutions in order that not merely the numbers of men, women and children committed to such instiâ€" tutions may be obtained, but also facts regarding the characteristics of the inâ€" mates, causes of commitment and other information which will furnish the basis for a complete analysis of problems incidental to social life, and act as a guide to the Provincial Govâ€" ernments and organizations engaged in social and welfare work. il Canacdia the Cens Indian De service fo in th Aeroplanes wil _ embr of plan is remote and In other sir inadian â€" Moi Census whi “) ba wor} inpani missior pa 11 i officer of the Bureau; ts are appointed and he commissioners, who and vouch for all the turns before the latter 0o Ottawa.

It reâ€" mains only to say that the whole has been planned with the utmost care, with the experience of other countries and of seven previous censuses of Canâ€" ada in view, and with special reference to the requirements> of the present hour and also to the necessity of not burdening the community with any inâ€" quiry that is not fully justified. The Census, therefore, merits the suppov! of each and every citizen as a patriotic duty. It is taken for the benefit of the community as a whole and therefore directly or indirectly of every member of the community. Never before has there been the like need for census information. Since the last Census the great depression and the subseâ€" quent recovery and now the war have left scarcely a branch of the national life untouched.. Especially is an apâ€" praisement of the national status neâ€" cessary at the present moment in view of the problems of postâ€"war reconstrucâ€" tion for which preparations must be made in advance. An appeal to the people is therefore made to assist in this great national undertaking by furâ€" nishing the information fully and acâ€" curately and thus helping to render the Census worthy of the Dominion and of the serious purposes which it has in view. | i The cards are then sorted and otherâ€" wise manipulated by machines which count and record various combinations of data as required, according to the perforations on the cards. For examâ€" ple, should it be desired to know the , number of, say, civil engineers of Canaâ€" dian citizenship between the ages of 21 and 50, in the province of Ontario, the _ machines will pick out and count the cards in a few operations The invenâ€" tion of these machines, of which the Bureau of Statistics has a large batâ€" tery, some being of its own invention and construction, has greatly increased the scope and accuracy of the inforâ€" mation derivable from the Census, at the same time that it has halved the cost. A record exists of over a million and a half classifications by one macâ€" hine in a single day. It is expected that from two to four weeks from June 2nd will suffice in normal localities for the completion of the field work. After the third or fourth month it should be possible to give out the first results for many cities, towns, counties, etc. As to when the absolutely final count by provinces for the entire Dominion will be availâ€" able, so many unforeseeable contingenâ€" ciles are possible that prophcy is danâ€" gerous, but it is expected that four or five months should enable a close apâ€" proximation to be made.

According to the National Salvage Office here, the following kinds of waste paper have as yet no salvage value:, waxed, paraffined, oilâ€"treated, greased, parchment, carbon, asphalt, tar, and wall papers.
