Census Notes.

Counting ahont seventy-tive millions of people Is a hig job, and would have heen quite a job for Mesers. Newell and White, but the fact that it was undertaken by no less thaa 32,000 enumerators, not to mention several thousand supervisors, special agents and clerks, arade the individual burden less weighty than would otherwise be the case.

If reports are creditable some of the

census takers experienced # good deal uf trouble In their efforts to count noses and oblain facts considered neces- sary by Uncle Sam. So far as known here Messrs. Newell and White, with

few exceptions, found courteous treatment and prompt aaswers to ques- tions. It isa favorite pastime fur citi- zens to speculate oa the probable in- crease of population over the count len years ago and estimates are given from 00 per cent. upward. The weather was excellent for the business, both for the taker and the token. Every- thing has been iu accord-the ideal June master's knife when pruning? Does the day, the courteous greeting of the house- wife, even in the midst of her washing, and the gentle thanks of the census man. In a neighboring town it is reported a woman gut angry when Uncle Sam's man called and stoutly refused to give lier age. In another house one of the men had jotted down a family of twelve persons, and when he had nearly finished the little girl came home from hool and told the enumeraby that four of her brothers and sisters he had down were dead a long time, and the poor enumerator knocked off work then and there, and went home and spent a whole evening in scratching the names of the dead people off his list. Que of the in- quisitive meu on going the rounds said that they were uot obliged to answer any of the questions themselves, and at times It is not very pleasant to call on a spinster, who, ia all probability, has weathered forty or fifty summers, and ask her age, and if she is black or white. The man with the book would rather giveher the benefit of the doubt and jut ber down as twenty years, hut the rules of the twelfth census are rigid and all listed questions were asked.

"' I'ress bravely on and reach the goal, And gain the prize and wear the crown. Faint not, for to the steadfast soul Come wealth and honor and renown. To thine owir'self be true and keep Thy mind from stoth, thy heart from soll. Press on, and thou shalt surely reap A heavenly harvest for thy toil."

In awarding diplomas Mr. Wyckoff gave the graduates some wholesome and timely advice, reminding them that their work had but just begun, and leaving the impression upon them that the future depended largely upon themselves. He aleo called the attention of parents to an absolutely necessary factor in education -the hearty and persistent co-operation of the parents. He urged them to vieit the schools and watch the progress of the pupils, thus encouraging them and the instructors as well. It is hoped that the earnest words of the school commit- tee will be heeded,
