THE COMING CENSUS
Why and. How it is taken
Prepared by the Dominion Static-
tician with the Authority of the
Rt. Hon. the Minster o,F Trade
and Commerce,
On June 1st, 1924 the enumerators
started to take 'the census of the Dom-
inion, The 'census has been called
"the largest .single act of administra-
tion of the Government," in reference
partly to its physiciai extent—the cen-
sus organization covering every section
of the country' for a complex and
many-sided task—and also to the great
impottance of census results in the
general machinery of bbd Govern-
ment. /
The success of the census depends'
largely upon the co-operation of the
people, Without general appreciation
of the ends in view, end without the
cordial assistance of individual citi-
zens towards those ends, a good census
will be impossible. A brief description
of the gcope, methods and purposes of
the census and of its place in statis-
tical and general adnnissjon will there-
fore be of interest and utility at the
present moment,
HISTORICAL.
Census -taking dates front the dawn
of civilization. Moses numbered the
children of Israel in the fifteenth cen-
tury, B. C. But statistical investiga-
tions were known many centuries ear-
lier, in Babylonia (4,000 'B. 'C.) in
China (3,000 B. C.,) in Egypt (2,500
B. C.) A census 'taken by ,King David
in 1017 B. C. achieved evil notoriety
in history from the Divine wrath
which it provoked and,which was cit-
ed .for many generations against the
spirit of inquiry, The,. Census was one
of the institutions founded by the
great law -giver Solon of Athens in the
sixth century, B. C. The Romans were
assiduous census -takers, both under
the Republic and the Empire; Julius
Caesar reformed the census among
other things, The Brevarf of Charl-
emagne (A. D. 1086) are celebrated
mediaeval censuses. Later, the census
disappeared from Europe.
It may not be generally known that
the credit of taking the first census of
modern times belongs to Canada. The
year was 1666; the census was one of
the Colony of New France. The re-
sults are to be seen in a document of
154 pages in the Archives of Parisi
of which a transcript is in Ottawa.
Altogether this census recorded'3,215
souls. This initial Canadian 'Census
was repeated several tines during the,
French regime, after which a series
of less elaborate investigations by suc-
cessife Colonial Governors took its
place, The first legislation on the
subject was an Act of the United
Provinces, dated 1347. Under it a
census of Upper and Lower Canada
was taken in 1351 and again in 1861.
Censuses of Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick were, taken in the sante
years. At Confederation the British
North American Act specially mention-
ed "the census and statistics" as falling
within Dominion as distinguished from • Finance - Report may be read in
Provincial jurisdiction: The first Do- another. column,
15181011 Census Act was passed in 1870, The question of the roads at the
and the first census was taken thele- outlets of the town was brought out
and Reeve Miller stated that Mr, Win.
Steep was the overseer appointed to
be under the Co. Engineer. .
The question of the disappearance
of the Night Watchman's clock was
taken .up and on Motion of Reeve Mil-
ler and Councillor 'Cooper a reward
of $5.00 will be offered for the re-
covery or to the conviction of the
person who stole it.
Theposition of .Assessor 15 to be
,advertised and the salary is to be$150.
The Council will meet on the 20th
to make appointment,'
Council' adjourned.

Blyth, June 5 — The opening of the
Contmtinity Memorial Hall, which took
place tlais afternoon, was a grand suc-
cess, as It well deserved to be, as all
those wildsaw it recognized it as the
finest hail of its kind outside of the
cities. 'There were people here today
from all the surrounding towns, there
being,over 1,500 in the building. A
great. crowd had to be turned away,
Long before the doors were open this
afternoon there was an immense -crowd
in front of the building,
Rev: W, B, I•lawklns acted as chair-
man and introduced the speakers.
Committee Reports.
Cemetery—Your cemetery commit-
tee recommends that the work of re-
placing the board fence on the North
end of the cemetery lot be completed
as passed by the 1920 Council, and the
necessary 30 rod of wire fencing be
secured and erected. That the office
and storeroom be` repainted and the
small out -building reshingled. That
a few loads of gravel be secured
to fix up the stain driveway, also a
load or two of good top dressing for
trimming up the graves.
Street — Your committee wishes to
submit the following report. Having
completed Tutting on of tarvia, except-
ing j/ tank reserved for rough spots.
We recommend that a mail be employ-
ed to clean streets once or twice a
week. That having graded that por-
tion of street south of railroad and
north of Mustard's coal office, we un-
load two or three cars of cinders which
will be provided free of churge, That
all grass be cut on streets and that
there be a light placed at the north end
of Queen street and' also one between
North and Erie on Rattenbury street,
also that we removed 116 loads of
ashes; 73 loads paid for and 43 yet to
be paid. •
Property—Flower beds cleaned up
and flowers plan't,ed at Hall park; also
earth secured to fill up some low spots,
lion. Manning Doherty, minister of
agriculture, give an eloquent address,
expressing his great appreciation at
being here on this occasion. He con-
gratulated the citizens for tneir zeal in
building such al beautiful edifice.
He said that it was a great honor to
the citizens of this part of the province
and that they had taken the right spirit
in building the hall, which was fat
better than a monument of stone or
brdss, but nothing that can ever be
done can repay the loss of those 'who
fought and won in the great war, Ile
contended that the standard of makifng
money was wrong and people should
strive to do deeds of mercy. As long
as the Empire showed such a reverence
for the fallen heroes, as shown re-
cently in London at the burial of an
'unknown soldier in Westminster Abbey
there was no danger of theempire
filing.
Mr, Doherty spoke his appreciation
of the erection of memorial halls ,as
they had a tendency to change the feel-
ing of the community and draw them
closer together. He contended it was
the duty of all to see that the hall ser-
ved its purpose in the future.
The unveiling of th beautiful memor-
ial tablet, which was constructed by
Rev. G. Telford, who also had the hon-
or of unveiling it, in his address slated
that considerable of the credit was due
to A. Elliott, who had assisted in mak-
ing the tablet.
The "Last Post" was sounded by Mr.
S. H. Gidley,
Rev. Capt. McKegney of Clinton who
had been overseas delivered a splendid
address, confirming the building of the
hall to what God would have desired as
it was of service to lite living as well as
to the dead. It would united the com-
munity spirit as it was in the army.
Major hart, grand master of the
Orange Lodge, was also delighted to, be
present. He referred to the beautiful
tablet 'and said that the work was per-
fect, '
The evening sang service was also
largely' attended and several hundred
turned away. The collection amounted
to nearly $300.

1, 1921, is therefore the sixth compre-
hensive decennial census to be taken
since Confederation,
OBJECTS AND USES OF THE
CENSUS
Within the census of ancient tines
we would today have little. sympathy.
Originally the Census was no mote
than a means of mustering menfor
foreign wars and of enabling kings
and oligarchies to tax their subjects,
So far are we removed from this con-
ception that it is now expressly for-
bidden to use census data 'for any
such purposes.
In 'Canada the fundamental "raison
dietre" of the census is to determine
the representation in our federal Parl-
iament. As is•• well known, the Brit-
ish North America Act gave the Pro-
vince of Quebec a fixed number of
seats (sixty-five) itt ' the Dominion
House of Commons. The number as
