CENSUS OF TASMANIA, 1901. GENERAL REPORT.

Registrar-General's Office, Hobart, 12th September, 1902.

TO THE HONOURABLE THE CHIEF SECRETARY.

SIR,

After an interval of nearly ten years from the taking of the previous Census in Tasmania, the Ninth Census was taken simultaneously with the other States of the Commonwealth of Australia and with New Zealand, on the night of Sunday, the 31st March, 1901.

According to the rule hitherto adopted by the Statisticians of Australasia for fixing the date, viz., the first Sunday following the first day of April, it would have been necessary to take the last Census on the 7th April, 1901. This would have been Easter Sunday. The Conference of Australasian Statisticians, held in Sydney on the 25th January, 1900, to arrange for the collection and compilation of the Census of 1901 upon a uniform principle, was of opinion that it would be unwise to adopt that date, owing to the great disturbance of population which always occurs at Easter time. For this and other important reasons the various Parliaments of the States of Australia and of New Zealand finally fixed upon the Sunday night preceding Easter Sunday, viz., 31st March, 1901. At this time it was intimated that the Census of the United Kingdom would be fixed for the same day, and the desire to be in unison with the Mother Country was the main reason why the Census in Australasia was fixed before, rather than after, the Easter time.

In Tasmania the enumeration of people and dwellings, and the particulars agreed upon by the adoption of the "Model Householder's Schedule," were so far successfully carried out or obtained that the Superintendent of the Census was enabled to publish the general results concerning population, dwellings, and distribution in theGazetteof 23rd April, 1901, that is within about three weeks of the Census day. More extended summaries were published from time to time, and early in the month of January, 1902, the following important summaries were published in "Population" (Part V.) of the "Statistics of the Colony" for the year 1900, viz. :—

The compilation of the whole of the detailed Census Tables under the various categories were satisfactorily completed in manuscript by the 22nd October, 1901 ; that is within seven months of the date fixed for the taking of the Census. In consequence, however, of more than ordinary pressure of work being imposed upon the Government Printer, the printing of the various Parts has been very much delayed. Parts have now been printed and published, and the remaining Parts are so well in hand that I am enabled to furnish you with the usual necessary analyses and observations in the form of a General Report, which, as in former Censuses, serves as an introduction to the completed Tabular Parts.

SECTION I.—PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS.

HISTORY OF CENSUS-TAKING IN TASMANIA.

An account of the Ninth Census of Tasmania, taken on the night of the 31st March, 1901, simultaneously with nearly all other portions of the British Empire, would be incomplete without glancing at the history of previous attempts at enumeration of the people.

Although official estimates of the population were prepared from time to time after the first settlement was established in the Island on Monday, the 12th day of September, 1803, it was not until the 27th September, 1841, that the first proper Census of the population was undertaken. Since that time eight Censuses have been taken at intervals of from 3 to 11 years, or a mean interval of nearly 7 years between the various Censuses.

The earlier Censuses were taken more frequently, the average interval being only about 5½ years. The latter Censuses (1881, 1891, and 1901) were taken after longer intervals ; the interval between the Sixth and Seventh being 11 years ; between the Seventh and Eighth and Eighth and Ninth, nearly 10 years respectively, thus :—

Thus it would appear the first proper Census of Tasmania was not undertaken until nearly 38 years after the date of its first settlement. This, however, is not to be wondered at when we consider that from the middle ages up to about this time violent prejudices against the enumeration of the people prevailed in nearly all the countries of the world.

HISTORY OF EARLY MODERN CENSUS-TAKING IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

Undoubtedly it is due to the unreasoning prejudices referred to in a previous chapter that no attempt was made to take a proper Census of Great Britain until as late as the year 1753. The Bill even then introduced was defeated in the House of Lords ; and this defeat may be taken as a proof of the strong surviving prejudice against an enumeration of the people. This is clearly manifested in the speech of Mr. Mathew Ridley, Member for Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in which he stated, among other objections, that he knew by letters that "the people looked on the proposal as ominous, and feared lest public misfortune or an epidemical distemper should follow the numbering." Nearly half a century passed away before another attempt was made (March, 10, 1801), which, however, proved successful. But we learn that this first attempt was far from perfect as an enumeration. The Census taken in Ireland for the first time, in 1812, is stated to have been a complete failure ; and the same authority states that the first successfulnominalCensus taken in the United Kingdom was that of Ireland in the year 1821, that is, only 20 years earlier than the firstnominalCensus taken in Tasmania. The earliest modern regular Censuses known, in which the old province of Quebec takes first place of honour, are :—

Province of Quebec1665.
Sweden1751.
Norway1769.
United States of America1790.
Great Britain1801.
France1801.

Happily the prejudices so strongly opposed to Census-taking up to the close of the eighteenth century have now died away almost entirely, and there is now no civilised country which does not avail itself of the information which can alone be obtained by a Census, and which is so essential to the good guidance of all matters relating to the political, social, and material interests of the people.

INITIAL PREPARATIONS FOR CENSUS OF 1901.

Census Conference held in Sydney.

The first important step to arrange for the collection and compilation of the Census of 1901 upon a uniform principle in Australasia, was that taken by the Premiers of the Seven Colonies of Australasia at a meeting held by them in Sydney on the 25th January, 1900. At this meeting the Premiers decided that a Conference of Statisticians, representing the Colonies of Australia and New Zealand, should, at an early day, be called together in Sydney for the purpose of making arrangements for the taking of a Census in each Colony during the year 1901. Accordingly, by the intervention of the Honourable Sir W. J. Lyne, K.C.M.G., Premier and Colonial Treasurer of New South Wales, a Conference of Statisticians representing each Colony was held in Sydney on 26th February, 1900, which continued its sittings to the 3rd of March, 1900.

The members of the Conference held, in all, six sittings.

The representatives of the various colonies taking part in the Conference were.—Mr. T. A. Coghlan, F.S.S, representing New South Wales ; Mr. von Dadelzen, New Zealand ; Mr. J. J. Fenton, Victoria ; Mr. M. A. C. Fraser, Western Australia ; Mr. J. Hughes, Queensland ; Mr. L. Sholl, South Australia ; and Mr. R. M. Johnston, F.S.S., Tasmania. Mr. Coghlan was unanimously chosen as Chairman of the Conference.

Mr. H. A. Smith, an officer of the Statistician's Department, New South Wales, was appointed Secretary, and Mr. W. Ridley, Deputy Registrar-General of New South Wales, by invitation, attended the Conference as advising Member.

In order to facilitate the business of the Conference three sub-committees were appointed. To the first sub-committee was entrusted the task of drawing up a uniform householder's schedule, to the second the revision of the classification of occupations, and to the third was given the duty of drawing up the reasons which led the Conference to recommend the fixing of the particular day for taking the Census.

The scope and limits of the subjects of enquiry was the first point to be determined, and after full discussion the Conference was of opinion that there should be only one addition to the inquiries made at the Census of 1891, viz., where the person enumerated was not born in the Colony he should be asked the length of time he has resided therein.

There were several suggestions for increasing the number of questions to be asked of the people, but the majority of the members of the Conference were of opinion that it would be unwise to extend the inquiries beyond the class of subjects usually prescribed in countries where the Census is taken upon schedules. If, as in some countries, the plan were adopted of appointing enumerators whose business it would be to make personal inquiries from house to house, and fill up their books from the particulars thus obtained, much more elaborate inquiries might be ventured upon.

In order to ensure uniformity, both in making inquiries at the Census and in presenting the results arrived at, the Conference agreed to adopt the form of a "Model Schedule," based upon certain resolutions already agreed upon. The members of the Conference pledged themselves, as far as it may be in their power, to adhere to these resolutions, as they were deeply impressed with the consideration that as six of the Colonies were about to enter upon a federation, the necessity of uniformity in the collection and presentation of all matters affecting finance and electoral representation was of vital importance.

In view of the difficulties which arose at some previous enumerations, owing to the model schedule being attached to the Census Act, the Conference unanimously resolved to recommend that the heads of inquiry only, and not the Census schedule, be embodied in the Census Act in those Colonies where such an Act is necessary.

The Conference decided again to adopt, with slight modification of one or two Sub-Groups, the Classification of Occupations drawn up for the Census Conference of 1891 by the accomplished Statistician of New South Wales (Mr. T. A. Coghlan) and myself.

The resolutions of the Conference drawn up and adopted number 22 in all. These were embodied in their final report, of which the following is an abstract :—

RESOLUTIONS OF THE CONFERENCE.

1.

That as the Sunday next following the 1st April, 1901, is Easter Sunday, and large numbers of persons are away from home on that day, the Census be taken as for another day.

Subjects of Inquiry.

2.

That the subjects respecting which it is desired that inquiry be made at the Census be named in "The Census Act," but that the Schedule containing those inquiries be not attached thereto.

3.

That the subjects for inquiry be as follow :—Name, Sex, Birthplace, Age, Religion, Occupation, Conjugal Condition, Education, Sickness and Infirmity, Materials of Houses, Number of Rooms, Length of Residence in the Colony.

4.

That the Return of Religion be not compulsory, and that it be optional to insert the word "object" instead, by any one having an objection to stating his religious belief.

5.

That the inquiry be made as to whether the person returned is an employer, a worker on his own account, or an employee, or whether he is unemployed.

6.

That with reference to Conjugal Condition, it be optional with each Colony to make inquiry as to the year of marriage, and the total number of children (living and dead) born to each couple.

7.

That with reference to Education, an inquiry be made as to those able to read and write, able to read only and not write, and unable to read ; also, as to those who may be graduates of any University, together with the designations of their respective degrees, and of the Universities at which such degrees were conferred.

8.

That with reference to Sickness and Infirmity, an inquiry be made as to the persons laid up or unable to pursue their usual occupation on account of illness or the effects of an accident, or who may be deaf and dumb, or blind.

9.

That in the Return of Houses, those inhabited, uninhabited, and in course of erection, be separately distinguished.

10.

That the Householder's Schedule should specify that persons traveling or out at work during the night of the Census (and not elsewhere returned), and who return home on the day after the Census, are to be included as if they were present in the house on the night of the Census.

11.

That in accordance with the foregoing resolutions, the Householder's Schedule drawn up by this Conference be the basis of the inquiries to be made under "The Census Act."

Compilation.

12.

That, as far as possible, the Chinese, Pacific Islanders, and other coloured races, as well as the Aborigines (including half-castes), be tabulated with the general population under every head of inquiry, and separate tables be prepared, so that it may be possible to separate them therefrom, as may be desired.

13.

That in working out proportions under any head of inquiry to show the ratio of the numbers in each line to the total, the items in the line for the unspecified be altogether excluded from the computation.

14.

That persons whose birthplace is stated to be "Australia," if under 12 years of age, be tabulated as born in the Colony to which the Census relates, and if 12 years of age or over in the column for "Australia undefined."

15.

That children respecting whom the return of religion is unspecified be tabulated as of the religion of their parents, if the father and mother are stated to be of the same religion ; or if the religion of only one parent is specified, as of the religion of that parent ; but that if the parents are of different denominations, no assumption be made as to the religion of the children, who are to be classed as unspecified.

16.

That the ages of the people of either sex be tabulated in single ages up to 21, then in quinquennial periods of age up to 85, and after that in single ages ; also, that a table be prepared showing the numbers of either sex in the whole population at each year of age.

17.

(A) That in tabulating the Occupations of the people, the numbers of either sex under 5 years of age ; between 5 and 15 ; 15 and 20 ; 20 and 25 ; 25 and 45 ; 45 and 65 ; and over 65 be distinguished.

(B) That the Occupations be tabulated according to the system of classification adopted by this Conference ; also, that subsidiary tables be compiled showing :—

(1) The ordinary Occupations of the unemployed of either sex, a person to be considered as unemployed it out of work for more than a week prior to the Census.

(2) Employers of labour and persons in business for themselves, relatives assisting, and wage-earners ; no person to be considered as belonging to one of the foregoing divisions who is not actually employed.

(3) The ordinary or former occupations of inmates of either sex of (a) hospitals, (b) benevolent asylums, (c) hospitals for the insane, (d) other charitable institutions, (e) gaols and penal establishments.

(c) That in the main tabulation, in the case of a person returned as following more than one occupation, he be tabulated, as a rule, under the head of the first mentioned,—the exception being a Government officer following some other calling,—as, for instance, "deputy-registrar and storekeeper," in which case he is to be classed as a storekeeper ; also, a person residing where one of his occupations is carried on which would warrant its being considered as the more important, as, for instance, "farmer and publican," living at the public-house, is to be classed as a publican, although that calling may be stated second ; also, that a subsidiary table be prepared showing the persons who follow two or more occupations.

18.

(A) That in the table of Education the people be grouped in single ages up to 21 years, and after that in quinquennial periods to 85 years of age ; those of either sex able to read and write, able to read only, and unable to read, being distinguished.

(B) That no child under 3 years of age be set down as able to read, and no child under 5 years of age as able to write ; also, that no person be set down as illiterate who can read or write any foreign language.

(C) That a table also be prepared showing the degree of primary instruction possessed by children between 5 and 15 years of age of each religious denomination ; and

(D) That a further table be prepared in age groups showing the education of persons born in the Colony (exclusive of aborigines).

19.

(A) That in the tables of Conjugal Condition the people be grouped in single ages from 14 to 21 years of age, those of either sex never married, married, widowed, or divorced, being distinguished ; that Chinese be set down as never married unless they have or have had wives in Australasia.

(B) That a table he prepared showing the relative ages of husbands and wives ; also the number of wives whose husbands were absent, and of husbands whose wives were absent, on the Census night.

20.

That a table be prepared showing the number of private families with domestic servants, distinguishing families with one servant, two servants, three, four, five, over five and under ten, ten and over ; and also similar particulars in respect of hotels, boarding-houses, &c.

21.

That tables be prepared showing the numbers of either sex suffering from each description of sickness or infirmity, grouped in single years of age up to 21, and afterwards in quinquennial periods up to 85 years of age ; that tables be also prepared showing the occupations of those suffering from each description of illness.

22.

That in the case of houses, public offices, banks, stores, &c., in which a person or family resides in order to take care of the premises, the number of rooms occupied by such person or family is to be given, and not the whole number in the building. Where a shop is attached to a dwelling the former is not to be considered a room without someone sleeps therein.

LOCAL PREPARATIONS FOR TAKING THE CENSUS ON THE NIGHT OF SUNDAY, 31ST MARCH, 1901.

The Census Act.

The Tasmanian Census of 1901 was taken under the provisions of a special enactment, "The Census Act, 1901," assented to on 24th August, 1900, which appointed the day upon which the enumeration was to be made, and gave the Superintendent of the Census (Government Statistician of the Colony) the authority necessary to carry out the various objects of the Census. The Act also gave authority for the appointment of the necessary officers.

Among other necessary provisions the Act followed closely upon those of the previous Census, making an exception in regard to religious belief, declaring it optional on the part of any person to state the nature of the faith, if any, professed by him ; answers to all other inquiries were made compulsory.

Means Adopted to Enlist beforehand the Interest and Co-operation of the Press and the People.

Prior to the taking of the Census of 1891 I felt that the success of the Census depended in a large measure upon the intelligent interest and willing co-operation of the people generally. To enlist their interest I prepared a small p&hlet, giving a popular account of "The Object and Utility of a Modern Census." With the approval of the Government, these observations, three months prior to the Census day, were printed in p&hlet form, and, together with a circular inviting the co-operation of the Director of Education, the School Boards, School Teachers, and the local Press, were widely distributed throughout the Colony. By such means, and by the hearty co-operation of the School Teachers and the local Press, the minds of the people generally were awakened and favourably interested. The same course was followed by me on the occasion of the taking the last Census, with like favourable results.

The following extracts, bearing upon the utility, scope, and other important matters relating to census-taking, are taken from the p&hlet referred to, as they serve as an appropriate introduction to the tabular analyses contained in subsequent chapters of this report :—

"THE COMING CENSUS OF AUSTRALASIA, FIXED FOR THE NIGHT OF 31ST MARCH, 1901.

"The Object and Utility of a Modern Census.

"Although the object and utility of a modern Census are now so well understood by all thoughtful persons, it cannot be overlooked that, among the people generally, there still exists a large amount of misconception which operates seriously in marring the accuracy of results which can alone be obtained by theintelligent co-operation of every person in the community.

"The next great national 'stock-taking,' fixed for the night of Sunday, 31st March, 1901, for all the States of the Commonwealth of Australia, and for New Zealand, is looked forward to with the most eager interest by all thoughtful persons. Nor is this to be wondered at. The vital, material, and social well-being of a nation depends in a larger degree than is ordinarily realised upon the accuracy of its knowledge concerning the number, character, and condition of its people. It is the greatmeasuring-rodfor determining and making timely provision for the supply of all material satisfactions, and for guiding us more securely in determining growing tendencies—whether for good or evil—thereby enabling us to make accurate forecasts, and to make timely and intelligent provision for checking the evil and fostering the good. The objects of a modern Census are altogether different from those of the ancients. The Census of David, recorded in the 24th chapter of the Second Book of Samuel, was instigated purely by the spirit of aggressive warfare or conquest ; and, accordingly, its scope was confined to the number of'valiant men who drew the sword.'The only warfare which the modern Census enumeration contemplates is confined to the peaceful conflicts of industry and commerce, and the discovery, subjugation, and control of the unknown or adverse forces of nature.

"Instead of the mere enumeration ofvaliant men who drew the sword,the modern Census seeks rather to ascertain the number of its'bread-winners,'and the number of young, aged, and helpless

dependants, in order to enable wiser provisions to be made for rendering the mutual exchange of services of the former more effective, and for making the training or care of the latter more in accord with the higher ideals of modern civilised life.

"But a Census enumeration does more than photograph the facts at the moment of Census-taking. It enables comparisons to be made with former periods, and from these we are enabled to determine many useful laws relating to the direction and rates of progression of all important movements and tendencies.

"Thus serious faminesin modern times, as compared with ancient times, are mainly averted, or their severity mitigated by statistical knowledge largely based upon the facts primarily ascertained by the Census. The lands devoted to agriculture and pastoral purposes year by year, if not wisely extended in harmony with the ascertained rate of the growth of population and its growing needs, would surely produce famine or misdirected and wasted labour, were it not that those whose interest it is to make provision are guided by statistical knowledge, which could only be rendered possible by periodic Census-taking. The termper headof the Statistician, though a meaningless symbol or phrase to the thoughtless or to the ignorant, is, to the statesman, the life insurance actuary, the director of education, the commercialentrepreneur, the sanitary adviser, the social economist—analagous to the never-failing 'barometer' or 'sounding-lead'— whereby the course of events is instantly disclosed ; thus making it possible to aid or counteract tendencies favourable or unfavourable, so far as such may be within human power.

"From what has been stated it is made sufficiently manifest that the great object of a Census is to gather such information as will be of material service in throwing light upon the more important social and economic questions, thereby making it possible to guide the affairs of the social organisation with greater intelligence and security as regards social and material well-being.

"Scope of a Census.

"The value of information gained by means of a Census primarily depends upon the intelligence, honesty, and disposition of the averagehouseholder.If we ask too many complicated questions we may put too great a strain upon average intelligence or comprehension, and the subsequent pretentious tabulation of the Statistician would be worthless or deceptive. If we arbitrarily seek to invade the privacy of the individual as regards means or income, morals, or even religious belief, we may certainly expect passive or indignant opposition, or—what is worse—we may receive from many, dishonest replies. The practical Statistician who has had experience in Census-taking would avoid failure due to such causes by strictly limiting the number of inquiries to such subjects as will not unnecessarily invade the privacy of the individual, and not place a greater strain than can be safely borne by the intelligence and honesty of thepoorest householder.

"There is little or no value in the pretentious tabular results of countries where the scope of Census inquiries have been framed with too little regard for such important considerations.

"The Weak Link of the Census.

"The strength of a chain is determined by itsweakest link, and the weakest link in Census-taking is thepoorly-educated householder. Many householders are unable to read and write, while a still larger number, from carelessness, ignorance, or lack of interest, fail to comprehend what is required of them in the filling up of the several columns of thehouseholder's schedule.The necessary notes of instruction at head of each column, &lified by more comprehensive notes of guidance and model forms of entry on the back of each schedule, appal and confuse many who are unaccustomed to interpretations of this nature.

"How can these difficulties be lessened, if not altogether overcome? Perhaps the most successful plan for securing and ifitensifying the interest of all persons in regard to the Census would be to secure the interests ofchildren at schoolsby the co-operation of School Boards, and especially by that of the localschoolmasterandschoolmistress.Let the Government call upon each Chief Superintendent of Census to prepare amodel lecturetteon the objects of the Census, and having done so, let there be issued—as on the occasion of the last Census in the year 1891—a printed copy of the lecturette and a blankhouseholder's schedule,accompanied by a courteously written circular addressed to thehead teachers of every school in the land,inviting their cordial co-operation by asking them to fix a special day for aCensus Lessonfor the children, accompanied by black-board illustrations as to the manner in which the householder's schedule should be filled up. If this were done, it is certain that it would be productive of the very best results. The lesson of the children would certainly take strong hold of the interest of parents, and there is not a humble home throughout the land where the lesson of the children would fail to penetrate, and where the less favourably educated parents would not fail to become, for the time being, the proud pupils of their own more favourably educated children. The Press—the great educator—may do much to forward this desirable idea in the interests of the public weal.

"Thus it appears the first proper Census of the Island was not undertaken until nearly 38 years after the date of its first settlement. This, however, is not to be wondered at when we consider that from the Middle Ages up to this time violent prejudices against the enumeration of the people prevailed in nearly all the countries of the world."

PREPARATORY WORK OF THE CENTRAL OFFICE OF THE CENSUS.

The success of a Census enumeration depends, in a large measure, upon the care taken by the Chief Superintendent of the Census in having the whole plan of operations thoroughly worked out in every detail at least nine months prior to the Census-day. This precaution is absolutely necessary when we consider the vast amount of preliminary work which must be completed not less than two

months prior to the actual distribution of Householder's Schedules throughout the whole Colony. Indeed, in populous countries the time required for such preliminary work may engage the close attention of a permanent staff during the whole time of an intercensal period.

The extensive character of this preliminary work, even in a small Colony like Tasmania, may be realised by a brief enumeration of the various forms, circulars, cards, books of compilation and instruction, devised, printed, and distributed in connection with the work of the last Census, in respect of a population of 172,475 persons, scattered over an area of 26,215 square miles.

It is of much importance to those who may have to undertake the work of a future Census to describe more particularly the nature of this work which must be completed long before the Census-day, as in the following summary :—

  1. Devising form and printing Householder's Schedules in sufficient number to distribute a copy to every family or household, including a marginal reserve of about 20 per cent. to cover the uncertainties of estimates as regards new or abnormally increasing districts. About 50,000 Schedules were printed and distributed at the last Census among 390 Sub-Enumerators. The printing alone of these Schedules—on both sides-would form an eight-inch ribbon of printed matter, or nearly 22 miles in length, or cover an area of nearly 1.8 acres.

  2. Preparing three sets of charts ; scale, 1 inch to the mile. A complete set for Central Office, one set divided among the Chief Enumerators of Census Districts, and one set divided and pasted upon the inside cover of each Sub-Enumerator's compilation book. All these charts were carefully hand-coloured, showing the numerous concatenations formed by the intersection of each Electoral, Municipal, Registration, Road Trust, City, and Town boundary. Each mesh or concatenation so formed was distinguished by a particular number, and being the ultimate "area-unit," it formed the so-called locality "Census Sub-division." In addition, each of the independent district boundaries, such as Electoral, Municipal, Registration, &c., were characterised by a distinctive boundary colour. As each of these larger divisions have their areas wholly made up of "area-units" or "Census Sub-divisions," it is a simple matter to compile particulars of the larger divisions from the catalogued "area-units" of which they are severally composed.

  3. 3. Devising, classifying, and printing books of :—

    1. Instructions for the special guidance of Enumerators of Districts.

    2. Instructions for the special guidance of Sub-Enumerators.

    3. Instructions for the special guidance of Tabulators.

    4. Instructions as to the mode of-entering particulars in Sub-Enumerator's Compilation Book.

  4. Printing about 205,000 cards (Tabulating Cards) specially devised for facilitating, and ensuring greater accuracy in the extensive and intricate work of Tabulation.

  5. Printing and distributing a large number of necessary circulars to Enumerators and Sub-Enumerators in connection with particular stages of the work.

  6. Selecting and appointing Census Staff, organizing and carefully drilling them in their various duties, especially as regards the exact limits of their respective district boundaries throughout the country.

  7. Arousing the interest of the people, and invoking their aid in making the work of the Census a success, by means of advertisements, p&hlets, and especially by enlisting the kindly good-will and co-operation of the Press and of the Teachers of Colleges and Elementary Schools.

The details given in the foregoing list give some idea of the large amount of work involved in the preliminary preparations for Census-taking, and necessitates, long prior to the Census-day, the careful study and rehearsal of countless minutiae, the oversight of any one of the which might destroy the value of the whole work of the Census.

Work of Enumeration.

The actual work of Enumeration, and the methods and precautions taken to secure completeness and accuracy, are usually mixed up in the body of the larger number of introductory reports on such matters. In this, as in my Report on the last Census, I have in a large measure eliminated the minutiae which refer to the methods and precautions taken to secure completeness and accuracy, in order to impress more clearly upon the mind the extent and character of the actual work of Enumeration. The minute details of methods to secure accuracy and completeness can better be studied apart in appendices as embodied towards the end of this Report.

The Area to be Covered.—

In the first place it must be borne in mind that each Sub-Enumerator of a Sub-District mustpersonallyvisit every dwelling or resting-place for the night of every living person in the Colony at leasttwice ;the first visit for the purpose of distributing the householder's schedules ; the second, or more, visits devoted to the collection, examination, and if necessary the correction of schedules, and in a large number of cases, to writing out the whole of the answers to queries, in cases where the responsible person has from any cause failed to do so. The last visitation, therefore, involved the collection, examination, and correction of 36,470

schedules gathered from the same number of dwellings or resting-places, scattered over 26,215 square miles, within the space of about three days in most cases. The two visits alone, therefore, cover an area of 52,430 square miles, and to accomplish this in so short a space of time is the problem to be worked out by the Superintendent of the Census. The area which one person could cover in about the time referred to depends upon two factors :—

  1. The density of population.

  2. The distance which one person could cover per day, in country districts, either on foot or on horseback.

The greater the density of population enables the Collector to cover a larger population in a given time, but the work involved lessens his power to cover a large distance in traveling : and conversely, the smaller the density of population in a district enables the Collector to cover a larger distance in traveling. Hence it is manifest that in mapping out the work of Sub-Enumerators the size of their respective districts should, in a measure, be determined inversely in relation to the greater or lesser density of population.

By estimates based upon such considerations, aided by the local topographical knowledge of the Chief Enumerator of each Electoral District in the Colony, it was determined that the 26,207 square miles of Rural Districts could be covered by 351 Sub-Enumerators : thus on the average giving 74.66 square miles, 80.72 dwellings, and 370 persons to each Sub Enumerator. The Urban Districts (Hobart and Launceston) were likewise determined, and arrangements made provided that the work might be efficiently carried out by 39 Sub-Enumerators : thus giving an average of 19 square miles, 209 dwellings, and 1094 persons to each Sub-Enumerator.

The following summary shows in all respects the appointment of work of Enumerators for the principal divisions of the Colony forming the larger Census Districts, which, as in former Censuses, for the most part coincide with Electoral District :—

Thus upon the whole the actual work of the Census connected with Enumeration was carried out successfully by a staff of 390 Sub-Enumerators, being 1 to every 67.21 square miles ; 1 to every 93.5 dwellings ; or 1 to every 442 of the population.

Cost of Enumeration.

The total cost of the Census of 1901 was £3767, including all expenses connected with Enumeration, Tabulation, Furniture and Equipment, and General expenses, as follows :—

Amount.Per Sq. Mile.Per Head.
£s.d.s.d.
Enumeration1,8881502.62
Tabulation and other expenses1,8791502.62
Total3,76721005.24

The cost of Enumeration is mainly determined by the work involved :—

  1. In traveling from dwelling to dwelling throughout each particular district.

  2. On the number of the population recorded on the householder's schedule.

In sparsely populated districts the greater proportion of the time and expense of the Enumerator is absorbed in traveling from dwelling to dwelling, the proportion in each district varying with the density of population—increasing relatively with sparsity, and decreasing relatively with density. The relativecost per head, on the other hand, progresses inversely to absolute cost, and to relative costper square mile.Hence it follows that as a population increase in density the cost per head becomes less and less ; while the absolute cost and cost per square mile really increases with the density, although at a differently proportionate rate. Thus it happens that the more densely populated Urban Districts of Tasmania (Hobart and Launceston) in 1901 only show a cost of 0.98d.per headfor Enumeration, while the Rural Districts cost 3.17d.per head.Reckoning by area, however, reverses this order : the cost of Enumeration in Rural Districts being only 1s. 3d. per square mile, while the cost in Urban Districts is as high as £23 11s. 8d. per square mile. The cost of Enumeration of a progressive place, district, or country, should show, under similar conditions, an absolute increase at each succeeding census, and relatively, the cost per square mile should progress inversely to cost per head ; the former with an increasing tendency, and the latter with a decreasing one.

The following is a comparative statement of the absolute and relative cost of Enumeration in Tasmania for the last four Censuses :—

Cost of Enumeration.
Census.Amount.Per Sq. Mile.Per Head.Density per Square Mile.
££s.d.d.
18701,7780144.303.8
18811,8960153.934.4
18911,8200152.985.6
19011,8880152.626.6

The same law as to cost of enumeration and collection is also revealed between countries differing in density of population, and between themselves at different Census periods, as shown by the following illustrations :—

Comparative Cost of Enumeration in Different Countries.
Country.CensusPer Sq. Mile.Per Head.Density per Square Mile.
£s.d.d.
New South Wales1,8910134.193.7
Victoria1,8710273.768.3
Victoria1,88102103.469.8
Victoria1,8910343.0213.0
Scotland1,871013111.48112.7
Scotland1,88101461.38125.0
England and Wales1,8711670.95386.5
England and Wales1,8811970.80442.0

The study of the foregoing illustrations of comparative cost of enumeration in different countries and at different periods shows clearly how costper head diminisheswith increasing density of population, while a contrary increase in absolute cost and cost persquare mileinvariably happens with increase in the density of the population. A low costper head, therefore, taken by itself, is no test of economy ; for it can only be reduced as theabsolute costandcost per unit of area increases.The total cost of enumeration in Tasmania in 1901 being only 1s. 5d. per square mile, and 2.62d. per head, compares most favourably with former Censuses in Tasmania, and, on the whole, compares most favourably with the cost of enumeration in other countries when both factors are taken into consideration. Indeed the consideration that the absolute cost of enumeration is actually only £68, or 3.63 per cent., more than it was in the Census of 1891, while the population enumerated in 1901 is greater by 17.60 per cent., is the best evidence that can be afforded of the care taken to secure the information required at the lowest cost consistent with efficiency.

The Systematic Work of Tabulation, Summation, and Analysis.

The systematic work of summation, tabulation, and analysis involved in a modern Census is enormous. The whole work is carried out in the central office after the Schedules and Summaries of Enumerators have been gathered, checked, and arranged in classified order. Primarily, the extent of this work is determined by four fundamental considerations :—

  1. The number of the Population.

  2. The number of distinct categories under which information regarding the same person is again and again abstracted, re-arranged, computed, and set down.

  3. The number of distinct sub-divisions under each category for which summaries are prepared.

  4. The large number of calculations involved in determining the relative percentage proportion of the figures contained in the numerous summaries under the various categories.

The information required to be compiled by the Census of 1901, according to the plan agreed upon by the Conference of Australasian Statisticians, held in Sydney in the year 1900, embraces a larger number of categories than has ever been attempted before in any part of the British Dominions.

This is best shown by comparing the categories of the Census Schedule of Tasmania for 1901 with those of the Census of 1891 and 1881, as follows :—

Census Categories of 1881, 1891, and 1901, compared.

The number of separate groupings of particulars relating to individuals, under the various categories, necessary to arrive at specific aggregates—afterwards arranged in classified summaries—is much greater than in any previous Census.

The Number of Distinct Categories Determine the Amount of Labour involved in Compilation and Tabulation.

To obtain with accuracy the aggregates under the sub-divisions of each category, from the general information relating to 172,475 persons, contained in 36,470 schedules, may seem a small matter when contrasted with the tabulation of the results of a large population, such as the United Kingdom or the United States. The labour of compilation, however, is not fairly gauged by the mere size or number of the population. It is true that the preliminary work of abstracting the particulars—provided the categories are the same—is fairly measurable by the number of the population ; but this need only absorb aboutone-fifthof the labour of permutation and summation, which latter may depend far less upon the number of the population than upon the number of the groupings for which aggregates have to be obtained and summarised under the various categories.

Take for ex&le some of the more notable of the earliest Censuses of which we have any definite account, as in the following references :—

Census of Moses (Number I., 1-46).

Categories restricted to—

Census Enumeration No.

"Number of the names, every male by their polls ; from twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel." The total of the Twelve Tribes (Levi not included) enumerated

603550

If we assume that this would include all males twenty years to, say, fifty years, it would represent a population of about 2,791,000 persons.

Census of Joab—Commanded by David.

Census Enumeration No.

There are two accounts of this very notable Census. That, according to account given in II. Samuel xxiv., 1-17, states that "The valiant men who drew the sword" of Judah and Israel, exclusive of Benjamin and Levi, numbered

1,300,000

The account of the numbering of the men of Israel and Judah "who drew the sword" at this Census, given in 1 Chronicles xxi., 1-17, sets the number down as 1,570,000. It is estimated, therefore, that a population which would yield such a large number of fighting men must have numbered something between 6,012,000 and 7,270,000 persons. It is noteworthy, therefore, that neither of these ancient Censuses embrace more than about 21 per cent. of the population, and contain only one simple category under each tribal division, viz., "valiant men who drew the sword" ; and yet (II. Samuel xxiv., 8) the latter of these Censuses took nine months and twenty days to accomplish. Compare this with the enumeration of 62,000,000 persons of the United States of America in the year 1890, under many categories, accomplished within a month, and in cities of over 10,000 inhabitants within a fortnight. Compare also the Census enumeration of 1901 in Tasmania, with an area nearly four times the size of Ancient Palestine, which was accomplished within ten days of the night fixed for the Census, and the results giving the numbers and proportions of both sexes, for every Electoral District in the State, together with elaborate comparisons with former Censuses, were actually published on 23rd April, 1901, that is within three weeks of the day actually fixed for taking the Census.

Method of Tabulation by the Ticket or Card System.

The successful tabulation of the previous Census by the Ticket or Card System induced me to adopt the same method in the tabulation of the results of the Census of 1901. It may be of great advantage to those who may have to undertake the work of a future Census in Tasmania, therefore, to describe more particularly the mode of working by this system. Although the groupings—numbering nearly a quarter of a million—under the various categories, relating to 172,475 persons

in the Census tabulation, are enormous, they are simply the result of the necessary permutations of fourteen simple categories, as follows :—

Ticket Abbreviation.
1. Locality or residence of person as indicated by the minutest Census sub-divisionDiv.
2. ScheduleSch.
3. Age last birthdayAge.
4. Conjugal ConditionCon.
5. Degree EducationEdn.
6. Where instructed, if receiving educationInst.
7. Where bornBorn7(—)8
8. Whether a British or Foreign subject

12. Sickness or Infirmity—if soSick.

13. Duty or Class of Dependants
14. Grade, &c. : Employer on own account, relatives assisting, wage-earner, unemployed seven days prior to Census-day

With a pre-arranged system of abbreviations all this information was abstracted upon specially printed tickets in respect of each individual upon the 36,470 Householders' or other Schedules.

These tickets, an ex&le of which is here given, were of four different kinds :—

census from facsimile

A ticket was thus prepared for each one of the 172,475 persons living in Tasmania on the Census night, and the persons employed in writing up tickets from schedules were paid for this preliminary work at the rate of 2s. 6d. per 100. The tickets were conveniently tied up in 2-set packets, males and females, one 2-set packet for each of the Census sub-divisions, corresponding to the unit of any of the district divisions for which results had to be obtained. Tied with each packet was a small label or tab-ticket, upon which was carefully marked the total number of tickets in packet, in conjunction with the number of Census subdivisions, and also name of clerk last using the packet of tickets. A work-book was also kept containing a complete register of the clerks engaged, with their daily work, to whom the tickets (with their numbers) and the classification division, or table allotted for each particular work, so that in event of any ticket being lost, the responsibility of loss or error could be located. These packets were carefully locked away in cell-presses according to a classified system of Census subdivision localities, so that the person in charge could deliver or replace in its classified position any packet at a moment's notice. Thus all danger of loss or disorder was obviated.

To give the utmost facility to the appointed tabulators special simple tabulating trestle-tables 8 ft. by 3 ft. 6 in. each were provided, each furnished with a lock-drawer underneath, and a vertical frame of ticket-cells fitted on to the back to secure the groups at various stages of the process of tabulating ; two ink-bottles, one for red ink, and one for black ink, were sunk flush with surface at each near corner ; while the surface of the table was divided vertically and horizontally by clearly marked lines, for arranging the tickets in distinct heaps in accordance with the particular classification in process of being carried out.

Much thought was necessary to secure the greatest amount of work by the least amount of labour ; but a few simple rules were devised and printed for this object, and also for preserving uniformity of procedure. The great principle, however, in beginning the work of tabulation relating to any stage was to fix upon thecategory and its subdivisions which were in every case common to several others—a constant, so to speak—and having so determined the category for the initial stage, then to break up the packet of the particular Census subdivision, and carefully arrange the cards at the top or side, as the case may demand, into as many subdivisions as, by previous classification, might be determined. Having distributed them in classified order, under this first category, next to count the number of cards composing each subdivision, at the same time recording the total of each group in the corresponding sub-division of this category in tabulating sheet. Finally, adding all such divisions, to prove that the aggregate agreed with the total number of tickets in the Census subdivision packet. This base of constants for other categories being proved, the tabulator would commence the next category by breaking up and dealing in the same way with each of the subdivisions in succession of the first category or constant, recording and checking with ascertained total as before. When second category was completed, he carefully restored each group of second category to its place, as a constant, in the original subdivision of the first category, and proceeded with the third, fourth, or more categories until all were complete in relation to the constant or first category selected. The small size, smooth surface, and stiffness of the tickets favoured rapidity in sorting and counting in orderly heaps on table along the marked divisions,in the smallest possible space; the latter consideration a matter of no small importance.

The constants common to several other categories—not reckoning sex or locality constant, which of course is preserved by using distinct tabulating sheets—were :—

  1. Age in its fullest subdivision (embracing Conjugal Condition, Education, Instruction, Sickness).

  2. Religions in subdivisions of classified Denominals (embracing Education, special groups of Age).

  3. Birthplaces in subdivision of Country-born (embracing Education, Special Age groups, special grouping under conjugal condition).

  4. Occupations, in subdivisions of Specific Occupation (embracing Special Age groups, Grades, Districts).

By such system the whole of the categories and their varied subdivisions were tabulated and checked in a very satisfactory and orderly manner. All unnecessary handling was obviated, and the greatest possible results were accurately secured with the smallest possible expenditure of labour.

The compilation of the Census subdivision results, under all predetermined categories, with their subdivisions were afterwards aggregated to form results under the various Districts under which it was determined they should be printed, whether in the detailed or summarised forms.

Where the number of cards under ultimate subdivision are very numerous, as in populous countries, the use of automatic ticket-counting machines would be required to facilitate labour ; but in counting the ultimate subdivision groups of a small population like Tasmania, the initial expense of such automatic aids would, upon the whole, cancel the advantage saved in hand counting.

My attention was also directed to the ingenious "Holerith" machine employed so largely in America and elsewhere, whereby the counting under all categories is effected simultaneously by electrical "make-and-break" contacts. But, so far as I was able to learn, the advantages are not so great as might be supposed, where the population is inconsiderable, as every distinct particular under each category must previously be indicated by holes punched by hand. The abbreviated signs on cards, I believe, can be done far more speedily and with greater accuracy and satisfaction.

SECTION II.—PROGRESS OF POPULATION.

The results of the Census of 1901, together with the comparisons with the year of the former Census (1891), are presented in the following table :—

Population of the Censuses of 1891 and 1901 compared.
Population.1901. No.1891. No.Increase in 1901 over 1891.

Females82,85169,10713,744
TOTAL172,475146,66725,80817.60

Although this comparison shows an increase of 25,508, or an increase of 17.60 per cent. as compared with the Census of 1891, the comparative progress cannot be properly appreciated without reference to corresponding rates of progress in former intercensal periods, as shown in the following table :—

Comparative Progress at various Intercensal Periods since the Year 1841.

Persons No.Per cent. Period.

1891-19019.9825,80817.601.64
1841-190159.48122,259243.402.09

From the foregoing comparison it will be seen that, as regards absolute increase between any of the six intercensal periods, the greatest progress was made in the decade ending in 1891, the absolute increase being 30,962. The last Census takes up the second position, with an increase of 25,808.

The following places the several intercensal periods in their respective order of importance as regards the actual amount of increase :—

Order.Period.Increase, No.
11881-9130,962
21891-190125,808

41851-6119,847
51870-8116,377
61861-709,351

Inasmuch, however, as the several intercensal periods differ somewhat, the true rate of progress is not fairly indicated by the mere reference to the absolute amount of increase between each period. The following table gives the true order of progress, as determined by the decennial and annual rates of increase, thus :—

Order.Period.Percentage Rate of Increase.

From this analysis it would appear that, although the absolute increase in population the last intercensal period takes up the second position in importance of the six periods compared, it falls into the fourth position when compared by the true relative rate of increase ; the first position being taken up by the first, or earlier, period, and the lowest, absolutely and relatively, by the third period in order of time.

YEARLY ESTIMATES OF POPULATION BETWEEN DIFFERENT CENSUSES.

The ordinary method adopted by Statisticians (between the actual points of time when different Censuses are taken) to form an estimate of the population in each year is to add to the last ascertained results of the Census the natural increase of births over deaths, and to add or deduct, as the case may be, the balance of external migration. The results of the balance of births over deaths may be fairly relied upon as correct in most countries where registration is systematically

Carried out ; but there is room for a considerable amount of error arising from imperfect registration of migration in young progressive colonies, where the element of migration is extremely variable, and, as a rule, bears a very high percentage to the total population as compared with the same element relative to the much larger populations of older countries. As a general rule also the balance of migration is by avery smallpercentageagainstthe older thickly populated countries, while, as a rule, the balance, by aconsiderablepercentage, isin favourof young progressive colonies. The following illustration brings this important consideration more clearly into view :—

At the close of the intercensal period of 1881-1891, in Tasmania, it was found that the yearly estimates of population, based upon the ascertained balances of natural increase and migration, were in excess of the truth by about 6.82 per cent. From this it was inferred that the Customs estimates were in each year of the interval under estimated, as regards Emigration or Departures, to the extent of about 7 per cent. Although during the intercensal period 1891-1901 a correction, making allowance for unrecorded departures, was made to the extent of 7 per cent, it was found at last Census that, at the close of the decade, the latest estimate was nearly 7 per cent. (6.92) in excess of the truth. During this period there was a much greater migratory movement to and from the new mining centres of the West, and it is inferred that the unrecorded departures by sea to other States were abnormally large.

IMMIGRATION.

The influx of a continuous stream of immigrants produces at first, to a small population, a much larger proportion of the annual increase than the ultimate major source of increase, viz., the annual rate of natural increase, or the excess of births over deaths. For ex&le, to a population of say 200,000, an influx, in one year, of 20,000 immigrants would represent an annual increase of as much as 10 per cent., while the normal natural increase would be above the average if it amounted to 2 per cent., representing only an increase of 4000. At a later stage, when the population reached say 10,000,000, an influx of 50,000 immigrants in one year would only represent one-half per cent., while the natural increase of say 2 per cent. would add as much to its population in one year as 200,000. This is the true reason why such abnormal annual rates of increase occur in the earlier decades of the wonderful development of these Australasian colonies, and it explains why the high annual rate of increase of 11.27 per cent., in the decade ending in the year 1861 has gradually fallen until it reached an average of only 1.78 per cent., per annum during the decade ending in the year 1901. The following table further illustrates the fluctuating character of the earlier periods of high rates of increase due to influx of immigrants, in young countries, as contrasted with the more normal progress of the United Kingdom with its great density of population, and in which the influence of migration on its annual rate of increase is so comparatively small that it may be altogether ignored.

The preceding table clearly demonstrates not only that the annual rate of increase of population in the younger countries is rapidly approaching the normal rates of the older and more densely populated centres of population, but also, as regards the latter, there is evidence of another cause in operation, especially during the last decade, having the effect of still further lowering the annual rate of increase of the population. From the beginning of the year 1881 the statistics of the United Kingdom and of the Australasian colonies show unmistakably that a great change has taken place as regards the social conditions of the people, and especially effecting the birth-rate in these countries. My friend, Mr. Coghlan, the distinguished Statistician of New South Wales, has made a special study of this important matter. In his statistical account of "The Seven Colonies of Australasia, 1901-1902" (pp. 502-503), he has made the following important observations :—

"It is a matter of common knowledge that for some years past the birth-rate in Australasia has been declining, and so important is the subject—not only as regards the growth of population, but also as affecting general progress—that in 1899 the author made a special investigation into the question of child-birth in Australia, but more particularly with reference to New South Wales. The conclusions arrived at with respect to that State, however, may be held to obtain for all the others, seeing the conditions of living do not differ materially in any of them. During the course of the investigation it was found, first, that for all women the proportion of fecund marriages is decreasing ; second, that among fecund women the birth-rate is much reduced as compared with what it was twenty years ago. It was also found that the decline had been persistent and regular since 1881, and this restriction of births in a young country like Australia, where immigration is discouraged, is a matter which must have far-reaching results, although its economic effects are only beginning to be seen, and should claim the serious consideration of all thoughtful people."

It is true that the lowering of the birth-rate at once, to some extent, operates in reducing the general death-rate also ; but the serious decline in the rate of natural increase, as shown in the following summary, is a strong additional reason for caution in forming any estimate of the growth of population in these colonies, during the next century :—

THE CAUSES UPON WHICH GROWTH OF POPULATION DEPENDS.

The growth of population depends on two causes—firstly, the excess of births over deaths ; and secondly, on the balance of migration. In this State the former is the principal cause of growth and has invariably shown a very much larger rate in the balance of births over deaths than the corresponding rates of the normal populations of older European countries. The difference in favour of this and other Australasian States, by the larger balance of births over deaths, as compared with the older and more densely populated countries, is mainly due to the much lower death-rate of the younger countries.

Since the year 1841 the balance of external migration has been subject to much fluctuation. Within the decades ending in 1851, 1861, and 1891 the balance of migration has been in favour of the State ; but within the decades ending 1871, 1881, and 1891 the balance has been against the State.

In the decennium, 1881-1891, the excess of births over deaths, or natural increase, was 25,001, or 21.60 per cent. ; while in the decennium 1891-1901 this increase has only been 27,987, or 19.08 per cent. During the last decade the birth-rate in the United Kingdom and in these Australasian colonies has declined in a very remarkable degree, and Tasmania has shown no excepto the general experience. Had the birth-rate of the former decade maintained itself in the decade ending in 1901 it is estimated that the births would have numbered 57,106, instead of the actual 48,374 ; that means a loss of 8732 to the population from this cause alone. As a set-off to this, however, there has also been a wonderful fall in the death-rate. During the decade 1881-91 the average death-rate was 16.20 per thousand ; in the decade ending in 1901 the average death-rate fell to 13.13 per thousand. This difference represents a saving of 5138 lives, and a corresponding gain to the population.

During the decade 1881-1891 the balance of migration was in the favour of the Colony, and added 5961, or 5.13 per cent., to the population. In the period now under review, however, the balance was against the State, and caused a loss of 2179, or 1.48 per cent. Had all the influences operating in the decade 1881-1891 maintained themselves in the last decade, it is estimated that the population on last Census day would have numbered 185,840, instead of 172,475 ; that is, it would have exceeded the actual by 13,365, or 7.75 per cent.

The fluctuations in the various causes affecting the growth of population in Tasmania since 1841 are shown more fully in the following comparative table :—

Although these comparisons with former periods are very useful in gauging the rate of progress which the State has made at different periods, it is necessary also to measure our progress as far as possible by contrast with other countries about the same time. The following table has been prepared with this object in view. The countries selected for comparison are England and Wales, Scotland, the several States of the Commonwealth of Australia, and New Zealand :—

The foregoing table gives, at a glance, a clear idea of the relative progress which the Australasian colonies are making as compared with the Mother Country ; the progress, relatively, of the former being still much greater on account of (1) the very much larger rate of natural increase (Victoria during the last decade excepted), and (2) to the balance of migration being largely in their favour.

The following is the order of the countries compared as regards the relative progress made by each within the last decade, Tasmania taking the fifth in order, thus :—(1) Western Australia ; (2) Queensland ; (3) New Zealand ; (4) New South Wales ; (5) Tasmania ; (6) South Australia ; (7) England and Wales : (8) Scotland ; and last, or (9), Victoria.

ABNORMAL HIGH RATE OF INCREASE IN AUSTRALASIAN COLONIES DURING THE EARLIER YEARS OF SETTLEMENT GRADUALLY BECOMING NORMAL.

The rapidity with which the population of young English colonies increases during the earlier stages—for ex&le, doubling in the space of 18 years—is marvelous, when contrasted with even the most vigorous of old densely populated centres. During the period 1841-1901 the United Kingdom only increased by 14,723,649, that is, only at an annual rate of 0.73 per cent. This rate, if continuous, would take 94.7 years to double the population.

The relatively more rapid progress of young countries—especially in the earlier stages of settlement—is mainly due :—(1) Relative to population, to the large proportional influx of immigrants from older centres, and (2) to the favourable hygienic conditions of a thinly populated country, tending to prolong the average life, and consequently to produce a much lower death-rate than is found common in the less favourably crowded centres of population of the Old World.

It cannot be expected, however, that the abnormally high rate of increase can be maintained in these Australasian colonies as the population increases beyond the limits of density of the Pastoral stage. This was referred to by the writer inThe Tasmanian Official Recordfor the year 1892, in the following terms :—

"It is a common fallacy to assume that the present (1881-1891) relative rate of increase in Australasia will be maintained over a long period of years ; for as population grows larger the immigration element will diminish proportionately, unless we assume, what is very improbable, that immigration will continue to increase at the same rate as the total population.

"The death-rate, too, now so favourable, will gradually increase to the normal rate of European countries as the people approach a similar density of population ; for it is now too well established that a more or less high death-rate is always a concomitant of densely populated centres.

"It is more probable, therefore, that the progress of population in Australasia during the next hundred years will follow the curve exhibited in the United States progress between the years 1790 and 1890, rather than that the rate of the last 30 years shall continue to be maintained for such a long period."

These predictions have been fully verified by the results of the last Census as shown in the following table :—

PROBABLE GROWTH OF POPULATION IN TASMANIA DURING THE NEXT CENTURY.

Turning our attention now to the future, and assuming that the annual rate of growth of population during the last decade (1.64) will be maintained without any material change throughout the next 100 years, the following table has been prepared showing the estimated population in single years for the first ten, and thereafter in intervals of ten years. The population of the Commonwealth is given for comparison at intervals of ten years. The annual rate assumed by me for the determination of the latter is taken at 1.73 per cent.

I have thus given as briefly as the nature of the subject permits the reasoning upon which elsewhere I have chosen to base my estimate of the growth of population in this State upon the latest rates of annual increase rather than upon averages which include the differing conditions of the earlier periods, involving, as they do, the unreliable disturbing conditions and non-recurring abnormal proportional increases due to influx of immigrants. It is even doubtful if the lower average rates of increase of the last decade can be maintained over so long a period as the next 100 years ; but when we consider that the nearness of the United States of America, with her still vast areas of undeveloped lands, open to the surplus population of Europe, the rapidly growing density of population in the former, and the resulting congestion of their labour market, may favour a diversion of a very much larger proportion of European surplus labour to Australia within the next thirty or forty years.

We have, therefore, good reason for the belief that the higher stage of development in the United States in the coming century may specially favour the progress of the Australasian group.

An estimate prepared by me, based upon the experience of twenty-one great countries, with a population of over 400 millions, demonstrates that the present civilization requires the cultivation of 2.25 acres per head for food and raw products. The present area of the United States is reckoned at about 2291 million acres. Allowing a need of the estimated requirement of cultivated land—viz., 2.25 acres per head—for supplying the whole round of wants of each person, and that three-fourths of her total area are capable of cultivation, then, if her population increases at her present rate of 1.96 per cent. per year, it would be so vast in 119 years (763 million persons) that the produce of every available acre would beIllegiblerequired forhome consumption.The checks to population, however, may be expected to increase, and this limit may be placed further back ; but it is clear that the need to withdraw, more and more, her present enormous export of raw products from external markets will greatly operate in enhancing the value of the virgin soils of the more distant Australasia, and so give an additional spur to her development in the coming years.

NOTE.—The boundaries and number of Electoral Districts were much altered between the two last Censuses, and hence it is difficult to make strict comparisons between many of the Districts. Taken in groups as bracketed, and by the larger divisions, the comparisons may be regarded as approximately correct.

The order of the various Electoral Districts, showing the greatest relative increase and the least relative decrease since 1891, is shown as follows, beginning with the highest relative increase :—

Increase, per cent.
1. Lyell, Zeehan and Cumberland191.31
2. Devonport, West Devon, East Devon, and Wellington28.70
3. George Town, Ringarooma, and Selby22.80
4. Kingborough and Queenborough18.05
5. Franklin16.79
6. Fingal16.54
7. Glenorchy13.89
8. City of Launceston4.73
9. Evandale2.79
10. New Norfolk1.20
11. Deloraine1.14
Decrease, per cent.
12. City of Hobart1.0
13. C&bell Town1.32
14. Oatlands4.44
15. Longford, Cressy, and Westbury5.46
16. Brighton, Richmond, Sorell, and Glamorgan6.66

From the above summary it will be seen that a third of the districts show a slight decrease, as compared with the previous Census, ranging from 1.0 per cent in the City of Hobart to 6.66 per cent. in the districts of Brighton, Richmond, Sorell, and Glamorgan.

Two-thirds of the districts, however, show increases ranging from 1.14 per cent. in the district of Deloraine to as high as 191.31 per cent. in the new rich mining centres of the West (viz., Lyell and Zeehan, including Cumberland).

The general movement of population, however, is better appreciated when studied in relation to the larger geographical divisions, as in the following summary :—

Relative Progress in the Larger Geographical Divisions.
Increase per cent. since 1891.
1. Western and Midland99.35
2. North-Western23.78
3. North-Eastern8.42
4. South-Eastern and South-Western3.83
All17.60

From this it would appear that numbers One and Two are above the average increase for the whole State, while the Third and Fourth divisions are much below it.

The following summary shows the absolute increases for the larger divisions. The order of relative progress, however, remains undisturbed, thus :—

RELATIVE ORDER OF IMPORTANCE IN RELATION TO THE TOTAL POPULATION OF THE LARGER GEOGRAPHICAL DIVISIONS.

The proportion of population in each one of the larger geographical divisions, in relation to the whole State has been greatly modified since the previous Census by the general trend of migration from the older settled districts to the new centres of the rich silver and copper mining fields of Western Tasmania. Although this movement of population from East to West has been

very large and general, it did not go so far as to disturb the order of relative importance of the larger geographical divisions as ascertained at the previous Census of 1891 ; thus :—

AGGREGATION OF POPULATION.

The absolute extent of aggregation, or centralization, of population of any country, and particularly as regards metropolitan centres, is in a large measure determined by the number of the total population of the country as a whole. The proportion which the capital or metropolitan centre of any country bears either to what is usually termed "urban" centres as a whole, or to the total urban and rural population, is quite an accidental matter, and varies extremely in different countries, in accordance with nature of the prevailing industries and with geographical and physical conditions. Thus, although the population of London in 1901 (4,536,063) only represents 13.95 per cent. of the total population of England and Wales, the total urban population of England and Wales (25,054,268) represents as much as 77.0 per cent. Compare this with New South Wales (Census 1891), where the metropolitan population of Sydney and Suburbs represents as much as 33.85 of the total population ; yet its total urban population is estimated at only 66.17 per cent.

These considerations will enable any one to correctly interpret the following table dealing with the relative growth of urban and rural districts in Tasmania since 1857, as indicated by the metropolitan district of Hobart and Suburbs and other urban districts of over 3000 inhabitants, as contrasted with the growth of rural districts under 3000 inhabitants, thus :—

[* Includes the Suburbs of Bellerive and Beltana.] [† Excluding Suburbs.]

The significance of the observations already made regarding aggregations in urban centres as frequently erroneously inferred from restricted attention to the accidental proportions which the capital city bears to the total population is most manifest in the above comparative table. It shows that urban centres of over 3000 inhabitants in Tasmania have gradually declined proportionally to

total population from 32.07 per cent. in 1857 to 24.75 per cent. in 1901. Inversely the rural population between the same periods has increased gradually from 67.93 per cent. in 1857 to 75.25 per cent. in 1901.

Still more marked is the danger of inferring truly the growth of rural and urban populations respectively, from the accidental proportions which the capital city of a country bears to the whole population, as shown by the following illustration :—

Proportion of Population of Capital City and Total Urban Centres to Total Population of the Country., Per centage.
Country.Capital.Total Urban.Rural.All.
England and Wales13.9576.0523.95100
New South Wales33.8566.1533.85100
Tasmania20.5930.5869.42100

The difference in favour of the percentages of the rural populations of the two smaller countries would be much greater if the limits of what may fairly be regarded as urban populations were the same in all places under comparison. The limit of the older and more densely populated country is very much higher.

Further information regarding progress in Urban and Rural Districts since the year 1857 is given in the following table :—

COMPARATIVE PROGRESS OF THE POPULATION OF CITIES, TOWNS, VILLAGES, AND MINING CENTRES DURING THE LAST INTERCENSAL PERIOD.

The following table has been specially prepared to indicate the comparative rate of growth of population in the two cities, and in the various small centres of population which had been in existence prior to the Census of 1891 ; and also to show, in a general way, the trend of what may be termed the "internal drift of population" as in contradistinction to the "growth by natural increase."

The artificial restriction of comparison to centres of 100 persons and over, however, conceals to some extent the actual or true rate of growth, in the case of those small communities which, during the last Intercensal period, have passed from below to above the limit which the necessities of tabulation restrict recognition as distinct centres considered apart from the population sparsely scattered throughout the country in a less gregarious state.

The nature of the principal industries carried on in the various centres is indicated by letters thus:—

* Indicates a new centre, or that the population was under 100 persons at the time of the previous Census.

Centres showing a Decrease.

The following 27 centres show a decrease as compared with the previous Census. It is significant, however, that few of the centres showing a positive decrease are to be found in the western or north-western portions of the State, which during the last intercensal period have, as a whole, made remarkable progress :—

Newly Established Centres.

The following is a list, in the order of their importance, of 16 centres of over 100 inhabitants, which have grown up or have become established since the previous Census :—

From the foregoing analysis we find that the cities, towns, and villages, &c., over 100 inhabitants, which numbered 79 in 1891, had increased to 88 in 1901 ; i.e., an increase of 9 ; and the population of these centres had apparently increased by 18,666 persons, or 23.21 per cent.

This, however, must be qualified by the consideration that the population of the 20 new centres in 1901, contains also the unknown element under 100 persons which existed in an embryo state in a number of these localities when the previous Census (1891) was taken. Even with this qualification, it is clear on the whole, that the city, town, and village populations have increased at a higher ratio than the residue scattered throughout the State, engaged in the primary industries of farming, mining, or timber-getting.

The highest increase, absolutely and relatively, is to be found in the centres of the new mineral fields in the Western and Midland Division ; and the lowest increase, absolutely and relatively, curiously enough, is to be found in the North-Western Division, where as regards increase in the rural element (under 100 persons) this division stands highest of the four. It is evident that this arises from the very rapid way in which the development of farm-holdings has taken place in this promising and progressive agricultural region of the State.

SECTION IV.—THE HABITATIONS OF THE PEOPLE.

The first attempt to obtain definite information as regards the habitations of the people was made in the year 1841, when the total number of dwellings recorded was 7758. Of these, 3459 were built of brick or stone, and 3489 of wood. At the last Census, or sixty years afterwards, it was found that the total number of dwellings had increased to 36,470. The population in 1841 was 50,216 ; in 1901 it increased to 172,475. Thus it would appear that while the number of distinct dwellings within this interval has increased 4.70 fold, the population has only increased 3.43 fold. This, no doubt arises from the fact that in the earlier stage of settlement the aggregation of large numbers of military and other persons living in barracks did not require the same number of distinct dwellings as in the altered circumstances of the State at the present time.

This is borne out by reference to the number of persons to each dwelling in 1841 and 1901, respectively ; in the former period the number of persons to each dwelling is found to be as high as 7.32 ; in the latter it is only 5.05.

The normal number of persons to each inhabited dwelling in the United Kingdom has ranged from about 5.33 in 1871, to 5.19 in 1901. In Tasmania during the same period the number of persons to each inhabited dwelling has similarily ranged from 5.50 in 1870 to 5.05 in 1901 ; the average of the later Census years being 5.26 persons per inhabited dwelling. The experience in the Mother Colony of New South Wales, in this respect, has been similar to that of Tasmania.

The two subjoined tables have been prepared to show various particulars relating to the number and character of the dwellings of the people at each Census since the year 1841.

From the preceding tables we may perceive that in nearly every respect there has been a great improvement in the condition of the people, as indicated by the character of the habitations in which they live.

Inhabited Houses.—The number of inhabited houses (34,165) has increased by 6141, or 21.91 per cent., since the previous Census. This is a larger absolute increase than in any previous intercensal period, with the exception of the increase in the very prosperous period 1881-91, which was a little higher, viz., 6166.

As regards the character of the dwellings themselves, as indicated by the number of rooms per dwelling, and the number of persons living in improved dwellings, both as regards accommodation and value, the improvement at the last Census is very marked. The increasing proportion of those living in dwellings of Three Rooms and over is very noticeable, thus :—

Percentage Proportion of Dwellings having Three Rooms and over.
188172.65 per cent.
189177.75 per cent.
190180.82 per cent.

This evidence of improvement in the material condition of the people is also confirmed by reference to the proportion of inhabited dwellings having an annual rental value of £10 and over. Thus in 1891 the percentage proportion of dwellings assessed at a rental value of £10 and over was 60.95 per cent. of all dwellings ; in 1901 this proportion was increased to 68.28 per cent.

These two factors are the best indices which we could select for determining the condition of the broad masses of the people. They indicate, most unmistakably, that a vast improvement in the homes of the people has taken place, and the figures shown also represent a very large percentage of the better class of dwellings when compared with the manner in which the masses of the people are lodged in the great cities of the United Kingdom. In Glasgow, for ex&le, Mulhall states on the authority of Mr. Hoey, that only 30.04 per cent. of the people were lodged in houses of three rooms and over in the year 1889. The importance of increased house room, from a health point of view, was at the same time clearly proved by Mr. Hoey in a paper read by him at the British Association, 1889, by the following illustration of the death-rate in that city, referable to the more or less crowded modes of lodgement, thus :—

Living inNumber of Souls.Death-rate per 1000.
One room133,00035.0
Two rooms235,00027.7
Three to four rooms158,00019.5
Five or more rooms11.2
Total526,00025.0

The superior condition of the mass of the people in Tasmania, as regards the class of dwellings occupied by them, is also strikingly borne out when compared with the class of dwelling in which the mass of people in England and Wales were lodged in the year 1886, thus —

Percentage of Inhabited Dwellings of the Annual Value of £20 and over.
England and Wales, 188615.35 per cent.
Tasmania, 190133.50 per cent.

The vast difference between the lodgement of the masses of the people in a crowded city like Glasgow and in Tasmania is shown by the following contrast :—

A similar contrast could be furnished also in favour of the sister States of Australasia. No better index of the improved condition of the mass of the people of these States could be given than that afforded by the foregoing contrasts, wherein it is shown that about 20 per cent. of the lower industrial class have, by improved local conditions, been raised into the class next above them in social order, in Europe.

SECTION V.—AGES OF THE PEOPLE.

To ascertain the number of persons living at each age period is one of the most important objects of a Census inquiry.

The knowledge which has enabled the higher civilised communities to accurately gauge and provide for the better education of the young ; the maintenance and improvement of the general health ; the humane provision for the support of the widow and orphan ; the care of the young and helpless in mines and factories ; just electoral representation, and many other important matters relating to the welfare of the people, all depend, most intimately, upon the accuracy with which we gauge the number of the living and dying at each age of life.

Owing to various causes—although fairly accurate results are obtained for the quinquennial and decennial groups of ages—the Census method of inquiry has never been able to furnish, directly, a strictly accurate statement of the ages of the peopleat each single year of life.

As to the statement of the exact age at each year of life, many persons are careless ; some, at the advanced ages, do not remember to a year or two the correct age. Persons of extreme old age are in some cases inclined to exaggerate their age, while those between 20 and 40 have a tendency to understate their age to a small extent. Males verging upon the age of 21, in many cases, state their age as 21. This may be due to a desire to avoid difficulties in the case of minors about, to marry, or where there is undue eagerness to obtain the electoral rights of manhood suffrage. Upon the whole there is disclosed by the Tasmanian Census, as in the Censuses of all other countries, a well marked tendency among such people to put themselves down at the nearest round period, notably at 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 ; and in lesser degree at the intervening nodes, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85. The round decennial periods seem to act like attracting cores round which the unconscientious and those whose ages are imperfectly known, segregate or cluster at the expense of the one or two contiguous years ending in the lower 9, or in the higher 1, especially the latter. The constancy of these slight false nodes was graphically illustrated by me at the last Census, and they correspond very closely with the results as obtained by the Census of 1901, as may be seen by the following illustration :—

Segregation of Ages at Decennial Periods, 30 to 80, at the Expense of the Contiguous Years.

01,3391,2646685233189719
1978763354262153746

To some extent the yearly variations in the balance of migration and natural increase of births over deaths may account for some proportion of the irregularities from the law of decrease in each succeeding year ; still it is evident, from the intensity and regularity of the segregation at the decennial nodes that they are mainly due to the causes referred to.

Although it would appear, therefore, that the number of persons livingat each single year of agecannot directly be ascertained exactly from the figures actually obtained from Census Schedules, the statistician can arrive at a very close approximation of the truth by the aid of the more accurate quinquennial and decennial groupings. In practice this method of determining the number of persons actually living at each single year of age has been found to approximate very closely to the truth, and to afford a practically safe foundation, in the hands of the skilled actuary, for the safe conduct of all matters relating to annuities and life insurance.

For Health Standards and other useful purposes, the information respecting ages, gained by the ordinary quinquennial groupings, fulfils all the necessary conditions with the utmost perfection.

With these preliminary observations regarding ages, we may now proceed to single out the more important generalizations for consideration and comparison.

Of the 172,475 persons returned at the Census of 1901, the ages of 172,328 persons (89,504 males—82,824 females) were specifically recorded in the householders' schedules, of which the following is a correct summary, by quinquennial and other useful age-groupings :—

Contrast of Principal Age-Groups with former Census Periods.

The following Summary is designed to show how far the proportion of persons living at the more important Age-Groups in 1901, agree with or differ from similar groups at the three previous Censuses, 1870, 1881, and 1891 :—

In the foregoing table the proportion of persons living under 5 years and over 65 years respectively, is singled out specially, as the proportion of children and aged people in a community largely determines the true significance of average. Birth-rates and Death-rates, which are commonly calculated on the basis of the total population, without necessary qualifications as to the age-composition upon which the value of such averages chiefly depends for comparative purposes.

One of the most noticeable points in this comparison with former periods is the considerable fall in the number of children living under the age of five years as compared with the Census year 1891, notwithstanding the increase of 17.61 per cent. in the total population. The proportion of this important age-group to the whole population—12.12 per cent.—is much lower than recorded in any previous Census in Tasmania.

The lowered proportion of this important age-group at the last Census is undoubtedly due to the remarkable fall in the Birth-rate during the last decade, and especially during the last five years of the decade. During the same period a similar experience of this wonderful decline in the birth-rate has been observed in nearly all civilised countries, and particularly so in the United Kingdom, and in the States of Australia and New Zealand.

Mr. Coghlan, the thoughtful and accomplished Statistician of New South Wales, in his latest issue of "The Seven Colonies of Australasia," has drawn particular attention to this grave change in the social condition of the people in the following terms :—

"It is a matter of common knowledge that for some years past the birth-rate has been declining in the colonies, and so important is the subject, not only as regards the growth of the population but also as affecting the general progress, that in 1899 the author (Mr. Coghlan) made a special investigation into the question of childbirth in Australia, but more particularly with reference to New South Wales. The conclusions arrived at with respect to that colony, however, may be held to obtain for all the others, seeing that the conditions of living do not differ materially in any of them. During the course of the investigation it was found, first, that for all women the proportion of fertile marriages is decreasing ; second, that amongst fertile women the birth-rate is much reduced as compared with what it was twenty years ago ; and third, that Australian-born women are not so fertile as the European women who have emigrated to the colonies, although how far this is due to natural sterility, and how far to prevention, it is impossible to say. It was also found that the decline had been persistent and regular since 1881, and this restriction of births in a young country like Australia, where immigration is discouraged, is a matter which must have far-reaching results, although its economic effects are only beginning to be seen, and should claim the serious consideration of all thoughtful people."

If we now turn to the proportion of persons of 21 years of age and over (adults)—we find at the last Census that they represent almost exactly half the population (50.18 per cent.) ; persons between 5 and 65 years of age represent 83.81 per cent. ; and the group 65 and over represents

4.26 per cent. of the total population. Thus it appears that the two great extremes, 0-5 and 65 and over, both show a decline in their proportions, as compared with former Census periods ; while the great intervening group, 5-65, shows a markedly increased proportion to the whole. Although upon the whole the males at "Worker's age"—20-60—preserve nearly the same proportion as at the previous Census, the proportion living at the most effective age-period 20-40, or "Soldier's age," shows a slight decline. It is probable that this decline at the most vigorous age, as regards the male population, is due to the smaller demand for labour locally since days when a larger amount of railway and other public works were being carried on throughout various parts of the State. The greater attraction for common labour in the mining centres of Western Australia, and the considerable migration to South Africa no doubt has drawn from Tasmania a considerable number of young men at this the most effective age-group.

CONTRAST OF AGE-GROUP PROPORTIONS WITH OTHER COUNTRIES.

The full significance of the proportions at particular age-groups, however, can only be appreciated by comparisons with other countries. But even then caution must be used in drawing inferences from particular cases. A relatively low or high proportion of any age-group may be the effect of very different causes. This applies particularly to age-group proportion 20-65. In Western Australia, the high proportion of group 20-65, viz., 62.20 per cent., is mainly the result of theintrusion of an abnormally large number of immigrantsdrawn from other countries. In France an abnormally high proportion is maintained within the same age-group,owing to a continuous and abnormally low birth-ratetending to produce an almost stationary population.

Another cause tending to increase the proportions of the older age-groups may be found in countries where, owing to climatic or other causes, the death-rate of children under 5 years is excessively high.

Thus, immigration, a stationary population caused by a low rate of fertility, and a prevailing high death-rate among children, may equally be potent in producing an abnormally high proportion at the higher age-groups.

On the other hand, a high rate of fertility tends to diminish the proportion of ages at all the higher age-groups.

From these two tables it would appear that France affords the best ex&le of a comparatively stationary population ; and it is interesting to observe how closely its proportions, at the various age-groups, correspond with those of an Ideal Stationary Population, as determined by George King ("Text Book, Institute of Actuaries, 1887").

SECTION VI.—CONJUGAL CONDITION OF THE PEOPLE.

Of the total population, as ascertained at the last Census (172,475), particulars relating to the age and conjugal condition of 171,965 persons, or 99.70 per cent. of the whole, have been ascertained. The proportional analysis of these may, therefore, be safely taken as applying to the total population.

The following summary gives, under particular age-groups, a sufficiently comprehensive view of the number and percentage proportion living under the several conditions :—

If we restrict the relative proportions to all married and marriageable persons, however—say, males 20 years and upwards and females 15 years and upwards—we obtain the following proportions in relation to all married and marriageable persons ; thus :—

Marriageable Men and Women.

To ascertain the full extent of marriageable persons it is necessary to add the widowed and divorced persons to bachelors and spinsters, as in the following abstract :—

Conjugal Condition.Marriageable Men (20 years and upwards.)Marriageable Women (15 years and upwards.)Women to every 100 Men.
Bachelors and spinsters, 190118,99321,052110.95

All marriageable persons, 189118,58519,361104.18
All marriageable persons, 188111,88912,733107.10

Although there were, in 1901, 119.29 marriageable women to every 100 marriageable men, it appears there were only 110.95 spinsters to every 100 bachelors. In 1891 there was a less proportion of marriageable women in relation to marriageable men, being 104.18 in 1891 to 119.29 per cent. in 1901.

Distribution and Proportion of all Marriageable Women over 15 years of age to all Marriageable Men over 20 years of age.

As usual the larger number of marriageable women over 15 relative to marriageable men for all ages over 20 are found in the cities, and the smallest in country districts, especially so in the partially settled mining districts ; thus :—

Distribution and Proportion of Marriageable Women to Marriageable Men at the normal Marriageable Age.

The conclusions which may be drawn from the preceding analysis of the proportions of marriageable men and women ofall agesover the minimum prescribed for each sex require some further qualification before we can obtain a correct view of this important and interesting question.

To obtain a right conception of the proportions of the numbers of marriageable persons of both sexes attention should be restricted to thenormalmarriageable age-period. From the analysis of the marriage registers it has been ascertained that about 90 per cent. of all males who enter the marriage state marry between the ages of 20 and 40, while as much as 95 per cent. of females who enter the marriage state marry between the ages of 18 and 35 years. It has also to be borne in mind that all widowed and divorced persons are included in the preceding analysis of marriageable persons.

As most of the latter are well advanced in age, and few of which will again enter the marriage state, they ought to be eliminated from the comparison. It is further observed that these widowed and divorced persons of advanced age as a rule congregate in relatively greater proportions within the larger centres of population, as in Hobart and Launceston, and thus appear to swell unduly the proportions of the numbers of women to men at thenormaloreffectivemarriageable age.

To afford a more correct view of the proportions of available marriageable men and women within the limits of the effective or normal marriageable age, the following analysis has been prepared, based upon the condition of all males living between the ages of 20 and 40, and of all females living between the ages of 18 and 35 years, thus—

Synopsis of Proportions of Marriageable Men and Women in the chief divisions of the State living within the limits of the Effective or Normal Marriageable Age.

Thus it would appear that, while in the cities of Hobart and Launceston, at those ages at which men and women are most likely to marry, the number of marriageable women exceeds the marriageable men (the ratio in Launceston being about two men to every three women) ; the proportions of mining and country districts show that the numbers of marriageable men greatly exceed the numbers of marriageable women, and in the State, as a whole, it is shown that, at the ages at which men and women are most likely to marry, the proportion between the sexes equal about five men to every four women.

SECTION V.—BIRTHPLACES OF THE PEOPLE.

Of the total population at the last Census (172,475) particulars regarding the place of birth of 173,467 persons were ascertained. Of these 170,243, or 98.72 per cent., were born in British possessions, and 2224, or 1.28 per cent., in Foreign Countries. Those born in Australasia numbered 149,155, or 86.50 per cent. The details are as under :—

As compared with the previous Census the number of persons born in Tasmania has increased by 28,728, or 26.62 per cent., while its percentage to the whole population has increased from 73.88 per cent. to 79.23 per cent. Similarly, the number of persons born in other parts of Australasia has increased by 5198, or 70.92 per cent., while their percentage to the total population has increased from 5.02 to 7.27 per cent.

The number of persons born in various parts of the United Kingdom are as under :—

United Kingdom :—
England and Wales12,9427.51
Scotland2,9861.74

Total United Kingdom19,81511.48

It is of special importance to notice that the number of persons born in the United Kingdom at the last Census shows a marked decline, both numerically and centesimally during the last Census period. This arises in a large measure from arrest of immigration during the last forty years augmented by the larger proportion of deaths occurring among the earlier immigrants, who, within the last ten years, reached the final limits of ripe old age.

The decline, numerically and centesimally, of those born in the United Kingdom, whose descendants from the greater part of the existing population of Tasmania, is best appreciated by a glance at the following figures :—

Born in Foreign Countries, including their Dependencies.

The total number of persons enumerated at the last Census as having been born in foreign countries is stated to have been 2224, or only 1.28 per cent. of the total population. This shows a considerable decrease, both absolutely and relatively, as compared with the figures of the previous Census. The decrease, as compared with the Census of 1891, represents 715 persons, being a decrease of 24.33 per cent. This decrease of Foreign-born in our population is general, although by far the greatest decline is in the number of Chinese, thus :—

Although the number of persons living in Tasmania at the last Census (35,846) born elsewhere only represents about one-fifth of the total population, and although fully one-half of these are the survivals of persons born within the United Kingdom, the latter proportion does not adequately indicate the ancestry or origin of the existing population of Tasmania. The ancestry or origin of the present population is better indicated by the survivals of those born elsewhere than in Tasmania who have resided in the latter place for a period of 25 years and over.

The preceding analysis would seem to indicate, so far as racial origin is concerned, that fully 91 per cent. of the total population have been derived from British and Irish ancestry.

Tasmanians in each Australasian State or Colony.

At the last Census there were 30,535 Tasmanians living in the other six sister States or Colonies. These, with the 136,629 enumerated living in Tasmania, make a total of 167,164 persons of Tasmanian birth living in the seven Australasian Colonies.

The number of persons born in the six sister Colonies enumerated as living in Tasmania, was 12,488. This shows upon the whole that the sister Colonies have been the gainers by 18,047 persons in migratory exchange. During the last intercensal period, however, Tasmania has had the balance of inter-migration in its favour, as the balance against her was stated to be 19,418 persons ; that is, the migratory balance during the last decade was 1371 persons in favour of Tasmania, and against the six sister States.

The following abstract gives the details of the distribution of the 167,164 persons of Tasmanian birth living at the last Census in the seven Australasian Colonies, together with corresponding figures at the time of the previous Census :—

SECTION VIII.—THE EDUCATION OF THE PEOPLE.

In my report on the previous Census of Tasmania (1891) I stated that it is only in a very narrow and restricted sense that statistical information gained by the ordinary Census methods can be accepted as an index of the "Education of the People." At best it only attempts to gauge the proportion of those who have acquired the elementary power to receive or impart ideas to others by means of at least one known system of written or printed symbols. Of the extent, nature, or value of the ideas themselves, or of the power to receive or impart them in perfection, in one or more symbolic forms, as tested by the varied educational standards, the educational statistics of the ordinary Census tables afford only the very slightest clue.

Notwithstanding these objections, there is much to be gained by the knowledge obtained from the statistics which disclose the proportion of persons who can read and write at each age-period from 10 years and upwards ; and valuable information is also afforded in respect of the means provided, and the extent to which these are availed of at school-age in every part of the country. Thus, although, directly, the comparative power to read and write at each age and in each district conveys little information of the nature and extent of the education imparted, it is eloquent as an index in revealing comparatively how far the ordinary but invaluable culture of the Common School system extends or is lacking ; and also it affords a very safe measure of the success attained in other branches of education which are the usual concomitants of tuition in reading and writing in any tongue.

As the power to read and write therefore, is regarded mainly as evidence of the possession of a certain amount of intelligence obtained from the training in all other matters within the Common School curriculum, it has been deemed advisable to include all foreigners who can read and write under this category, irrespective of the tongue or symbol used, as there is no more justification, on educational grounds, for excluding Englishmen who can only so express themselves in their mother tongue. In the detail tables, however, the number of those who can only read, or read and write in a foreign tongue, are given separately, so that comparisons may be made with other places where a different method of classification obtains.

In making comparisons, it is obvious that all infants and children not yet arrived at the age for training in reading and writing should be excluded. Indeed it is the results of the training at the end of the normal tutelary stage which should be sought for in comparison with other periods or countries, rather than the misleading averages, which include not only the young under and during the age of the process of training, but also aged persons, whose averages tend to conceal the success or otherwise of the existing machinery provided for the education of the young of the community.

The classification adopted at the last Census, by the Statisticians of Australasia, for obvious reasons, excludes all ages under five years. In phrase "for all ages" where used hereafter in tables or otherwise, it must be understood that ages under five years are wholly excluded.

The following table shows the percentage proportions of all who could read and write, read only, and could not read, at the principal groups, as ascertained at the last Census in Tasmania :—

In the above very full analysis is shown the percentage proportions of all over the School-age—14 years and over—under various categories. To measure the progress of education comparisons with the results of the previous Census of 1891 are given as follows :—

1901. Per cent.1891. Per cent.
Read and Write, 14 years and over—
Males92.1787.94
Females93.9489.74
Persons93.0288.77

Males1.693.24
Females1.983.81
Persons1.833.50
Could not Read, 14 years and over—
Males6.148.82
Females4.086.45
Persons5.157.73

The proportions at the higher stage—read and write—at each quinquennial period is as usual highest at age-period 15-20, among which females (98.04 per cent.) show the best results, thus :—

Females98.04 per cent.
Males95.26 per cent.
Persons96.58 per cent.

As the percentages of those who can read and write at successive quinquennial periods gradually diminish—being as low as 59.87 per cent., in the oldest (Females, 85 and over)—they afford the best indication that can be given of the decided but gradual improvement in the means of education that has taken place at each quinquennial since the beginning of the last century. That even the present means of education is capable of producing still higher results, as years eliminate the poorer results and reduce the proportions of past efforts, is shown by the figures which record more perfectly the results of the educational system now in operation—that is, at the age-period 15-20 years—among which those who cannot read and write do not now exceed 3½ per cent. of those living at that age.

Improvement in Education since 1891.

The tendency towards improvement is also clearly manifested in comparisons at different age-periods, as shown by the Census returns of 1881, 1891 and 1901 ; thus :—

Education of Children.

The education of children between 5 and 15 years of age upon the whole shows considerable improvement, as compared with the two previous Censuses ; thus :—

The variation of the results is considerable accordingly as the group approaches the termination of the School Period, those at the later stage showing, of course, much higher results. This is best

illustrated by selecting six typical groups—3-15, 5-14, 5-15, 6-15, local school age, 7-14, and group 10-15, as revealed by the last Census Returns, 1901 ; thus :—

EDUCATION IN AUSTRALASIAN STATES.

The best index of the striking progress made by the Australasian States in regard to Education is obtained by comparing the results of the Three Censuses—1881, 1891, and 1901—in respect of all ages of Five years and over, as in the following table :—

Proportion of Persons per 10,000 of the Population 5 Years of Age and over who could Read and Write, Read only, and who could not Read in the seven Australasian States in the Census years 1881, 1891, and 1901.

TOTAL10,00010,00010,000

It will be seen from these results that while in the earlier years—1881, 1891—Tasmania was considerably behind the average of the seven Australasian States in the proportion of those who could read and write, yet in the later year—1901—the rapid progress made has placed her slightly ahead of the average of the Seven States in respect of this higher category. Thus while in 1881 there were only 7523 persons in Tasmania who could read and write out of every 10,000 people 5 years of age and over, the number in 1901 had increased to 8814 ; while those who could not read had, in the same period, decreased from 1531 to 935. Such marked progress during the last 20 years reflects great credit upon the existing Common School system of education in Tasmania.

Schools and School Attendance.

As in the former Census, the figures relating to children receiving instruction at the various schools or at home are not quite so satisfactory, and the same remarks apply to information relating to the number of schools and teachers. If we supplement the information so obtained by official returns relating to schools in the General Statistics of the State we obtain the following approximations :—

Schools, Teachers, and Scholars, 1901.
Schools—No.

3-15 years32,881

From these figures we gather that throughout the 26,215 square miles of Tasmania there were established 553 Common Schools, having 31,545 scholars receiving instruction at the time of the Census—i.e. an average of 57 scholars to each school. The number of persons receiving instruction, whether at school or at home, is stated to be 34,529, and the number of instructors of all kinds are stated to be 1363. This provides one instructor to every 26 scholars. At the Census of 1891 we find there were 71 scholars to each school, and one instructor to every 31 pupils.

The following table gives fuller information regarding the numbers and proportions of children receiving instruction at school and at home at various age-periods between 3 and 15 years of age at the last Census, together with corresponding proportions for the previous Censuses, 1881 and 1891 :—

If we examine more particularly the School-age group (7-14 years) we find that there has been a gradual improvement in the numbers actually receiving instruction as compared with the results of the two previous Censuses, all taken at a given point of time. Thus in 1881 there were as much as 21.64 per cent. of children not in actual attendance. In 1891 the actual non-attendance fell to 19.67 per cent., while at the last Census the percentage of non-attendance decreased still further to 12.26 per cent.

At first sight it might be supposed that the whole of the non-attendant residue (12.67 per cent.) had never been provided with the ordinary advantages of the common school instruction ; but, as formerly pointed out by me, this supposition is altogether erroneous. It simply means that about 12.67 per cent. of all children living within the limits of the school-age were not in actual attendance at school at that particular moment of time. Directly it affords no evidence whatever of the number of children who may have attained the age of 14 years who never received an elementary school education.

The only method for ascertaining approximately the numbers who failed to receive instruction at some period within the school-age is to analyse the standard of education of those who have just completed the age terminating the school period. Thus, if we take all those who had attained their fifteenth year of age, we obtain from their standard a fair estimate of what the previous opportunities for instruction must have been. Accordingly we find that although there were only 87.74 per cent., at school-age attending upon instruction at the time of the Census the percentage of those who had completed their fifteenth year of age, who could both read and write, was as high as 96.58 per cent., and those who could read 97.33 per cent. It follows that the number of children at the close of the school period who had failed to receive any instruction within the compulsory period could not have exceeded 2.67 per cent. of the whole group. This is a fairly satisfactory result when we consider the distance which children have to travel to the nearest school in the thinly populated country districts of the State.

The following table shows more fully the proportions at the age of 15 who could read and write, contrasted with the proportional attendance at school-age, at the time of the Census, in the various electoral districts of the State. The small, densely populated centres of Cressy, Franklin, and Oatlands take up the first position, each having 100 per cent. at the age who could read and write ; while the very large, thinly populated district of Cumberland, as in the former Census, takes up the lowest position with only 88.37 per cent. who could read and write.

SECTION IX.—RELIGIONS OF THE PEOPLE.

Religion—only indicating the denomination or class to which the individual professes to be related—was again included as a subject of enquiry in the Schedule for the Census of 1901.

At the previous Census, owing to some misapprehension, there were signs of objection on the part of a few, mainly belonging to the minor denominational bodies. The provision, however, to allow anyone to "object," introduced in the Census Acts of 1901, in Tasmania and the six sister States of Australasia, as in former Australasian Censuses, has had the effect of gradually reducing the still lingering fragment of objectors to this most useful and interesting statistics.

The following references tend to show that any serious objection to state the religious denomination to which each person belongs (if any) is almost as extinct as the older superstitious opposition to taking a "census" of any kind :—

Commonwealth1,9011.12

These figures show, where the optional clause to write "Object" is introduced in the answers to Census queries, that even the numbers who avail themselves of it are now very few indeed. The following observations of the eminent statistician, Dr. Longstaff (Studies in Statistics, pp. 211-12), indicate the modern tendencies of thought upon this important matter :—

"A religious census is taken in most foreign countries : it is taken in Ireland, and in most of our colonies and possessions. The principal exceptions are Great Britain, France, and Italy, and the United States. Before the unification of Italy a religious census was taken in Sardinia. The proposal to ask people in England their religious profession, a proposal that has been recommended by this Society (Royal Statistical Society) in 1840, 1860, 1870, and 1880, has always excited an amount of feeling which I confess I find it difficult to understand. . . . Many persons of all sorts of opinions say that a man's religious opinions are his own affair, and that no one has a right to inquire into them. This last objection is, I think, largely founded on the misconception that the object of the census is inquiry into individuals, whereas inquiry is made of individuals solely with a view to obtain results as to aggregates. . . . I fully admit that the returns obtained would not be absolutely correct ; nevertheless, I cannot but think that the results of successive censuses would be most valuable for comparisons, and that most interesting tendencies to increase or decrease in one direction or another would be brought to light."

In the following table a detailed account is given showing that out of a total population of 172,475 persons particulars as to the religious denomination were ascertained in respect of 169,095

persons, or 98 per cent. The unspecified numbered 3380 persons, or only 2 per cent. of the whole population. Of the latter there were 2900, or 1.72 per cent., who objected to disclose the name, if any, of the denomination to which they belonged, and there were 480, or 0.28 per cent., who failed to give any particulars. The main feature of this table may be conveniently summarised in the following way :—

The above table shows that the proportion and relative importance of the different denominations have not materially altered from the position taken up by the same bodies in the previous Census. Among the Christian denominations the largest relative increase since 1891 have been in the following order :—

1. Methodists1.45 fold.
2. Independents1.23 fold.
3. Salvation Army1.19 fold.
4. Presbyterians1.18 fold.
5. Church of Rome1.17 fold.
6. Church of England1.14 fold.
7. General increase all bodies1.19 fold.

The only denominations showing a positive decrease are the Non-Christian Sects and Mahomedans, which have diminished by 549, or 54.84 per cent.

SECTION X.—SICKNESS AND INFIRMITY.

At the Conference of Statisticians, held in Sydney, it was considered desirable to confine inquiries as to Sickness and Infirmity to four distinct categories, viz. :—

  1. Persons unable at the time to follow usual occupation by reason of Sickness.

  2. Persons unable at the time to follow usual occupation by reason of Accident.

  3. Deaf and Dumb.

  4. Blind.

The reason for this restriction of the number of specific inquiries made in previous Censuses is, that by extending the inquiry into such infirmities as idiotcy, epilepsy, insanity, loss of a limb, etc, there are a large number of persons who, from wounded sensibilities, would either refuse or refrain from answering them, and in consequence would be too imperfect in these respects to be of any statistical value. Notwithstanding this restriction to the inquiries made, a large number of heads of families or establishments furnished particulars of other classes of infirmities ; but, though the more important of these are tabulated in the more extended tables, they are not deemed to be of sufficient value to introduce for the purposes of comparison in this report.

At the last Census (1901) the number of persons stated to be sick, suffering from accident, deaf and dumb, and blind was 1652, which scarcely represents 1 per cent. of the total population, viz., 0.96 per cent. Of the 1127 sick persons there were 618 males and 509 females.

In the following summary the results of the Censuses of the years 1891 and 1901 are contrasted :—

Sickness and Infirmity.1901.1891.
Persons. No.Per cent. to Total Population.Persons. No.Per cent. to Total Population.
Sickness1,1270.651,1690.80
Accident2770.161520.10
Deaf and Dumb750.04540.04
Blind1730.101650.11
TOTAL1,6520.951,5401.05

Upon the whole the proportion of sickness and infirmity at the time of the last Census is shown to be 0.10 per cent. less than at the time of the Census of 1891.

The male bread-winners being more exposed to risk of accident, from the nature of their occupations, invariably represent a larger relative proportion suffering from sickness and infirmity than females. In 1901 the number of cases among males was 924, or 1.11 per cent. ; among females the number of cases was 658, or only 0.79 per cent. of the total female population.

The four classes of infirmities for which particulars were sought, fall, naturally, into two very distinct divisions—(1) those causing disablement to follow usual occupation by reason of sickness or accident. The greater number of persons so disabled, however, are expected to recover sooner or later, and the group is thus distinguished from : (2) that group of infirmities—deaf and dumb and blind—embracing those of a more or less permanent character.

Proportion of Persons Disabled from Sickness at each Age-Period.

The proportion of persons disabled from sickness and accident increases with age in a degree almost approaching to geometrical progression. Thus the proportion of males and females, per 10,000 living, disabled from both causes, at the last Census, increased at each successive age-period in the following ratio :—

Age Period.Per 10,000 Living.
Males.Females.
Under 20 years21.2517.01

The variability in the proportions of males and females disabled from sickness and accident at each age-period is more fully disclosed in the following table :—

From the preceding table it would appear that up to the age of 45 the proportion of those disabled from sickness was greater among females than males ; the reverse being the case for nearly all the quinquennial age-periods (exception, 75 to 80 years) from 45-50. As might be expected the liability to disablement from accidental injury is much greater for males than females, the proportion for all ages being 26.56 per 10,000 living for males, and only 4.71 per 10,000 living for females. Although the proportion of persons so disabled increases with age, the ratio is much smaller for accidental injury than for sickness. It is probable also that in the older age-groups those stated as disabled from accident may have their proportions greatly augmented from causes occurring at the earlier ages, especially as regards males, who are more exposed to injury from accident in the earlier years from the nature of their sports and occupations.

Number of Days of Sickness and Accident Disablement for Men Yearly.

To Friendly Societies and their individual members it is of the greatest importance to obtain accurate information as to the probable number of days in each year in which men are disabled from following their usual occupations, and how far are their Sick Funds affected by the heavier demands made upon them as we proceed from the younger to the older lives. The experience of our Friendly Societies in Tasmania for the years 1891 and 1901 respectively was as follows :—

Sick Pay.—Average number of days Disabled in each year in respect of which each member received Sick Pay.

1,8916.89 days per memeber per year.
1,9017.48 days per member per year.

If we assume that the number of men disabled from work by reason of sickness and accident on Census day was a fair index of the proportions similarly disabled throughout the year, the following figures, for men at all ages 20 and over, would show the aggregate number of days' disablement per man per year :—

1,8915.58 days disabled per man per year.
1,9015.88 days disabled per man per year.

These results, however, are considerably lower than the actual experience of our local Friendly Societies. It is possible that the great difference between the Census results and the experience of Friendly Societies may be accounted for in part by one or all of the following considerations :—

1.

That at the time of the year in which the Census was taken there was a greater average freedom from sickness than the average of the whole year.

2.

That, in cases of the less serious forms of sickness, there is reason to expect that there would be a greater tendency on the part of members of Friendly Societies to place themselves upon the sick list than it would be on the part of the great body of breadwinners who were not so fortunately provided for in cases of temporary disablement.

3.

That the information relating to disablement from sickness or accident may possibly be less complete than in the returns furnished in respect of members of Friendly Societies, as failure to give complete information on the part of the person filling up the Census schedule is not attended with the personal disadvantages as would occur to a disabled member of a friendly society who failed to report his case in the proper quarter.

This is the general experience at other times and in other countries as regards the information relating to disablement from sickness and accident obtained by the Census collector, and, therefore, so far as the Actuary of Friendly Societies is concerned, the Census results would not of themselves be a safe guide to him in framing his provisions for meeting the demands for sick pay for the various age-groups of the normal form of friendly society.

Notwithstanding this the information obtained by way of Census may fairly be relied upon as being relatively true as compared with information similarily obtained at other times and in other countries.

The following table shows for the Census years 1891 and 1901 the estimated number of days lost by men during the year according to age :—

[* Based upon the assumption that the same proportion as on Census day characterised all other days throughout the year.] [† This average closely corresponds with the average number of days' sickness for which Sick Pay is provided by the various Friendly Societies in Tasmania.]

It will be observed that the results of the two Census years differ considerably in the details of ages. Up to the age of 40 the year 1901 contrasts favourably with 1891 ; the reverse being the case for the most part for ages over 40. Upon the whole, however, the mean loss of days per man per year for men at ages 20 and over does not present any material difference. The mean of both years show a smaller loss per man than the average loss experienced by local Friendly Societies for the same years by as much as 20 per cent.

Comparative yearly disablement from Sickness for Men in different countries.

The average number of days' sickness for men in different countries, as ascertained by the labours of eminent actuaries, is also of the greatest interest, as throwing light upon all matters affecting the general health of the people.

It is reasonable to expect that there should be wide differences in the experience of different countries in respect of the disablement, yearly, of men from sickness arising from the great difference of the conditions of local environment, among which the following are the most important factors :—

Differences as regards—

  1. Climate.

  2. Comparative density of population.

  3. Stage of development—(a) pastoral stage ; (b) agricultural stage ; (c) manufacturing stage.

  4. The more or less effective administration of the law relating to factories, and in respect of all sanitary matters.

  5. The comparative healthiness of the prevailing occupations of the people.

These important considerations should be borne in mind when comparing the wide differences in the sickness experience for the different countries as contrasted in the following table :—

SICKNESS AND ACCIDENT IN RELATION TO OCCUPATIONS.

The number of persons disabled from sickness and accident belonging to each class of breadwinners and to each division of dependants is shown in the following table :—

[* Based upon the assumption that the proportions on Census day characterise all other days throughout the year.] [† The higher rate is mainly due to the larger proportion of elderly persons in this group.] [‡ The lower rate in this class is mainly due to the large proportion of youthful persons contained therein.]

From the preceding table it is observed that out of the 1404 persons disabled from sickness and accident 836, or 59.54 per cent., were bread-winners, and 568, or 40.46 per cent., were dependants. Relative to the numbers in each class and division, the number of lost days per year is estimated to be 4.15 days per bread-winner and 2.09 days per dependant ; that is, the disablement for bread-winners on the average is double that of dependant wives, children, and others. The highest rate—14.22 days—however, occurs in the class "Indefinite" ; but this arises from the greater average age of the retired persons of independent means who form the larger number of this particular group. The increase of sickness with age also explains the higher rate among inmates of public institutions, where persons of extreme old age predominate.

DEAF AND DUMB PERSONS.

The number of persons returned as deaf and dumb at the last Census is stated to be 7b, or 4.35 for every 10,000 of the total population. Of these, 41 were males and 34 females. Although the proportion of persons returned as deaf and dumb is slightly greater than at the time of the previous Census, it compares favourably with other countries, as shown in the following table :—

BLIND PERSONS.

The number of person recorded as blind at the last Census is 173, of whom there were 97 males and 76 females. The rate of 10.03 per 10,000 persons is above the average of the United Kingdom and Australasia, although, according to Mulhall, it is below the average of the principal European countries.

Blindness, for the most part, however, is rather a condition of age ; and unless allowance be made for the great differences in the proportions of persons living at the principal age-groups in different countries, and especially for ages 65 and over, comparisons would be altogether misleading. This remarkable increase of blindness with increase of age is well illustrated in the following comparative table :—

[* Corrected for differences in the proportions of persons living at different age-groups.]

The principal reason why Tasmania compares so unfavourably with other countries as regards the proportion of blind persons in relation to the total population, is due to the fact that she has an abnormally large proportion of persons living at an extreme old age. The influence of extreme old age as affecting the proportion of persons returned as blind is very strikingly illustrated in the preceding table : Tasmania taking up the 3rd position for all ages under 65, while for all ages she takes up the last, or 6th.

SECTION XI.—OCCUPATIONS OF THE PEOPLE.

In my report of the Census of 1891 I have stated that perhaps there is no subject of such vital importance at the present day as that which concerns itself with the organisation of Industry, as revealed by the figures relating to the Occupations of the People : few take into consideration that there are natural laws in operation which as surely determine the numbers required in any country for particular kinds of employment as do the laws which locally determine the periods and relative heights of the diurnal tides, kinds of service or occupations, and the numbers of hands therein within a complete circle of interchange, and which are strictly determined by the average common wants. The wants which demand the greater expenditure of human energy must absorb the greater proportion of persons requiring employment, without regard to capacities, attainments, or personal desires ; and so far as the mass of human beings are concerned there is, broadly speaking, no choice.

The great wants—food, clothing, and shelter—are by far the greater factors in the determination of the aggregate numbers that must be employed in particular classes of occupations if the wants are to be reasonably satisfied ; the same three great wants also determine the necessary amount and proportions of capital, machinery, and land, together with the numbers and proportions of labourers for each kind of occupation, which, directly or indirectly, is utilized in the satisfaction of the said three great wants.

The numbers at present absorbed in creating luxurious satisfactions, although important numerically, are insignificant in comparison with the numbers absolutely required to supply the minimum of the great wants—food, clothing, and shelter ; and hence it follows that no social advancement by means of the higher education of the people can do more than ameliorate existing conditions. It cannot alter the relative numbers engaged in the various branches, excepting those cases where improved producing agencies, such as steam, electricity, and other mechanical aids, are substituted for manual labour in the more toilsome occupations, thus liberating or rendering available a larger proportion of human labour for increasing the general supply of the more luxurious satisfactions now confined to the few, or for curtailing the long hours of toilsome labour at present necessary to produce in sufficiency the common necessaries of life. It is not absolutely necessary, however, that the great classes of occupations of any one place or country, say agricultural and industrial occupations, should preserve the world's strict average proportions to each other, so far as the particular place or country is concerned, so long as they are free to make necessary exchanges with other places or countries which supply the complement of the full circle of necessary wants, or for disposing or making good local surpluses and deficiencies. Nevertheless, a country confined to the production of its own satisfaction, or what is the same, the world as a whole, must preserve the strict average proportion and quantity of labour and auxiliary aids in the production of satisfactions for the three great wants—food, clothing, and shelter—which are the mainsprings of all human activities.

The local conditions of the particular place, however, determine to a great extent the proportions of the several classes of industry. Manufactures, not so much affected by limit of space, are most economically produced within a small area, as in towns and populous centres, where the transfer of partly completed products and of labour from one branch to another can be effected with the least expenditure of time and labour, thus lessening the disadvantageous effects of distance between the producer and consumer. It is clear, therefore, that within each great circle of exchange the conditions of the locality, such as climate, soil, minerals, area of land more or less, suitable for different forms of industry, determine for each place the proportions of persons that may be locally employed in different classes of occupation ; and these proportions in any one place are sufficiently steady to enable us to gauge to what extent particular industries may be increased without producing that state of congestion of the particular field of labour, which, from such considerations, may as readily be induced in a thinly populated colony as in a crowded centre of population. It is clear, therefore, if the occupations of large bodies of immigrants into a colony do not correspond to the standard of the local proportion of the division of labour, difficulties are sure to arise in the local labour market, not because in such thinly populated lands there is no room for more hands, but because thedirectionin which the applicants have been trained, or in which they desire to be employed, is out of harmony with the natural or local proportions of those branches of industry which experience has shown can alone be carried on with success. These observations equally apply to the training of the young within the State in harmony with the direction and proportion in which their services in the future can be utilized. The different proportions of the various divisions of labour which different places or countries can maintain, is sufficiently indicated by showing what are the average differences in the composition of the bread-winners of a community accordingly as we take an Urban or Rural District of a State like Tasmania, or an average of a

populous manufacturing country like the United Kingdom. Thus, among 100 Bread-winners, the following shows the average proportion of the great divisions of labour in England, New Zealand, and Tasmania, and also the average composition of a typical Rural and Urban District in the latter State. The world's average, embracing a complete circle of exchange, is placed alongside for comparison.

The importance of such considerations sufficiently justifies all means taken to acquire accurate knowledge concerning the local laws which determine the allocation of the workers of the people to the different classes of employment, and such considerations also demand that all information so obtained should be based upon the most perfect form of classification, so that all the important relationships may be truly determined.

CLASSIFICATION OF OCCUPATIONS.

With slight modifications the Conference of Statisticians at Sydney in March, 1900, determined to adopt the systematic form of classification of occupations drawn up for the Census of 1891 in the various colonies of Australasia, and since recognized by Statisticians as "The Australian Method," and, therefore, it was according to this system that the occupations of the people of the Australasian Colonies were tabulated at the recent Census.

Prior to the Australasian Census of 1891 the Statisticians in these colonies generally followed the ex&le of England in its classification of occupations ; but the English method, originally devised by the late Dr. Farr (Deputy Registrar-General of England), although of considerable value, had many serious defects. Dr. Farr in his method of classification endeavoured to frame the groups or combinations as far as possible according to thematerialson which people worked. So far as minor groups and combinations are concerned the method was fairly successful, but as regards the principal divisions of occupations it could not form a safe guiding principle, for it is obvious that all classes of workers must often be related to the self-same materials, and separation into the principal classes of occupations could not possibly be successfully based upon this method. It is not surprising, therefore, that Dr. Farr's classification should present many defects and anomalies. For ex&le, Class II. (Domestic) and Class VI. (Indefinite and Non-productive) confusedly mixed up the grand broad economic distinctions which should keep separate Breadwinners and Dependants. Similarly Primary Producers, Distributors, and Manufacturers were indifferently mixed together under three very distinct classes, viz., Commercial (Class III.), Agricultural and Pastoral (Class IV.), and Industrial (Class V.). It is obvious, therefore, that the lack of any clearly defined principle for determining the limits of the great naturally distinct classes, themselves, led the original classifier into great perplexities ; for we find Fishermen, Veterinary Surgeon, and Farrier grouped under the Pastoral and Agricultural Class ; Chimney-sweep grouped with workers in Coal ; and the Miner, Quarryman, and other Primary Producers are classed together with a moiety of the Dealers, along with Nightsoil-men, Artisans, and Manufacturers.

The whole of the members of the Australasian Conference of Statisticians of 1890 were so thoroughly impressed with the defects of this older system of classification of occupations that they resolved to draw up an amended scheme of classification, in which the distinctions, which naturally separated the principal groups of Bread-winners and Dependants, would be more clearly defined. A Sub-committee, consisting of my distinguished friend Mr. T. A. Coghlan, Government Statistician of New South Wales, and the author, was accordingly appointed to draw up such a scheme of classification of occupations, systematized into classes, orders and sub-orders. The scheme drawn up by the Sub-committee referred to and embodying certain principles already agreed upon, with slight amendments, eventually received the unanimous approval of the members of the Conference, and it was according to this new system of classification that the people of the Australasian Colonies were tabulated at the Census of 1891, and, with very slight modification in some of the groupings, it was again adopted throughout the Australasian Colonies at the recent Census of 1901.

The amended classification is divided into eight principal classes. The first seven embrace all independentBread-winners ;and the eighth, or last class, embraces allDependants.The three important classes related toMaterialsare kept separate by regard to the relationship which theirdiffering servicesbear to the materials which pass through their hands. Thus, Primary Producers of Raw Materials directly acquired by labour from natural sources bring naturally into one class (Class VI.) those engaged in Agriculture, Grazing, Fishing, Hunting, Forestry, and Mining. Transporters, Dealers, or Distributors, who effect no material change in Producers' materials, come naturally together in Classes III. And IV. ; while all skilled and unskilled modifiers or constructors of materials, in a similar way, come naturally together in Class Industrial (Class V.).

The Domestic Class (Class II.) no longer includes wives and others engaged at home in domestic duties for which no remuneration is paid, nor dependent relatives or children.

The Professional Class (Class I.) only includes these ministering to Religion, Charity, Education, Art, Science, and Amusement, and those connected with the General and Local Government, and in Defence, Law, and Protection. All persons employed by the General and Local Government, whose occupations are properly related to Producing, Commercial, and Industrial Groups, are classed with the latter, as it is obvious the main value of such classification is to ascertainhow employed,and notby whom employed.The exact extent of the Government Service can be easily obtained by reference to the Civil List, and by direct reference to Local Governmental Centres throughout the country.

Additional information regardingAgesof Persons employed, and also as regardsGrade,(whether employer, employed on own account, relative assisting without receiving an express remuneration for services, wage-earners), was also provided for, as such information, lacking in former Censuses, was of the greatest value. Information regarding the numbers unemployed during the week preceding the Census was also obtained at the same time.

The following Summary and Table convey a comprehensive idea of the principles and plan of the improved mode of classification of occupations as drawn up and finally adopted by the Conference at Sydney in the year 1900.

Occupations of Breadwinners, however, are the main consideration from an economic point of view, and therefore it is of advantage to consider this group by itself, as shown in the following table, where the percentage proportion of each class and principal sub-class is given relative to total Breadwinners :—

It is important to observe the great distinction between the proportions of male and female workers. The normal relationship of the division of services in Tasmania at present demands that out of every 100 male Breadwinners 44 must devote themselves to the primary industries (Agricultural, Pastoral, Mining, &c.) ; 29 to industrial pursuits, 18 to Commercial and Transport services, and 9 to all other occupations.

Out of every 100 female Breadwinners 41 must devote themselves to Personal and Domestic Services, 15 to Agricultural and Pastoral Pursuits, 14 to Industrial Pursuits, 12 to Professional Services, 11 to Commercial and Transport Services, and 7 to all other occupations.

So far as countries at the agricultural and pastoral stage of development are concerned it would seem that the numbers engaged in the Primary Industries determine very rigidly the number of persons that may be employed with advantage in any other form of occupation. At this stage, therefore, the latter may well be termed the Dependant Occupations, and their relative proportions cannot suffer much disturbance without producing disastrous results in some branches of industry. It would appear also that these proportions are independent of such considerations as the general sparseness or density of the population, and therefore it is evident that fresh accessions of workers, whether from within (the local rising generation), or from without (immigrants), must be prepared to seek employment in directions harmonizing with the local natural conditions which determine the proportional numbers of the great divisions of services, and which have already been referred to in the introductory remarks regarding Occupations of the People.

Broadly speaking, therefore, it would appear that the local conditions at the present time are such that, for every 10,000 persons employed as Breadwinners there must be 3795 of them engaged in one or other of the Primary Industries. In other words every 1000 persons engaged directly in the Primary Industries of the State makes it possible for 1634 persons, or thereabout, to find room for employment in some other useful occupation ; and that for every 1000 persons placed as Breadwinners on the land there can be economically supported 6182 souls.

Although these figures depict the general law for the colony, as a whole the proportions in Rural and Urban districts vary with the dominant industries of the place, the former approximating to the proportions obtaining in large centres of population, like England and Scotland, where manufacturing industries dominate, the latter approximating to the world's average, in which agricultural and pastoral industries dominate, and absorb on the average nearly the half of all available kinds of labour.

The following table shows the varying proportions of each of the principal classes of breadwinners in the Urban and Rural Districts of Tasmania, with which are given for purposes of comparison corresponding proportions relating to other countries at similar and differing stages of development :—

The proportions of the various classes of Industry differ very widely with each place and country, but in a complete circle of exchange it is estimated that nearly half of all Breadwinners must be occupied in the production of primary materials or raw products from the land. Wherever the primary producers are much below the world's average, it indicates that the local supply of some of the necessary raw products is deficient, and must be made good mainly by exchange of local manufactured products, as in the case of England, or as in the exchanges between urban and rural districts generally.

From the above table it would appear that the general order of relative importance, both of classes and sub-classes, have undergone very little change since the previous Census was taken.

Occupations related to the Land.

The occupations related to the primary industries engaged upon the land, from their importance, invite our special attention ; and it is satisfactory to note that the largest, absolute increase among the Breadwinners, viz., 4331, or 18.38 per cent. above the numbers of the previous Census, occurs in this division. It is still more satisfactory that the principal industry of the State, so far at least as the employment of labour is concerned (Agriculture), has increased in numbers beyond that of any other group or sub-division. The workers in this important industry have increased by 3391, or 21.15 per cent., during the decade.

The actual increase in the number of hands however does not adequately indicate the progress made during the decade, so far as Agriculture is concerned. Important economic conditions in farming operations throughout the civilized world are converting the old-fashioned hand-labourer on the farm, day by day, into an expert, skilled in the use of all kinds of labour-saving agricultural machinery. This important change, during the last twenty years, is gradually reducing the number of farm hands required to cultivate, say, each 100 acres under crop, while at the same time effecting a larger yield of products, both absolutely and relatively.

This is made evident by comparing the average under crop, the value of products, and the number of hands employed in Agriculture in the last three Census years in Tasmania, as in the following summary :—

1881.1891.1901.Increase or Decrease in 20 years.
Increase per cent.Decrease per cent.
Acres in cropacres148,494168,121232,55056.6
Produce—value£837,0431,258,3071,561,28886.5
Hands employedNo.17,69916,03119,42211.0
Hands per 100 acres in cropNo.11.299.538.3529.9
Produce per Handpound47.2978.4980.4070.0

By this striking comparison it is shown that within the period of twenty years, although the number of hands required to cultivate each 100 acres in crop has been reduced from 11.92 to 8.35, or nearly 30 per cent., the absolute value of products has increased by 86 per cent., and the value of products per hand, owing to the improved methods of cultivation, has actually increased by £33 per hand, or 70 per cent.

It has thus been made manifest that the wonderful improvement in labour-saving machinery, which has so largely come into use during the last twenty years, enables the farmer to till the land more effectively than formerly, with fewer hands.

It is true that the progress of Agriculture in later years is not so rapid, relatively, as it was formerly, both in Australia and Tasmania. One of the most potent causes which has operated in retarding agricultural progress in Australasia is that the land already under crop more than suffices for the Australasian market, and the expansion of the surplus designed for the distant market of the United Kingdom is checked by the gradually falling prices in that market, which is open to the keen competition of the closer and greater producing centres of America and Russia, not to mention the produce of India, created by a class of agriculturists whose low standard of living or wages enables them to undersell the Australasian producer, crippled as he is, not merely by the immense obstacle of distance, but also by the much higher standard of living fortunately enjoyed by the labourer in these States.

Grades of Occupations.

In the last Census schedule a column was again inserted, as in 1891, for the purpose of ascertaining the grades of all workers, such as employer, engaged on own account, and wage-earner. Further particulars of the latter were also obtained, separately distinguishing the number employed during the week preceeding Census day, and the number of relatives assisting employer in business or work whose services were not necessarily rewarded in expressly stated wages.

The following is a summary of the information so obtained in respect of all Breadwinners as heretofore defined :—

Employers.

The classes in which the Employer 8 showed the largest proportion was that devoted to Pastoral pursuits, the lowest, proportion was among Mineral producers. The following shows the order of the classes and sub-classes in relation to the percentage proportion of employers, beginning with the highest :—

Unemployed.

The total number of Unemployed recorded was 2165, or 2.95 per cent. The highest proportion of the Unemployed was in the Mineral Producer Class, 5.48 ; the lowest in Indefinite, 0.39 per cent. ; thus :

Percentage Proportion of unemployed Wage-earners to Breadwinners in each Class.

7. Pastoral Producers1.60
8. Other Primary Producers1.52
9. Agricultural Producers1.28
10. Property and Finance0.73
11. Indefinite0.39

The proportion of unemployed in 1901—2.95 per cent. to all Breadwinners— is higher than in 1891, when it was 2.54 per cent. From such returns as are yet available from other States it is also satisfactory that the condition is favourable to Tasmania.

PROGRESS OF TASMANIA 1816 TO 1902

SECTION XII.—GENERAL PROGRESS SINCE 1891.

Before bringing this Report to a close it has been thought desirable to add as a supplement certain particulars from the General Statistics of the State for the years 1891 and 1901 for the purpose of marking in what degree the State has made progress in the inter-censal period in matters lying beyond the scope of a Census—e.g.Public Finance, Taxation, Trade, Production, Modes of Transport, Communication, Accumulation, &c. For this purpose the following abstract has been compiled in a form convenient for tracing the changes which have taken place :—

CONCLUDING REMARKS.

In conclusion, I am reminded that this is the second Census in Tasmania that I have had the honour of superintending, viz., 1891 and 1901. On the present occasion I was fortunate in having the assistance of the officers of the permanent staff of the Department, who, with myself, had been advantaged by the experience gained in the organization and superintendence of all matters pertaining to the enumeration and tabulation of the previous Census of the year 1891. My deputy, Mr. F. M. Hudspeth, as on the former occasion, was placed in immediate charge of the temporary staff engaged in the intricate work of tabulation, and it affords me great pleasure again to record that in this important trust he gave me the greatest satisfaction by the excellent way in which he discharged his onerous duties. The other members of my permanent staff also, from their training and experience, were of the greatest service, accepting with enthusiasm the extra hours and duties thrown upon them by the Census work.

I desire also to mention that my own labours in the organization and superintendence of all matters relating to the taking of the Census were made lighter than they would otherwise have been by the kind and willing co-operation of the officers of the various Public Departments where their assistance was necessary in carrying out certain branches of Census work. Among these I desire to mention specially the Government Printing Office, in respect of all matter relating to the printing of the Census work ; the Surveyor-General, in respect of maps and diagrams ; the Post and Telegraph Department for valuable aid in posting notices and promptitude in delivery of important documents and messages ; to the Police Department, to the Education Department, to all Heads of Schools and Colleges, to Resident Magistrates and Wardens, and to the Press generally for invaluable aid in affording information, and in advising as to the best mode for making provision for isolated districts. Again also I desire to acknowledge the never-failing courtesy of the Statisticians of the sister States in supplying such information as I required for comparative and other purposes.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

ROBERT M. JOHNSTON,

Government Statistician, and Registrar-General.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.

THIS Schedule is to be filled up in accordance with the headings to the columns on the other side, BY THE OCCUPIER OR PERSON IN CHARGE OF THE DWELLING, with particulars respecting all the persons who slept or abode therein on the night of SUNDAY, the 31ST MARCH, 1901, together with those travelling or out at work during that night (and not included elsewhere), and who return to this House or Dwelling on MONDAY, 1ST APRIL. If the house is occupied by different families in separate stories or apartments, each such story or apartment must be treated as a separate DWELLING, and the OCCUPIER OR PERSON IN CHARGE of each must make a Return upon a separate Schedule. In the case of large Pastoral and other similar Establishments the Proprietor or Superintendent may fill in the Returns of his complete Establishment, but a separate Schedule must in such case be filled for each of the Outstation Dwelling-houses or Huts in which a distinct family or person resides, in addition to that for the Home Station ; and if any Out-station is in a different Collector's District from that of the Home-station, the Schedule for it is to be delivered to the Collectors of the Sub-district in which such dwelling is situated.

This paper will be called for by the Collector on Monday, the 1st day of April, or as soon after as practicable. By that date the answers should be written in the proper columns, and the document duly signed by the Occupier or Person in Charge. It is the Collector's duty to verify the facts, and, if the form, from any cause, should not have been filled up, or should have been insufficiently or erroneously filled up, to record the necessary particulars or make the necessary corrections, from inquiries which he is authorized to make for that purpose.

APPENDIX B., CENSUS OF TASMANIA, 1901.

INSTRUCTIONS TO ENUMERATORS.

Issued with the approval of the Hon. the Chief Secretary, under Sect. 9 of Census Act, 1901.

SUB-DIVISION OF DISTRICT.

1.

THE first duty of an Enumerator is to make a careful study of the chart or charts (sent herewith) upon which the area forming his district is defined. [First duty.]

2.

TheEnumerator's Districtexactly corresponds with that of a particular Electoral District (House of Assembly), whose marginal boundary, dividing it from contiguous Enumerator Districts, is indicated by a well-defined blue border. Within thisblueboundary the coloured divisions of Municipal and Police (red), Registration (yellow), Road Trust (green), and County (brown) break up theEnumerator's Districtinto a series of irregularly shaped meshes, each one of which forms a distinctCensus Sub-division, distinguished by a specific number enclosed within a conspicuous coloured circle ; thus— [Enumerator's District defined by a blue border corresponding to limits of an Electoral District (H.A.)]

3.

The next duty of the Enumerator will be to determine the number of persons necessary to perform the duties of Assistants orSub-enumeratorsas defined in separate Instructions. The instructions also given hereafter, however, must first be carefully studied, as they will materially aid the Enumerator in determining the number of Sub-enumerators necessary to perform the work required of them within the specified time. [Number of Sub-enumerators to be determined by Enumerator.]

4.

The principal conditions to be observed in dividing the Enumerator's District in Sub-districts, each havingoneSub-enumerator or Collector, are briefly as follow :— [Conditions to be observed in determining the limits of each Sub-enumerator's Sub-District.]

(a.)

Each Sub-district, so far as possible, must not comprise a larger area than admits of all the Schedules being called for by its (one) Sub-enumerator on Monday and Tuesday, the 1st and 2nd April. (In sparsely populated and unsurveyed Districts, however, some discretion is allowed to the Enumerator as to how far this rule can be adhered to without the risk of confusion as to boundaries, and in cases where there is difficulty of securing a sufficient number of competent Sub-enumerators). [Sub-districts must not embrace too large an area not too many dwellings.]

(b.)

In apportioning each Sub-enumerator's work, the Enumerator must consider the distance to be traversed in going from dwelling to dwelling, and must therefore form the Sub-districts so as to comprise more dwellings where they lie near together, us in a town, and fewer when they lie far apart. Thus, in a town where dwellings adjoin or lie near together, the number included in the Sub-district may be from 200 to 250 inhabited houses ; in suburban districts, villages, or gold-fields, where the dwellings, though near, are more scaltered, the number may be from 100 to 200 ; in the more settled agricultural and pastoral districts, where there is, occasionally a distance of more than half a mile between one dwelling and the next nearest, the number may be from 50 to 100 ; and in the more scattered agricultural or thinly populated districts, where intervals of two miles or upwards sometimes intervene, less than 50 may be included in a Sub-district. [Limits of number of dwellings to a sub-district in town and country districts respectively.]

(c.)

As regards arrangements for collecting among lands insulated by water, or in outlying pastoral, timber, fishing, mining, or prospecting localities, &c., the special circumstances affecting each must be taken into account both as regards the time to be allowed and the number of dwellings to be allotted to each Sub-enumerator. But in all cases the sooner the Schedules are collected after the 31st March the easier it will be to supply omissions or to rectify errors. No more time, therefore, should be allowed than is absolutely necessary. [Special arrangements for outlying localities.]

(d.)

Each Sub-district must be composed of one or moreCensus Sub-divisions, whose external boundary must coincide exactly with the outer boundaries of the existingCensus Sub-divisionsforming its parts.Census Sub-divisionsshould not as a rule be divided so as to form parts of two separate Sub-districts. (Should it be shown to be impossible to adhere to this rule in all cases, the Enumerator must at once communicate with the Superintendent of Census, specifying the nature of the difficulty, and indicating by a well-defined pencil line the exceptional proposed boundary lines.) [Boundaries of Sub-district must coincide with coloured boundaries on Chart.]

(e.)

It a fresh boundary line must be introduced, breaking up anexisting Census Sub-division, now indicated by a specific number within a coloured circle, add a distinguishing number to each of the divided parts as directed in the following ex&le :—

Thus, suppose a Census Sub-division—say (6)—be still further divided into two parts, then let each of the latter be afterwards distinguished in reference by similar rings in pencil, repeating the original Census Sub-division number, but distinguishing the divided parts by the additional figures, say 1 and 2—thus. By this means harmonious relationship with the original Census Sub-division may still be maintained ; for—that is, the original Census Sub-division is equivalent to its two parts taken together.

5.

When the Enumerator has satisfactorily divided his District into Sub-enumerators' Sub-districts, in accordance with the foregoing instructions, he may indicate each of the latter by a series of Capital letters, A. B. C., &c., tracing their limits throughout and along existing coloured boundaries by abold pencil line.At the same time he must prepare a description of the limits and of theCensus Sub-divisionscontained in eachSub-districton the forms herewith supplied for that purpose. A model of one of these Forms, filled up, is here given as an ex&le, thus :— [Sub-districts to be distinguished by Capital Letters, and a description must be prepared on special Form.]

6.

Having marked the divisions of Sub-districts on charts, and having defined their limits on Boundaries Form, both Charts and Form must as speedily as possible be returned to Superintendent of Census in order that they may be finally approved of, and for the purpose of enabling the Superintendent of Census to prepare special separate tracings for each Sub-district so determined, for the guidance of each Sub-enumerator. [Chart and Boundary Form to be sent to Superintendent of Census.]

7.

As soon as the latter are prepared, the Enumerator's charts will again be returned to the Enumerator for local reference, together with the Charts for Sub-enumerators. The Enumerator at the proper time will deliver the latter, with all necessary forms transmitted to him, to the respective Sub-enumerators for their guidance, taking care that any such maps are presented and returned finally at the proper time, along with the completed Returns, Books, and Schedules. [Sub-enumerator's Charts to be supplied, with other forms, &c.]

8.

It is essential to the accuracy of the enumeration that the Sub-districts be well defined and clearly described, so that no doubt may exist among the Sub-enumerators as to which Sub-district any one house may belong, and that there may be no chance of the inmates being, through any such doubt, either omitted or numbered twice over. This can only be done effectually by adopting well-marked natural or artificial boundaries, such as rivers, creeks, the waterflow of gullies, streets, fenced-in or well-beaten roads, lines of electric telegraph, &c. The lines must be supposed to run down themiddle of the street, river, road, &c.,so that the houses or properties on one side may be in one Sub-district, and those on the opposite side in another. Imaginary lines drawn from point to point on maps are inadmissible, except in extreme cases. [Well-marked boundaries to be adopted.]

9.

The Enumerator will bear in mind that the Sub-districts into which he divides his District must together form the whole of that District, and that no part is to be left out under the assumption that it is uninhabited. [The whole District to be subdivided.]

10.

He will also understand that it is expedient that every Sub-District should be one connected portion of country, and should not consist of two or more detached portions. [Each Sub-district to be in one block.]

11.

In connection with the period to be allowed for collection, as already referred to, that of distribution is to be considered ; and experience has shown that in densely peopled Districts, [Time allowed for distributing Forms.]

where the Sub-enumerators act on foot, one day for leaving the Schedules is sufficient, thus accomplishing the work by the labour of three days, viz., one for distribution and two for collection ; but where the population is more scattered, and the greater portion of the time is occupied in traveling from house to house, it will be necessary to allow an equal, or nearly equal, time for distribution and collection ; but no more time is to be allowed than is actually necessary for the purposes. The Sub-enumerators are not to be paid for the interval (if any) between the delivery and collection of the Schedules, during which there is nothing for them to do.

12.

As an additional precaution against any misconception on the part of the Sub-enumerators as to their respective boundaries, it would be well that the Enumerator should endeavour, where possible, to collect them all together on some day prior to the taking of the Census, so that each, by conferring with the Sub-enumerators of the Sub-districts adjoining his division may arrive at a clear understanding of its exact boundaries. The Enumerator should take the opportunity of ascertaining whether the instructions to Sub-enumerators are properly understood, and of giving any explanation that may be wanted as to how the business of enumeration is to be performed, or any other matter left unexplained or doubtful in the instructions to Sub-enumerators. [Sub-enumerators to be assembled.]

13.

In case of any doubt as to the exact boundary line between his own and an adjoining District, the Enumerator is recommended to communicate with the Enumerator of that District and to enter into such arrangement as will enable the Sub-enumerators on either side of the boundary to act in concert, so that neither omissions nor overlapping may occur. The Enumerator is requested to take every precaution that the persons he has appointed act in concord with each other, and with the Sub-enumerators of adjoining Districts. [Doubt as to boundaries.]

APPOINTMENT OF SUB-ENUMERATORS.

14.

Having arranged the sub-division of his District, the next matter to occupy the attention of the Enumerator is the selection of as many Sub-enumerators as there are Sub-districts. [Selection of Sub-enumerators.]

15.

The principal duties of the Sub-enumerators are described in the tenth, eleventh, twelfth, and eighteenth Sections of the Census Act, and in the more detailed instructions which have been drawn up for their guidance. With these clauses and instructions the Enumerator should make himself familiar. [Duties of Sub-enumerators.]

16.

To fulfil his duties properly the Sub-enumerator must be a person of intelligence and activity, must not be less than eighteen years of age, must read and write well, and must be sufficiently healthy and strong to undergo the exertion of performing his work with promptness ; he must be of temperate habits and of sufficiently good address to convey all the requisite information concerning the Census in a manner calculated to obtain the good-will and co-operation of the inhabitants. It will likewise be necessary that he should be well acquainted with the Sub-district in which he is required to act. It being of the greatest importance that the work should be efficiently performed, no consideration whatever, except that of fitness for the performance of the duty, shall be suffered to influence the Enumerator in the appointment of Sub-enumerators. [Qualifications of Sub-enumerators.]

17.

It is further desirable that each Sub-enumerator should live in or near his own Sub-district, so that he may not have the additional labour of going far from home before he can begin his duties. It is not, therefore, advisable that many persons living at or near the same place should be selected. This rule, however, is not prescribed as one to which a rigid adherence is required, but on which the Enumerator must exercise his discretion, remembering that character and fitness are most to be considered. [Sub-enumerators should live in their Sub-districts.]

18.

The Sub-enumerators are of two classes—those acting on horseback and those acting on foot. The former are to be appointed only in country districts where a considerable distance has to be travelled in going from house to house. When mounted Sub-enumerators are employed, the Enumerator should see that horses are actually used, and that the Government is not improperly charged with the extra allowance paid to that class when the work has been performed on foot. [Horse and foot Sub-enumerators.]

19.

Having obtained a sufficient number of persons willing to serve as Sub-enumerators in his District, and having satisfied himself as to their fitness by making the requisite inquiries respecting them, the Enumerator must prepare in duplicate, on the form headed "Enumerator's Schedule B", a list of Sub-Enumerators, one copy to be submitted to the Governor in Council for approval, and the other to be returned to the Enumerator with the notification of such approval, or with such other minutes as may be necessary. [List of Sub-enumerators to be forwarded.]

20.

In order to place Enumerators in a position to engage competent persons to act as Sub-enumerators, the Government has sanctioned their employment within the following scale :— When acting on horseback, not exceeding £1 per diem ; when acting on foot, not exceeding 10s. per diem. These, it will be observed, are the maximum rates ; it is not anticipated, however, that it will be necessary to give the full amount except in specially situated districts. [Rate of Payment to Sub-enumerators.]

The Enumerator will therefore bear in mind that, should the services of suitable persons be obtainable at, and in his opinion be adequately remunerated with, a less sum, it is his duty to economise the funds voted for the Census as much as possible.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.

21.

Having compiled with the requirements of the Census Act, so far as the sub-division of his district and the selection of Sub-enumerators is concerned, and having performed the duties appertaining thereto in accordance with the foregoing instructions, the Enumerator will ascertain that all his Sub-enumerators understand their duties and how the business of enumeration is to be performed, affording them all requisite information and explanation. [Sub-enumerators' duties to be explained.]

22.

The Enumerator must take care that each person accepting the office of Sub-enumerator makes, before a Justice of the Peace, the declaration required by Section 8 and Schedule (2) of the Census Act, for which purpose forms are supplied. These documents must be forwarded to this office. [Declaration to be subscribed by Sub-enumerators.]

23.

The Enumerator must also make known to all those he appoints that no person employed on the Census will be entitled to payment unless he has faithfully performed his duties. [Payment contingent upon work being well done.]

24.

As a security against misunderstanding, the Enumerator will, after his arrangements as detailed in "Schedule A" have been approved, give to each Sub-enumerator one of the forms of "Sub-enumerator's Appointment" duly filled up and signed by himself, and after inserting the same particulars in the form "Sub-enumerator's Acceptance of Office," he will require the Sub-enumerator to sign it. The Enumerator must take care that the times and rates of payment entered in these forms agree exactly with those embodied in "Schedule A," and will also be sure to make each Sub-enumerator aware that he can only obtain the number of days' pay arranged to be allowed unless some unforeseen circumstance should occur which may justify an additional allowance. The forms "Sub-enumerator's Acceptance of Office" the Enumerator will retain until the whole of the work has been completed and the Sub-enumerators paid. [Agreements with Sub-enumerators.]

25.

The Enumerator will also explain to the Sub-enumerators that no extra time can be allowed for making up their books, as that duty is supposed to be performed in the evening, after the work of collecting is over for the day. [Book to be written up in the evening.]

26.

Should the Enumerator deem it advisable for any reason to remove a Sub-enumerator after his appointment, or should any Sub-enumerator be incapacitated from acting, the Enumerator must at once appoint another to the vacancy and report the same for the approval of the Governor in Council. [Removal, &c., of Sub-enumerators.]

27.

The Enumerator must deliver to each Sub-enumerator as many Householders' Schedules as there are dwellings in his Sub-district, together with some spare ones, and cause him to leave, on Saturday, the 30th March, or on such other of the previous ten days ending on that day as may be deemed expedient, one of those Schedules for every household. He will also supply him with as many of the other Schedules as may be necessary, and with a copy of the "Instructions to Sub-enumerators," and one or more of the Sub-enumerator's books. [Forms to be given to Sub-enumerators.]

28.

The Sub-enumerators are required by Section 12 of the Census Act, 1901, to deliver the Schedules to their Enumerators within 3 days after they have completed the collection, and it will be the duty of the Enumerator to see that this direction is carried out. [Returns from Sub-enumerators.]

29.

The Enumerator must examine separately the Householders' and other Schedules, and see that they are properly filled in, and in case of mistakes or omissions of any kind, must insist on their being rectified. He must see that in each Sub-enumerator's book the Census Sub-divisions, &c. are correctly noted, and that the book is accurately made up. As the Enumerator has the selection of his Sub-enumerators, he is responsible for their being competent to perform their work properly, and must supply all deficiencies. [Sub-enumerators' work to be checked.]

30.

The Enumerator must make out a summary of the returns given in by his Sub-enumerators on the form headed "Enumerator's Schedule C," and supply the other information required to be entered in that document. Five days are allowed by Section 13 of "The Census Act" for this purpose, but if the Sub-enumerators do their work properly, and see that none of the particulars required are omitted or misstated, a much shorter time should be sufficient. ["Enumerator's Schedule C"]

31.

In all cases where the Enumerator has reason to suppose that travelers or others have c&ed out in any Sub-district on the night of the 31st March, and has received no return respecting them, he must be particular to inquire strictly into the matter. He must also examine carefully the returns of travelers, &c. sent in by the different Sub-enumerators, and if he has reason to believe that all have not been taken, he must forward his estimate of the omissions, with the data on which it is founded. [Travellers.]

32.

The Enumerator is expected to see that each Sub-enumerator duly accounts for all the schedules he receives, and returns those which are not required. [Schedules to be accounted for.]

33.

The Enumerator must carefully attend to the requirements contained in the thirteenth section of the Census Act, respecting the time and mode of transmitting the schedules and other documents, taking care that every parcel has clearly recorded on it the name of his own district, and the several numbers of the Census Subdivisions to which it belongs, and is well and securely made up, and in such sized parcels as the Postmaster of the district may deem expedient. [Section 13 of Census Act.]

34.

It will also be his duty to certify to the correctness of all claims for payment made by those employed under him, and to forward the same to the Superintendent of the Census. [Payment of Sub-enumerators.]

35.

Should the Enumerator be prevented by sudden illness or other unavoidable cause from carrying out the task entrusted to him, he will communicate the fact to the Superintendent of Census without delay ; but should there not be sufficient time to appoint a successor, he will at once depute a person to act for him, subject to the subsequent approval of the Governor in Council. [Sudden Illness, &c., of Enumerators.]

36.

All communications on the subject of the Census are to be addressed to "The Superintendent of the Census, Hobart," and are to be marked on the outside with the word "Census," in accordance with the sixteenth action of the Act, which provides that communications so made shall be free of postage. [Communications.]

APPENDIX C. CENSUS OF 1901.

INSTRUCTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BY SUB-ENUMERATORS.

Duties prior to distribution of Householders' Schedules.

1.

EACH Sub-enumerator after his appointment must attend upon his Enumerator for the purpose of receiving instructions, and for the purpose of conferring with other Sub-enumerators with the view of settling any points which may cause doubts as regards the exact limits of their respective Sub-district boundaries as laid down on the charts prepared for their guidance. [Study of boundaries of Districts.]

2.

Each Sub-enumerator's Sub-district may contain one or more Census Sub-divisions, each of which has defined limits indicated by coloured lines, and are each distinguished on the chart by a number within a conspicuous blue circle ; thus—

3.

It is of the greatest importance that each Sub-enumerator should at the outset make himself thoroughly familiar with the exact limits of each and all of the Census Sub-divisions forming his Sub-district. Should doubts arise in his mind with respect to any part of his District, he must at once discuss and settle them with his Enumerator or with the Sub-enumerators of the divisions adjoining his own, so that he may neither omit any portion of his own Sub-district no enter into that of any other Sub-enumerator. [Doubts as to boundaries to be settled by conferring with Enumerator or with other Sub-enumerators.]

4.

The next duty of the Sub-enumerator is to read and thoroughly master the Instructions printed upon the Householder's Schedule. The ex&les given in Model Schedules at the back of each form will at once convey to him the greater part of the necessary guidance as to the manner in which particulars under each head are to be recorded. A little attention will suffice to make him familiar with the various signs and abbreviations and their signification. [Instructions on back of Householder's Schedule to be read and thoroughly mastered.]

5.

Be careful to note any part of the printed Instructions that may appear to lack clearness, and obtain the Enumerator's interpretation upon it. [Consult Enumerator on doubtful points.]

6.

Having mastered all the Instructions by such study, the Sub-enumerator will now be prepared to check the accuracy of the entries made subsequently by each Householder. [Knowledge of instructions must be sufficient to check accuracy of entries.]

7.

In addition to the Instructions contained in Householder's Schedule, the Sub-enumerator should also carefully read those Sections of the Act describing his duty and obligations, as well as the Regulations issued by the Governor in Council under Section 24, copies of which are given herewith. [Also read Regulations and Sections of Act defining duties.]

Distribution of Schedules.

8.

At the proper time each Sub-enumerator will be supplied with a sufficient number of blank Householders' Schedules for distribution within the various Census Sub-divisions comprising his special sub-district ; that is to say, one Schedule for each distinct family. [Householder's Schedule.]

9.

On receipt of the supply of Schedules the Sub-enumerators, in the view of being able to identify and secure their collection within the proper Census Sub-division, shall insert the number of such Sub-division in place set apart in top right corner of each form, and shall at once proceed to number each Schedule in consecutive order, commencing with No.1. A space is set apart for thisSchedule numberat the top (right corner) of each form. This series of Schedules so numbered is afterwards referred to as "The Original Series." [Schedulers to be numbered consecutively before distribution.]

10.

Within ten days preceding the night of the Census, the Sub-enumerator is to leave at every dwelling-house in his sub-district one or more of the previously numbered Householders' Schedules, according to the number of separate families residing in such dwelling ; and at the residence of the occupier, owner, or manager of every occupied allotment of land, and at every school, lodging-house, hotel, or establishment where people are domiciled. On leaving these Schedules he should state that they will be called for on Monday, 1st April, or as soon thereafter as possible ; and should specially inform masters or persons in charge of hotels, lodging-houses, and the like that they will be required to give full particulars, as set forth in Schedule, respecting every person who abode in their houses on the night of the 31st March. [Distribution of Schedules.]

11.

It is further directed that the Schedules be distributed in the order of their arranged consecutive numbers, noting in Sub-enumerator's pocket memorandum-book the number of Schedule and such particulars as will enable Sub-enumerator afterwards to identify the dwelling—such asstreet, number, name of house, or nameof occupier. [Schedules to be distributed in the order of their consecutive numbers.]

12.

Where there is more than oneCensus Sub-divisionwithin the Sub-enumerator's sub-district, it is necessary that the distribution within any one of these Census Sub-divisions should be completed before commencing with the next ; and in order that each Schedule afterwards may be identified with the place or locality, it is desirable before setting out each day to fill in theCensus Sub-division number,as indicated on the chart in the place reserved for that number on the top right-hand corner of the Schedule, at the same time taking due care to fill in, rather under than over, the number of Schedules that may be safely expected to suffice for distribution within that sub-division during the day. [Distribution in one Census Sub-division to be completed before commencing the next.]

13.

A reserve of blank forms may be taken to supply deficiencies, and these may have theCensus Sub-division numberwritten in by indelible-ink pencils at the moment of distribution. [Census Sub-division number also to be written in Schedule prior to distribution.]

14.

Great care must be exercised in seeing that this important sub-division number is written on every form before delivery, as upon it depends the whole of the ultimate tabulation of particulars as regards locality. [Care to be taken in inserting Sub-division number.]

15.

Before setting out in each day it is recommended that the Sub-enumerator should carefully study the course he should take in order that the distribution should be made in such a systematic way as shall ensure the complete distribution in any one locality without unnecessarily going over the same ground a second time. At the close of each day make a note of the course thus taken, for the purpose of ensuring that the same course (as nearly as possible) may be taken when the final collection of Schedules is undertaken. [The day's course to be carefully studied before starting, and a note of the same recorded at close of day.]

16.

A collector should never leave any one locality, or, if in a city, a block or square, without satisfying himself by enquiry or otherwise that no dwelling-place, temporary or permanent, has been overlooked. [Care to be taken that no dwelling-place is overlooked.]

17.

Any township, goldfield, or similar locality having 100, or more, inhabitants must be taken separately, and have a separate Sub-division number. [Towns, &c., with over 100 inhabitants.]

Collection of Schedules.

18.

On the morning of the 1st April each Sub-enumerator, taking with him a supply of blank forms for the purpose of supplying discovered omissions or to use in place of those lost or injured, also a bottle of ink and some pens, will proceed to revisit every dwelling or place at which he has left the Schedule in the various Census Sub-division of the Sub-district assigned to him, and must continue his work of collection on the following day or days until the whole of the schedules left have been recovered. [Collection of Schedules.]

19.

In doing so he must carefully consult his notes of the course he had pursued in their distribution, and adopt exactly the same course as far as possible in the process of collection. By observing this method he will secure two very important ends. In the first place, the original care bestowed in selecting the course which ensures completeness with the least amount of traveling will also be of similar advantage in their collection ; and, in the second place, seeing that the Schedules have been issued in the order of theirconsecutiveorrunning numbers,the collection by the same route ensures that each Schedule will be recovered in the same consecutive order of their running numbers. The occurrence of abreakor amissing numberin collecting will at once suggest to the Collector that some dwelling has been missedbefore leaving the spot or locality,and thus be a guarantee of completeness of collection as well as a great saving of labour and time. [Notes of the course of distribution to be consulted and followed.]

20.

Where a fresh form is substituted for a lost or injured one, care must be taken to write "substituted form" at the head, and if satisfied of correctness, write in the proper place theSchedule Numberof the original form lost or injured. [Substituted forms.]

21.

Where, from omission in original distribution, fresh Schedules are issued out of the regular course or order of running numbers, they should form a separate series of consecutive numbers distinguished by the letter A.,—thus, A1, A2, A3, and so on. The latter series are afterwards to follow the original series in the Sub-enumerator's Compilation Book belonging to the same Census Sub-division group. [Schedules issued out of regular course to supply omissions, &c., to be distinguished by the letter A.]

Examining and Checking the Schedules.

22.

On the production of the Schedule when asked for at each dwelling, it must be carefully examined, in order to ascertain before leaving that it contains all the particulars required, and, if not, he must then endeavour to obtain such further information as is necessary. He must be careful to ask if all the persons entered on the Householder's Schedule on the night of the 31st March slept or dwelt in the house, or in any part thereof which is occupied by the person making the return ; also whether any members of the family who were absent on that night are included, and, if so, he must strike them out, initialing such alteration, and writing the word "absent" in the margin. [Schedules to be examined and defects or omissions made good.]

23.

He should likewise enquire if any person was temporarily absent on the night of the 31st March, and whether there is reason to suppose—in consequence of such person being in the bush traveling on that night, or on account of his being boating, fishing, on watch, working in a mine or elsewhere—he may not have been recorded. If this should turn out to be case, the Sub-enumerator should make an entry on a separate Householder's Schedule of such particulars as would have been furnished respecting such person had he been at home, so far as they can be ascertained, with a note stating the cause of absence, &c. [Inmate absent temporarily.]

If any person enumerated in the column is married, whose wife or husband, as the case may be, is either absent from the colony or is residing at the time in some other dwelling, where he or she is likely to be returned in a separate Schedule—in this case, such husband or wife must state after their name, husband or wife "absent," as the case may be.

24.

All such Special Schedules are to be numbered with an independent series of consecutive or running numbers, to be distinguished by the letter B—thus, B1, B2, B3, and so on. This third or B series are afterwards to follow the series A in the Sub-enumerator's CompilationBook before the closeof the entries of the sameCensus Sub-division group, and before the commencement of the first series in thenext independent Census Subdivision group. [Special Schedules for absent persons to be distinguished by the letter B.]

25.

The Sub-enumerator is also required to fill one or more Schedules with particulars respecting any travelers or persons he may find c&ing out or sleeping under drays, &c., on the Census night. He should also make enquiry and furnish an estimate respecting the number, sex, &c., of any such persons he may ascertain were in any Census Sub-division of his Sub-district on that night, but whom he did not succeed in meeting with. Such Schedules to be classed and numbered consecutively with the B series of the particular Census Sub-division. [Travellers.]

26.

He must see whether a Householder's Schedule is a return for the whole house, or for a part of it only, and in case the house is occupied by more than one family, he must obtain returns for the other part or parts of it upon separate Schedules. When two or more Householders' Schedules are used for a house the Sub-enumerator must pin them together at the upper left-hand corner, and must take care that the description of the house, &c., is entered on the outside Schedule only, striking it out from all the others and inserting instead the words "Second Schedule," "Third Schedule," in the space for the particulars of "dwelling." In making this alteration he must be sure that he does not omit to record upon the first Schedule the full number of rooms contained in the house. [House occupied by several families.]

27.

Whenever the Sub-enumerator is unable to obtain back any of the Schedules he deposited by reason of their being defaced or lost, he must put the requisite questions to the inmates, and insert the information on one of the spare Schedules he takes with him from the answers given. Wherever it can be done without inconvenience or much delay, he should ask to see the master or mistress of the house or head of the family, or the occupier, teacher, manager, or other person in charge of the farm, school, or other establishment, and civilly elicit information accordingly. In the case of the Householders' Schedules, the substituted form may be marked with the same number as the original one, with the addition of the word "substituted" after such number. [Schedule defaced or lost.]

28.

Should persons refuse to make written returns, or to answer such questions as the Sub-enumerator is authorized to put, he may remind them of the penalty to which they are rendering themselves liable, and point out the caution at the head of the Schedules. He may also warn persons whom he may suspect of giving false information of the penalty they are incurring by so doing. Should they still persist in refusing to supply information, or in supplying it untruly, he must report the matter to his Enumerator, in order that the requisite steps may be taken to enforce compliance with the law. [Refusal to supply information.]

29.

If a house in which someone resides is found locked up, a Householder's Schedule must be placed under the door or left with a neighbour. If, on returning for the Schedules, the Sub-enumerator should again find the house empty, and the papers not be left out for him, he must call again and endeavour to meet with the occupier. Should he be unable to do so after several attempts, he should fill Schedules from information obtained from one of the neighbours or some other person acquainted with the inmates, in which case the house may be considered as properly visited. He must, however, take care that no persons are recorded in this manner who did not actually abide in the house on the Census night ; a similar course is to be adopted by the Sub-enumerator in the event of his being unable to meet with the manager or other person capable of giving exact information at a farm, school, factory, &c. These Schedules are also to be marked on top with the word "substituted," and must bear the original number of the missing form. [Householder absent.]

30.

The Sub-enumerator must not omit to enter persons on the Householders' Schedules because he cannot obtain all the information respecting them. If, for ex&le, he can learn no more than that a person who has since gone away, and whose name is unknown, slept in a house or c&ed out in a certain place on the night of the 31st March, he must fill a Schedule for such person, writing "not known" in the column where the name should be, always stating the sex, and adding such other particulars of age, &c., as can be ascertained or estimated. This Schedule must bear the number of the original form if not recovered. If the form was issued originally, the new form must be classed and numbered consecutively with the A series. [Failure to obtain full information.]

31.

The descriptions of all houses intended for residences, which may be uninhabited or in course of erection at the date of taking the Census, are to be entered on Householders' Schedules in the proper column, with the word "uninhabited," or "being built," as the case may be, added. Such Schedules are to be classed and numbered with the A series and signed by the Sub-enumerator. No account is to be taken of buildings, such as churches, stores, &c., in which nobody sleeps, and which are not used not intended to be used as dwellings. [Uninhabited and unfinished houses.]

32.

In the case of public offices, banks, stores, &c., in which a person or family resides in order to take care of the premises, the number of rooms occupied by such person or family is to be given only, and not the whole number in the building. Unless some one sleeps therein, shops, bathrooms, pantries, and outhouses are not to be considered as rooms. [Public officers, banks, &c.]

33.

He will likewise be particular to see that the number and sex of persons employed by others in agricultural, pastoral, mining, and manufacturing pursuits are duly noted after the occupations of their employers, as directed in the Instructions printed on the back of the House-holder's Schedule. [Hands employed.]

34.

The Householders' Schedules of public institutions, such as hospitals, gaols, and the like, are to be distinctly marked as such at the top. The Schedules of licensed public-houses are also to be marked at the top with the word "hotel." [Public institutions.]

Compilation of Particulars of Householders' Schedules.

35.

Each Sub-enumerator is also supplied with a book, called theSub-enumerator's Compilation Book, in which is recorded at the close of each day's collection the various particulars indicated by the headings, and for additional guidance in this matter, a model form of compilation is given in the beginning of each book, showing the mode of grouping all the Schedules for each Sub-division separately and in the order of their consecutives numbers. [Compilation of Schedules.]

36.

Before entering the Schedules of each Census Sub-division, they must be carefully examined and arranged in the order of the sequence of their Schedule numbers. If the order of their original distribution as directed be preserved in their collection, this arrangement will be greatly facilitated. Should this examination disclose any defects or omissions, he must with all promptitude endeavour to make them good. [Schedules to be arranged in order of sequence.]

37.

The Schedules of each separateCensus Sub-divisionbeing made complete, and arranged in the manner described, must now be securely fastened together at the top left-hand corner, together with theIndex-card(D). TheIndex-cardmust also be filled up correctly as regards the names of the Districts, &c. [Schedules for each separate Census Sub-division to be securely fastened together.]

38.

Care must be taken that the whole of the Schedules of one Census Sub-division is included and a total made before commencing the entry of the next Census Sub-division Schedules. Should unforeseen circumstances arise which require the entry of another Census Sub-division before the collection of the Schedules of the previous Sub-division have been completed, a sufficient space must be left to receive the missing Schedules, so as to enable them to be added together in their proper place. [Each Census Sub-division to be kept district.]

39.

UninhabitedCensus Sub-divisionsmust also be recorded in final Summary, with the word "uninhabited" written in space for details. [Uninhabited Census Sub-divisions to be noted.]

40.

When all the Schedules have been entered up and the totals obtained as in model form, thetotals of Census Sub-divisionsshould then be summarized in the place set apart for this purpose at the end of the Compilation Book. [Summary of Census Sub-division.]

Final transmission of all Schedules, Books, Forms, &c., to Enumerator.

41.

Having certified to the correctness of entries in the form provided for that purpose at the end of Sub-enumerator's Compilation Book, the securely-fastened Schedules, together with all Books, Forms, &c., must be made up into convenient parcels and delivered to the Enumerator on or before the 3rd April.

*

Where exceptional circumstances make it impossible to secure the completion and delivery within this time, special arrangements for extension must be made beforehand with the Enumerator

[Transmission of completed Schedule Books, &c. to Enumerator.]

42.

The Schedules not to be folded where possible, but are to be laid open upon one another in their proper order ; if unavoidable, fold once only in the middle. [Folding Schedules.]

APPENDIX D. ENTERING UP TABULATION CARDS.

1. RULES TO BE OBSERVED.

1.

THE cards are of two colors, white and pink. The white alone are to be used for males ; the pink alone are to be used for females.

2.

These cards, white and pink, are divided into two sub-groups, thus :—

Plain cards.

a.

White, without blue bar, alone to be used for all males who earn their own living, and who are not dependent upon relatives or upon public or private support. Ex&les E, A, W.

b.

Pink, without blue bar, alone to be used for all females who earn their own living, and who are not dependent upon relatives or upon public or private support. Ex&les E, A, W

Barred cards.

c.

White, with blue bar, alone to be used for all males who do not earn their own livelihood, or who depend upon relatives, upon the state, or upon public or private support.

Ex&le, male infant, son or other male relative at school ; dependent male, or dependent relative, &c. ; male inmates of gaols, charitable institutions, asylums, &c.

d.

Pink, with blue bar, alone to be used for all females who do not earn their own livelihood, or who are mainly engaged in the domestic duties of the household for which no extra remuneration is paid, or who depend upon relatives, upon the state, or upon public or private support.

Ex&les, female infant—daughter, or other female relative, or dependent at school ; female inmates of gaols, charitable institutions, asylums, &c.

II. (A.)Wife, Daughter, Son, or Relative assisting Head of Family in his or her business occupation.

This distinction can only apply to those relatives who are expressly stated as engaged as assisting the head of the family in his business, but who do not receive definite wages or salary. In such cases the information entered in "Occupier" must include the occupation of the head of the family ; thus—

W.A. Innkeeper (A) indicates wife assisting innkeeper.

S.A. Agricultural farmer (A) indicates son assisting agricultural farmer.

R.A. Pastoral farm (A) relative assisting on pastoral farm.

D.D. Where a schedule contains no apparent breadwinner the mother, senior, or head of other dependants returned under domestic duties, housekeeper, &c., must not be so classed, but referred to Occupation indefinite. Pink card without blue bar ; and—

If in house under £30 a year, Class (W.)

If in house over £30 a year, Class (O.)

III.Dependants, Male and Female.

Be careful in filling in the Occupation space to specify the condition or occupation of each dependent person ; thus—

(a) Pink Cards with Blue Bar.

NOTE.—The boundaries and the number of Districts were much altered between the Censuses of 1861-1870, 1881-1890, and 1891-1901, and hence it is difficult to make strict comparisons between many of the Districts. Taken in the groups as bracketed, and by the larger divisions, the comparisons are approximately correct.

Quota per Member*4,5384,074
[* The Quota represents the average number of the Population to each Representative Member for the particular year.] [† Exclusive of 567 Adults unspecified as regards exact age.] [‡ The reason why the Electors in this District exceed the resident Adult Males is owing to the circumstance that a large number of the former (fully 370) are residents of the adjoining or other Districts.]

NOTE.—A considerable number of the Electoral Districts were greatly altered in the interval between the two Censuses, and hence strict comparison, even between Districts of the same name, cannot be accurately made.
