Report of the Superintendent of the Census Made to the Secretary of the Interior, 1878 (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Rethinking the census: how officials in 1878 argued for a smarter, more cost‑effective national survey.
This excerpt presents a detailed critique of the 1850 census framework and a forward‑looking plan for the 1880 census. It weighs who should supervise enumeration, how enumerators are hired, and how census districts are drawn. The author also discusses the use of prior schedules, the scope of questions, and the role of specialized agencies in collecting manufacturing and mining data. The goal is clearer, more accurate results at lower cost.
- Understand proposed shifts in supervision from marshals to dedicated census staff.
- See arguments for adjusting district boundaries and the number of supervisors.
- Learn why the author recommends limiting certain questions and refining schedules.
- Explore the debate over integrating expert data collection with standard population surveys.
Ideal for readers of history, governance, and the evolution of statistical data collection.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the proposed changes to the 10th United States Census, scheduled for 1880. The author begins with a historical overview of the process, created by the 23rd act of 1850, acknowledging its imperfections and need for revision. Several points are raised, including the proposed change in who would lead the census, the appointment of enumerators, formation of subdivisions, compensation for enumerators, the amount of time enumerators would have to complete their tasks, and what information enumerators would be seeking from households, with specific notes on the differences between de jure and de facto methods of data collection. As the census-taking process has great potential impact on the lives of individual citizens as well as the apportionment of resources, and the results are used to inform political decisions, the insights offered in this book are of critical importance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332067237_0
