Originally lllc Census was no morn tllun :1 lucuns of luustcr- lng men for foreign wars. and of on- abllng kings 11nd uhllgzirchles to tax their subjects. Sn far zlre we removed from this conception that it is now expressly forbidden to use census dutn for any sun-h pur- pcscs. In Canada the fundamental icg- al RAllSON ‘DTLTRE of tihe (Ycnsus is to determine the representation in our federal Parliament. As ls well iknown the British North Am- erica Act ‘gave the Province of Quebec a fixed number of seats (sixty flve) In the Dominion House ofConnnons. The number assign- ed to the other Provinces was PRO RAT/t with an arrangement that ‘the first rcudjustlnenf should take place rm the complcton of the Cen- sue of 1871 and that a similar rcud~ Justmcnt should follow every Sill)- sequent decennial census. The Census is thus taken prinmrllyr lo enable an redistribution blll Io he passed by_ Parliament. But the Census has far wider uses than lo fix electoral represen- tation. 1t constitutes 1n furl un- der the luodern syslcm nulhlng less than :1 great periodical stock- taking of the (lunadlzln people de- signed lu show from Iho wldeéll‘. zlngle-I-llu point Ilmt has been reached n lhc general progress of the nation. II ls difficult Wllhln brief compass lo explnln how U115 function is fulfilled. Fundament- ully, the importance of the Census hinges upon its analysis of the human elcluent or ‘mun power of tho country. 'l‘lle peoplwthemsel- ves after all are uhe basic nssefof every ulutn. Their numbers, sex, ago, occuptlon, racial origin, langu- age. education, etc. are facts In themselves ‘of the greatest mom- cnt. They constitute, moreover, the ‘background against which :11- most all other facts must be prn- Jected If the latter are to hove real slgnlflcancc. The well being of the stumphys-lcal, moral, conun- mlc—(lncludlng such vnrlell pluma- as birth and denth rates, educa- tion, transportation facilities" fln- uncial conditions, etc), with its converse In any form. can be alp- preheuded and interpreted only through the medium of DODUlEIIlOII statistics. Even if the Census went no farther it would ‘be the basis of all study of our social nnd economic conditions. Llnkcd wllh other offlcIa-l date, however, it rounds out the scheme of informa- tion by which as rby n chart the Government directs the national af- fairs. Without the Census It ls llt- eral truth to say that legislation and administration would be car- rlad on In the dark and that. there would ‘be no means of knowlng whether the country was on the road to success or disaster. So cogenlly ls this felt. that censuses at. flve year Intervals. instead ol‘ ten are universally advocated. the only drawback being the heavy cost. ' As the practice of nations Ilr re- gard to Census-taking tends more and more to uniformity the Census, affords the lnestlmable benefits of comparllllon with other countrfea and enalbles our national problems to be sIudIed In their general let- tlnx.

Scope of the Canadian Census As already remarked thc prlu1~ rlry task of the Census Is the enu- meration and (lescripllou of every man, woman and ohlld In Canada. Good fbuslness dictates that when co large an organization as this requires has once been created, It should be pul to every available puupose. In other words, the “ov- erhead" must earn Its maximum. The Census th refore should deal not only with the people themsel- ves. but directly wit-h the people's Institutions and affairs. Insofar as the latter can be properly ‘brought wthln I-ta scope. ' ‘As this polnl arises a problem ‘Involving considerable discrimina- tlon. To enumerate the people de- mands a large organization from the rphyslcal aspect. but.
