The four volumes of the Census of 1918, as now published, contain an accurate and reliable exposition of the data recorded by the enumerators and special agents appointed in accordance with the provisions of the Census Act. The taking of the Census of 1918 is authorized by section 2 of Act 2352, approved on February 28, 1914, as amended by section 1 of Act 2766, which reads as follows: A census of the Philippine Islands shall be taken under the general supervision of the Governor-General and the immediate direction of an officer, to be known as the Director of the Census, who shall be appointed by the Governor-General, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The enumeration shall begin on a day to be fixed by the Governor-General, which shall be called Census Day, and shall proceed on consecutive days from daylight to darkness, including Sundays and holidays, until completed; and all data prescribed to be gathered by this Act or by regulations issued under it shall be gathered as of twelve o'clock of the night preceding that day: Provided, That if the Governor-General shall deem it necessary to require that the enumeration of any part or parts of the Philippine Islands should begin before Census Day, he is hereby authorized to fix the time when such enumeration shall begin. In accordance with section 36 of the Census Act, the Governor-General, in August, 1914, appointed a Committee composed of the Executive Secretary of the Philippine Islands, Mr. Charles R.Cameron, Colonel J.Lindsay Johnson, and Mr. Epifanio de los Santos, Provincial Fiscal of Bulacan.
