Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Director to the Secretary of Commerce and Labor: Concerning the Administration of the Permanent Bureau The skeleton organization of the four main divisions referred to, each in charge of a chief statistician, will be preserved intact, but a system of general cooperation and collaboration between all of the divisions will be established, under which it will be feasible to concentrate most of the clerical force of the bureau on single investigations, thereby greatly increasing the celerity with which single special reports can be prepared and published. Incidentally the new plan of administration will familiarize the entire staff and clerical force of the bureau with all branches of census work, thus making them all available for efficient service at any given time at the point where their work can be utilized to the best advantage. One or two of the investigations actually begun under my predecessor may be somewhat delayed by this new arrangement of the work; but all future investigations will be so scheduled that no more than one or two of them will be in progress at the same time; and the net result will be to increase greatly the speed with which future reports can be completed. The work of the Bureau of the Census naturally arranges itself into groups of investigations, as follows: Continuous, such as the compilation of the statistics of immigration (recently transferred to this bureau by your order); and the cotton production investigation, which covers nine months of the year. Miscellaneous, including such special reports or investigations as may be ordered by the President, by the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, or by Congress, as the compilation of the Philippine census and the compilation of the statistics of the classified service of the United States, recently undertaken by your order. Annual, such as the statistics of births and deaths in registration areas, provided for by the act establishing the permanent Census Bureau. Biennial, such as the statistics of cities. Quinquennial, such as the census of manufactures. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
