Permanent 3. A permanent advance of Rs. 200 was sanctioned by Government in a:ivance. their Memo. No. 166-F. N., dated 12th July '1920, to meet 'petty contingent expenses of .the Census Office. Of this advance Rs. 100 were subsequently allotted. to my Deputy Superintendent, during ·the ex~stence of a separate Abstraction Office. . 4. The Census Office was started with a 'Heaa Clerk deputed from the EstabliSh· Chief Oommissioner's Office, one Jemadal' and one Orderly. The 'Head Clerk ment. was paid a monthly deputation allowance of Rs. 16:6-5 in addition to his subs­ tantive pay whicll amounted to Rs. 82 to start with. A second clerk was employed on Rs. 40-5-50 with effect from 28th August 1921. The Oensus Superint~ndent should have the advantage of a good trained clerk .to assist him in starting the work. The clerical work is light in the beginning, no doubt, but great care is needed in the details of organisation, .and 2 CRAPTER I.

it is necessary to hnve a responsible official in charge of tbe Office from start­ to finish. In the initial stages, he can be employed to do the translation work, which is both difficult and important, and to look after the small a!llount of correspo ndence, single-handed.· , Printing. 5. The printing of forms of all kinds was done at the Mufid-i-Am Press, Lahore. The Provincial Census Code, both English and Vernaoular, was printed at the Peshawar Civil and Military Steam Press, which also printed circulars and important letters from time to time. The printing of the Part II of the Report consisting of Imperial and Pr_ovincial Tables, was entrusted to the Caxton Press, a local press, while the first part of the Report was printed at the Government Press. Binding. 6. The binding of the Report bas been executed by the Government Press at the rate of 11 annas per copy, the material being supplied by me.

ENUMERATION. Date of 7. The recent Census was -taken on the night between the 18th and 19th Census. lIarch 1921. The date was fixed by the Census Commissioner with reference to many considerations applicable to the country at large, and it was hardly suitable so far as this Province was concerned. The Rabi instalment of Revenue is the more important one in this Province and practically the whole of the Dera Ismail Khan district is under fluctuating assessment which has to be ascertained by crop ~nspection. The Patwaris who have to do this work, aro also the mainstay of the preliminary operations connected with Enumeration. The Habi Girdawari commences on 15th February in Dera Ismail Kban, on 15th March in Peshawar and on 1st March in other districts. The Patwaris and Kanungos have to spend the month preceding the date of final Enumera­ tion on Census work, and tbe preparation of final totals keeps them engaged at least a week ,more. The result is that the crop inspection work is interfered with and the subordinate revenue agency is expected to be doing two important works at one and the same time, with the inevitable consequence that both Buffe).' to some extent. Takillg all the circumstances into consideration, a date in the third week of February will, perhap~, be the most suitable for this Province. The Patwaris and Kanungos will have in that case time to finish nIl the work oonnected with Enumeration by the time the Girdawari usually begins. The only difficulty to be oombated will be the extreme cold in the higher hills of Ha~ara, where late snowfalls may prevent access to certain tracts, But special arrangements can be made for· the Census of such areas by day as was done, in some cases, eyen on the present occasion. Drafting and tra.nslation. S. The first thing to be ,done in connection with the Census was the drafting of the Provincial Census Code on tbe basis of the principles laid down in the Imperial Census Code. But to inaugurate work in the district.s and agencies, a circular lett.er giving a brief survey of all the stages of work con­ nected with the Enumeration was issued in the beginning of May. This was followed, three months later, by the distribution of the copies in Engl.sh of the first two Chapters of the Provinoial Code of Census Procedure (Provisional) in order to explain more fully the action that had to be taken at eaoh stage of the operations. It was not, however, till tbe beginning of August that the Ur.du oopies of the fit'st two chapters were distributed in "the districts. The English and Urdu copies of the remaining chapters of the Code as well as appendices wero issued to the district.s by the. beginning of December. The complete final print of Part I of the Code, relating to Enumeration, was sent out in January 1921. A separate manual was issued for the use of Charge Supel'intendents and Supervisors, containing iust,ructions regarding the work to be done by the Enumerators, Supervisors and Charge Superintendents. One copy was supplied to each Oharge Superintendent and Supe~vjsor. In addition to these printed publications, a sufficient number of copies of each important circular and letter was sent to each Deputy Commissioner, Political Agent, District Census Officer and Tahsildal:. ENUMEll.ATION.

9. Enumeration was done mostly in Urdu a.nd the bulk -of the The wo~k Enumeration forms were, therefore, printed in the Persian charaoters. The Household Book forms. Schedules intended for European and Anglo-Indian households were, however, printed in English and arrangements were also made to provide English forms to British Regiments. Enumeration forms were not printed in any other language or charaoters. Some Gurkha Regiments wanted Eindi forms, but the demand was mane too late to ensure complianoe. At the next Census I would advise the printing of a sufficient number of forms to meet the. requit'ements of the Gurkha popUlation which oan be easily ascertained through the Deputy Commissioners and Political Agents concerned. 10. In order to ensure the timely and simultaneous oompletion of the Date-sheet ond Progress different stages of work, a date-sheet was drawn up and circulated for guidance, Report. with a view to l'emind the officers concerned of the date of completion of each branch of the work. The dates were not always strictly adhered to, but on the whole, these date-sheets admirably answered the purpose for which they were intended. The District Officers were required to send in periodical progress report to show how the work was getting on. From the beginning of Census operations up till the end of January, these re'ports were to be submitted twice a month, but after the commencement of preliminary Enumeration they were called for weekly. As thcy have been found very useful in !practice, in order to facilitate reference at the next Clensus, I give below the Date·sheet as issued at the present Census, as well as the form of the Progress Report ;- CENSUS 1921.

Th.e suhmission of the Progress Reports was not unoften delayed con­ siderably. Some of them w.ere received. four. and. five weeks later than the due datos. Steps should be tak~;n from the very beginning to ensure their prompt submission. Control of 11. The general control of the 'Enumeration work was in a district the Enumeration entrusted to the Deputy Commissioner and in. 11~ agency to the Political work in the Agent. The Revenue Extra Assistant Commissioners were generally appointed Districts and Agencies. District Cflnsus Officers and the Sub-Divisional Officers, whether Assistant .commissioners or Extra Assistant \ Commissioners, were made responsible for Census work in the Sub-Divisions_ For Municipal ·towns, Secretaries to the respective :Municipal Commitf,ees assisted the DIstrict Census Officers or acted independently as City Census Offioers, under the oruors of the Deputy Com­ missioners. This arrangement was'the best that'could be made and it worked )",e11 in practice. In each case the officer concerned was at the head of tho Revenue or other ngency through which the Census work had to ~be carried out, and being in close touch with the people in his charge, could easily command unofficial help. ENUMERATION. 5 12. The brunt of the work as usual fell upon the Revenue staff who Cen3US did yeoman's service throughout the Oensus operations. A few Police offioers agenoy. and a considerable number of Sohool Masters also did useful work. The non­ officials, as a rule, treated it mOre or less as an unnecessary and unremunera­ tive impressment. There were, ot course, notable exceptions, but they were few and far between. The Railway Department rendered whole-hearted co­ operation. Statement No. I appended to this chapter shows the agency employed on enumeration and thl3 preliminary operations. Altogether 125 Oharge Superintendents and 1,157 Supervisors, assisted by 13,432 Enumerators, conducted the Final Census. :Most of the Enumerators in the rural tracts were Patwal'is and in the urban areas non-officials. The bulk of the Charge Superintendents and Supervisors came from the official classes. On the whole the supervision, both in the rural and urban tracts, was efficient. 13. There is only one point to be noticed in oonnection with the Preparation of village preparation of village and town registers. Towns arc sometimes made up of and town two or more estates. Much difficulty was experienced for want of this detail registers. in checking Register A and compiling figures,relating to towns for the Village Tables. In order to ensure correct popUlation of the area constituting a town, it is necessary to prepare before hand, a list showine the numbers and names of the estates which are included in each town. The Deputy Oommissioners may be asked to fill in and submit the following form. A copy of this list should be supplied to the Copying and Abstraction Office for guidance. List of the towns showing the vjllages and estates which lie within the limits of each :-

14. Instructions regarding the formation of Census Divisions are given Forma.tion of Census in Chapter II of the Provincial Code of Census Procedure. As to rural areas, DivisioDs. a. certain latitude was allowed to the District Officers, the number of houses being taken as the chief basis. In practice, however, it was found that the K~nungo's circle forme~ the most conyenient chal:g~ !lnd this ~hould in my opinion be made a rule In the future, Instead of dIVIdIng a TahSIl by thanas. The Patwari's oircle should invariably be treated as a Census circle. Excep­ tionally large Charges or Oircles can be specially treated and an assistant given to the Charge Superintendent or Supervisor. In the towns, division by Wards and Mohallas does very well, but the Charge Superintendent should, if possible, be always an official assisted, in large towns, by selected Municipal Commissioners. The responsibility must) however, be the offioial's. 6 CHAPTBR I: In some 1>laces, t4e numbering of circles was'llot consecutive throughout the tahsil or town. This was oontrary to the instructio~ and caused . inconvenience in tabulation. The largest number of houses to be included in a block w~s fixed at 50. The scarcity oJ Enumerators in rural areas necessitated sometimes the' raising of this limit. The same difficulty was, however, overcome by putting one Enumerator in oharge of two blocks. In rural tracts, tbe Patwaris generally prepared the whole Preliminary Record and the Enumerators were called upon simply to verify the ent ries on the Final Census night and to make the necessary additions and alterations. In these circumstanoes, blocks consisting of more than the maximum prescrib~d num-ber of houses made no practical difference, exoept where the houses were scattered about. In the towns, again, the olose proximity of houses to one another can enable an Enumerator to look after more than 50 houses, but it is hardly safe to go beyond the prescribed limit, as the Poon-official Enumerator has little time and less inclination for the Oensus work which is honorary. House· 15. The definition of" House" has been discussed in paragraph f6 of numbering. the Report. The period fixed for house· numbering was between October 15th and November 15th, 1920. In villages it was to be done by th~ Patwaris and in towns by the Supervisors concerned. The numbers ran in a oonvenient series' through each village or ward and were given in the order in whioh it was most convenient for the Enumerators to go round their blocks on the Census night. They ran oonsecutively through each block, as well as serially through the village or ward. Concurrently with the numbering of the houses which was done with chalk at first, Supervisors (in villages Patwari!l) wrote up the House Lists of which the necessary forms had already been issued to the Supervisors along with their le~ters of appointment. '1'he House Lists which were in the same form as Block Lists were to be oompleted by the 15th November. Painted numbers were affixed to each house after the House Lists were completed and sanctioned by the Charge Superintendents. House-numbering is a very important operation, and much of the success of preliminary as well as final enumeration depends upon its accuracy. Its completion by 15th November was insisted upon, but in no district except Bannu it was carried out by the due Raunn November 15th. date. The statement in the margin HaZRrB November 30th. Pelhawar '" ... December,15th. shows the dates on which House­ Dera Ismail K haD ... l)ccem ber 31 bt. ... Jalluary 16th. numbering was completed in each district Kahat of the Province. Kohat and Dera Ismail Khan were the most dilatory districts in the matter of House-numbering. Steps should be taken at the next Census -to ensure that House-nuIT.bering is everywhere completed in the period fixed for it. The Census Superintendent should make it a point to visit every district as wdl as tahsil head .. q uarters during the month of October and see that necessary arrangements are made for this first important stage in Census operations.

The method 16. In 1911, in a large number of cases, numbers were affixed on doors of fixing or shutters with the result that if these were open, no numbers could be seen. numbers. In order to guard against a similar tendency the followinO' ;m:t·"ll~Uons were issued :- " The number, must be easily seen. A white square should be pa.inted on the ~all near the door-post, under the shelter of the eaves if possible, and on this number should be painted in some distinctive colour. A door or a shutter is not a good place to put the number as, when these are open, the number is not easily seen. In previous Censuses it has been found a good plan to paint a number in red (' Geru ' mixed with water on ~ white square - of lime wash), but whatever material is selected should be_ readily procurable on the spot and sho~ld not be suoh as to arouse any religious prejudice." The instructions were, on the whole, well attended to and numbers were generally affixed iu conspicuous plac~s, where they could be easily seen. ENUMERATION~ 7 17. After the houses were numbered and the House Lists prepared, the Delimitation of blocks Supervisor made a final distribution into blocks of the heuses in each village snd or Ward and noted in the remarks column of his circle register the number of submission of Revised the first and the last house assigned to each Enumerator. The delimitation of Abstraot blocks and the submission of rdvised Abstract Cha!'ge Registers to the Census Charge Superintendent was unduly delayed on account of house-numbering being not Registers. oarried out in time, which interfered a good deal with the printing and distrihu­ tion of Census forms in the districts. All this could easily have been avoided, if the Census Superintendent had been able to make a tour in the Province in October. 18. The Preliminary Enumeration began on February 10th in villages The Preliminary and a fortnight later in tOWllS, the date of completion being 1st March in the Enumeration. former and 13th March in the latter. In paragraph 4, Chapter V, of Lhe Provincial Census Code, it was laid down that the Ennmerators should pr('pare the original record on blank papor and have it corrected before copying it on to the printed forms. The Enumerators, both Patwaris and others, generally complied with theso instructions, with good results. I give below a few remarks and suggestions about the fillil1g up of the Schedules, based upon the difficulties experienced and the course vrhich was adopted to solve them :- Coll~mn 9.-In the instructions to Enumerators, the order in which the names in earh house shouLd be entered, ought to be la.id down. fl'his would assist greatly in correctiug' mistakfls and supplying omissions in the Copying Office with the help of the Enumeration books.

Coll~mn 4.-The Enumerator should not ask an illiterate person H What is your religion" but the question should be "Are yon a llindu, Sikh Musalman, .Tain or Christian, etc." Ignorant people, especially menial classe~ like Chubras, Ohamars and Dhobis often state their caste, sub-caste, sect or othEJr minor division thereof, instead of religion. Oolumn B.-A caste index, both in English and Vernacular, was printed and distributed in January and the Enumerators were distincily enjoined to enter only the main castes and tribes, sub-castes and sub-divisions of tribes. except in the case of Pathans, being not required. Inspite of these instruc­ tions, sub-castes and sub-di visions of tribes. instead of main castes and tribes, were not infrequeutly entereu and this gave some trouble ill the Tabulation Office. In Part I of Appendix: B all the entries returned have been arranged alphabetically and the names of tbe main castes and tribes under which each of them was classified in Table xur has heen noted against it. Part II shows the main castes and tribes classified in Table XIII as well as the actual entries made in the caste column of the Schedule thrown iuto each of them. Columns 9 to l1.-The people who make and sell certain articles sbould be entered as "makers" and not as "senors." The Enumerators should be instructed to specify the name of the article which a trader deals in, or the nature of the work of which he is a contractor. The instructions for avoiding vague terms were often ignored. A distinction should be made between "Servic~ of the State" and "Service of Indian and }'oreign States" as well as "Munioipal and other 10cdl service" (Groups 161, 162 and 163), which is frequently ignored, The word " ~jll""" entered in the Schedule may mean any of these services. To the word" Chowkidar" should be added "village" or "private" (Groups 160 and 180). In the case of men playing on musjcal instruments, a distinction should be drawn between military and non-military (Groups 155 and 178). llirers of pack animals should not be mixed with those of animals used for riding purposes (Groups 116 and 146). III the case of wood-sell('rs, it shoul(l be stated whether tlHly sell fud or wood for built-ing puposes (Groups 125 and 1,17). As to labourers on earth-work, the department to which they beloDP' should be spccifi:lc1, e {J Roads, Railw'ays, Canal, ctc. (Gror..ps 11~ and 187). i:I -CttA.PTER 7t. The entry" Shopkeeper," "Oommission agents" and "Agriculturists" were not infrequently made without any qualifi.cation. The articles. in which .a shopkeeper or a commission agent deals, should invariably be specified and in the case of agriculturists a distinction should be made betweerl "Oulti vatol" and" Rent receiver.~' ,. '. Oolumn 12.-An alphabetical list of (i) Districts and States in the Provinces of India and other countries was Ill'inted in botp. English and Vcrnn­ cular and circulated to Oharge Superintendents and Supervisors, with a view to ensure the accuraoy of entries ill column 12 (Birth-place) of the General Schedule. This list was also utilised in correcting mistakes in the Abstraction nnd Tabulation Office, and proved very useful in the prepardtion of Imperial Table XI. Its usefulness would be enhanced if it could include the names of all British colonies and dependencies in each country of each continent. Inspeotion of 19. It would be very useful if th6 Census Superintendent could find enuMGration time to visit the District and Tahsil head-quart 61'S in the midst of preliminary record. Enumeration. The mistakes of principle noticed in the Preliminary record can in this way be easily brought to the notice of the District Census Officers and the correctness of °the final enumeration secured. These visits of inspection can only be made if the house-numbering is completed and the Revised Abstract Charge Registers submitted to the Census Superintendent by the due date. This will enable him to ge_t printed and distributed an adequate supply of Census forms in the districts, and he will have notMng to tie him to the head-quarters while preliminary Enumeration is going on in the Provinoe. Household 20. The system of taking the Oensus among Europeans and Anglo­ Sohedules. Indians did not prove quite satisfaotory. The Indian Enumerators were, in many cases, disinclined to enter the compou!lds and leave and colled Schedules, thus causing delay. They werE! sometimes incorrectly filled and someti~es not returned promptly. The instructions were more often than not ignored or never read. I suggest that, in future, Household Schedules should be used only in exceptioD;al cases where a few European or Anglo-Indians happen to live i.n the midst of a "large Indian population and no satisfactory arrangement can be made for their en~meration on the Genfjral Sohedule. The enumeration of European and .Anglo-Indian residents should generally be entrusted to EUL'opean Enumerators who should be given ordinary Schedules printec}. in English. :Each blocJ<: containing Europeans and Anglo-Indians should have two Enumerators, an European to take the Census of EuropChns and an Indian to prepare the record for their Indian servants. Final 21. 'By the Government Notificntion, No. 283-G. N., dated the 1st Enumeration. luly 1920, the 18th and 19th March 1921 were notified as holidays for public offices and Oourts in the North-West Frontier Province, jn order to facilitate Oensus operations. The 20th of March was a Sunday. The three ho"Hdays were very useful for preparations for the Final Census as well as for the compilation of the Provincial Totals. No fair or religious gathering fell on ihe date fixed for the final Oensus except the Friday fairs in Bannu and Lakki towns, which were postponed. Proclamations were issued every where asking people to avoid fixing the night of the Oensus for weddings and other social or religious ceremonies, and to stay awake with a light burning, until the Enumerator should have visited them. By the morning of the 18th Maroh 1921 the Preli'minary Record had been completed and checked and all arrangements for the final Oensus completed. Supervising officers had carefully laid out their plans for visiting as m~ny Enumerators as they possibly could during the first half of the Oensus mght, and the final Census was carried out most admirably, without any untoward event like rain, etc., interfering with its thoroughness or reliability.

Industrial 27. The Census of factories amI other large industrial establishments, Census. in which ten or more persons are commonly employed, was taken at mid-day on the 25th April. A special form of Schedule, prescribed by tho Oensns Oommissioner for India, which bas been placed with the collections of printed matter in the papers preserved for the Ilext Census, "ias sent hefore the 25th March to all owners and managers of the factories and establisbments concerned, for being filled up by. the fixeu. datc.

The figures o'btained are exhibited iIi the Imperial Table XXII, and [\ reference to it will show how industrially backward the North-tVest Frontier Pro"incc is. Aithough tbe work involved in filling up the Schedules was almost nominal, the record prepared by the managers was far from satisfnctory and in some instances Schedules had to be returned or further reference had to be made before the required information was obtained.

These applications were rejected by me, but it is possible they may prove successful in the districts, where the Oensus Schedules are originally prepared and, in oruer to guard against this contingency, I have destroyed the Enumeration Books and at the next Oensus it would be advisable to print a note on every Oover and General or Household Schedule to the effect, that the information contained therein is strictly confidential and that no copies of the entries made in them may be given or produ;:Jed in evidence. - ENUMEltA'rioN. is I >0 I : I: I .

SLIP OOPYING.

Organisation. 35. The question of District V81'SU8 Central offices for Slip~copying is discussed in paragraph 1 of ,Ohapfer II of the In!perial Oensus Oode, Pa. t II. lt was suggested that sorting 'should be carried out in Oentral Offices, but where possible, Slip-copying sbould be done at the District or even 'l'ahsil head .. quarters, under the supervision of Reve,nue Qfficers. In. tbis Province, where the 'popuTatjon to be dealt with js so small, and so baclprard in eduoation, it was not considered advisable tQ entr,p.st the work of Slip-copying, on whioh the men .lTI~stly Patwal'is.. but the number actually present in the office varied from time to Hrrie and never exceeded 140. They were gronped in 1~ gangs of ten men each, but the numher of absentees on account of sickne!W or otherwise, was always considerable. Men were always moving from one gang to another. Those, who were not Pqtwari~, were pa~d Rs~ 25 per mensem. It was in comparatil'ely few CR.,ses that Oopyist&- co.uld, be engaged on piece-work system. - Complete information on the question of the establishment employed, from time to time, for Abstmction and Tabuilltion Office will be found in - Appendix B, at the ep.d of tbis volume. ]n addition to the general.staff, one Copyist was entertained on Rs. 40 a month to copy the entries on English Schedules. rIhe menial staff attached to !the offioe consisted of one sweeper, two wat~r-~Jarriers, two chaprasis and one chaulddar.. ~ Date of 37. The work of Slip-copying began on 1st April 1921. By that dato commence­ ment of Enumeration books for the Peshawar district had been recei-ved.. For the first work and ten day~, the, whole superior staff was bijsy in checking and arranging the­ furniture provided. :Enumerl;ttiQn books. Wooden shelves w.ere fi~ed -round a large room and altoge~her 150 f~et of shelv.es, two feet wide provided Reoord-room IlQcommoda­ tion for the Enumeration books of the Pl'ovin~e. E~ch Copyist was provided with a Chatai mat, a box of pigeon-holes to put his slips in, a peucil and a. large number of slips. Chatai mats five feet by three feet were purchased locally at eight annas pel' mat. EacQ box containing 24 pigeon-holes, six horizontal1y and four vertically, cost Rs. 2-4-0. Each set contained pigeon-holes for slips of every kind, six for slips of each sex and civil condition multiplied by four, which represented the different religions. As in 11911, Musalmans '\yere represented by badami slips, hy green, Sikhs by reel, Ohristians by blue and" Others" by yellow. Pigeon-holes were prepared out of empty kerosine tin cases. 16' SLIP COPYING. 17 Despatch ot '38. A cll'(mlar was issued to Deputy Commissioners and Political Enumeration Agent,s in connection with the despatoh of Enumeration books to the Central books and their receipt Abstraction Offioe at Peshawar, with instructions that they should be very in Abstrac­ oarefully listed, invoiced and packed by some responsible official. A suggestion tion Office. was also made that they might be sent direct by the Tahsildars concerned, if that course was found morc -convenient and expeditious. In the majority of cases, however, Enumeration books for all charges were collected at the head­ quarters of districts and despatched to Abstraction Office in one consignment. It is most essential that Enumeration books should reach the Abstraction Office as SOon as possible.' They should invariably be despa.tched by pa~senger train. Eoonomy lIlay uictate otherwise, but the excess in expenuiture is lIlore than compensated by speed in transit, security in delivery and absence of risk of loss owing to damage ta the boxes by the rough handling of the portcrs in the transhipment attendant on transit by goods train. Special instructions were issued in advance to District Officers to keep in reserve the opium and stamp hoxes for despatch of Enumeration books 'l'he Enumeration books were received in good order and correct. On their receipt in the Abstraction Office they were first checked with Circle Summaries by the Record·keeper and ar,mnged on racks by districts and tahsils in the serial order of charges.

In D~ra Ismail Khan, however, where the word ..is generally used' of a cultivating proprietor, Zamindar was to be abbreviated as M. K. - Instruotions given to 40. The SupervisQl's .and Assistant S~pervisors, in addition to the Supervisors. instructions to Oopyists, were given detailed instructions printed in vernaoular (translated from the directions given in Ohapter IT, Imperial Oode of Oensus Procedure, Part II) as to the way, in which the Copyists' work was to be checked and as to-the principles on which they were to direct the filling in of columns accidentally left blank on the Sohedule. ~ Calculation 41. The daily task fixed for Copyists was the copying o~ 506 slips. Each of rewards and flnes. Copyist was paid abouD Rs. 25 per m8nsem. Assuming the average month to oontain 25 wOl'killg days, the rate of. pay given ma(1e a daily wage of a rupee a day. The method. of ~alculating.;rewal'ds and fines was a simple one. At the e,nd of a" month, e;tch Oopyist was paid. one rupee for every 500 slips copied.' This kept the Oopyists busy day and night, and most of them earned a good deal more than their fixed· monthly pay.. The ~ork was commenced on 1st Apl'il1921 and finished by 28th May 1921, and the average daily outturn per head was 673 slips. Provieion ot 42. As in 1911, the Mufid-i-Am Press of Lahore :was given the slips. conh'act for printing slips, the requirements being calculated by adding 25 per cent. to' the figures for persons of each religion, ,sex and civil condition at the Census of l~ll. Profiting by the experience of 1911, it was arranged that the bundles containing f~om 100 to 500 slips eaoh should be tied up with jute, as those fastened up in paper bands are unable to stand the jolting, which the boxes are likely to receive'in transit. . supervision 43. It is not ·difficult for the Superintendent in th·is Provinoe to of Blip-copy­ ing and the supervise, Slip-copying pl~ovided the Enumeration books are all collected and aoouraoyof tbe siips"copied, in one p1ace., Having one Tabulation Office, he is able to the results. supervise it personally. In o);'der to ena.ble me to ehe.ck the Tabqlatiou work ,dailY,as it was progressi:&g I moved the. office to a building adjoining the one SlIP COPYING. 19 in which Slip-copying was going on. I was thus in close touch with the working of the 'l'abulation Office anel was able to spend considerable Lime daily in checking its work. :Mine was a kind of general supervision to satisfy myself that the work wus progressing satisfactorily anrl. th~t the supervising officers did their duty in ensuring the accuracy of the results obtained. The brunt of th,e work of the supervision, however, fell upon Lab. Kishcn Chand, my Doputy Superintondent, nnder wbose Jircct control the Tabulation Offioe was. He worked "cry h3.rd and did all that was humanly possible to secure correct results. Entries relating to over 200,000 persor.s wert) checked by the Inspectol's and othel's. Although the mistakes disc0vcred during the earlior stages of the work amounted to 15 per 1,000, thry dwindled to 3 and even 2 pCI' mille towards thc end of it. Supervisol'S anel Assistant Supervisol'S wel'e l'esponsible for checkin~, whioh at the ouiset extended to l!VCl'y entry dealt with by Copyists; but this was gradu'111y reduced as the work progressed, and in the case of reliable workers, 5 per cent. was the minimum, but in the case of poor workers the minimum was never allowed to fall below 20 per cent. The Inspectors and the Deputy Superintendent checked a large percentage of the entries. The instructions referred to in Articles 16 and 17 of Chapter II, of the Imperial Code of Census Procedure, P~ll·t II, were generally followed. As all the Census Tables depend upon the accuracy oE the copying work, it was most essential that the checking should be as accurate as possible. Taking into considerat~on the intelligence of the staff, especially those who were not Patwaris, entertained on tbis work, and. their way of working, it will be seen that a thorough cbecking was indispensable. There were, no doubt, some good and reliable workers, but the number of such was small as compared with the whole staff. The checking work sometimes fell into arrears. In these eases, as there was no I'eserve of men to call upon for employment in the supervising staff, good and reliable Oopyists were generally employed temporarily for checking. They were only utiHzed in checking the work of gangs, which had fallen into arrears. The Inspectors wore made responsible for seeing, from time to time, and, if necessary, reporting when the arrears worc becoming excessive, and arrangements "ere made.to prevent accumulatiolls. Simultaneously, along with the checking, tho Supervisors and their .Assistants had also to sort the slips by sex and religion, when the checking for a block had been finished, and to enter the result in Register A, as prescribed in Article 19 of Chapter II, Imperial Census Code, Pal·t II. 44. When the bulk of the slips had been made up into boxes for sorting, a gang of efficient Oopyists was employed to go through the entries in the Schpuules, Il,nd find out the entries relating to infirmities. No special slip was devised for infirmities. The ordiullry slips were made use of and the follow· ing particulars were copied 011 them in the case of each infirmity found:- (a) Serial ~o. of the charge, circle, blook and pers:>n. (0) Age. (0) Caste. (d) Infirmity. The work done was carefully examined by the Supervisor and after passing the slips as correct, he sort.ed them by sex and infirmity and posted the results for each circle in Register E, which was afterwards t~talled for the charge. The daily task for these slips was fix:eJ at 150 per daYJ but t.his was found to be excessive, as much time had to be spent in turning over the pages of the Enum.eration books to find entries of infirmities and the daily task bad aocordingly to be reduced to 100 slips per day. A week or so was spent on this work. 45. Not only most of the Enumeration work in the districts, but also The em'bloy. mento! the bulk of Slip-copying, sorting and compilation in the Tabulation Office was Patwo.rill 0.8 done by Patwsl'is and they did it admirably;. in fact both in the districts and Copyia1is. the Abstra.otion Office they were almost indispensable.

The Cost of the Census.

52. Statements I and II appended to this Chapter show respectively Comparison of present the actual cost of each stage of the Uensus operations according to the Treasury expenditure accounts and the gross expenditure as shown by the Departmental accounts. with that of 'lha figures represent actual expenditure till the end of October 1922 and an 1911. estimate of the probt\hle charges of Novemher and December, but the difference of the actuals is not likply to be appreciable. The net cost of the operations, after deducting the Census receipts and recovories mnde from Municipalities, amounts to Rs. 40,848~11-10, as oQJnpared with Rs. 31,186,8-7 in 1911. In other words the Census of every 1,000 persons has cost Rs. 17'7 against Us. 14'1 in 1911. The excess in expenditure on the present occasion is much less thaTl might have been expected, the all~ round rise in prices and wagps since 1911 varying from 50 to 100 per cent. Those figures are worked out on the enumerated population of the Proyince, but if we include· also the estimated popUlation as well, the census cost per 1,000 persons of the Province is reduced to Rs. 7'9 against Rs. 8'2 in 1911 which is due to the enormous increase that has taken place in the estimated population during the last 10 years. 53. The cost of enumeration was Rs. 2,754-7-2, of Superintendenoe Actual cost of eaoh stage Rs. 14,6S7-0-S, of Abstraction and Compilation Rs. 14,011-5-4, and of Printing of opera­ and Stationery charges Rs. 13,813-11-~, the corresponding amounts for the tions. 1911 Census being Rs. 5,355-4-6, Rs. 9,521-5-7, Rs. 9,190-2-0 and Rs. 7,259-7-11 respectively. The increase in cost is noticeable under every main head except enumeration under which the oharges have considerably gone down on account of the remuneration of Census officers having gone down from Rs. 2,438-14-4 to Rs. 1,068-11-0 and the misoellaneous chargf's from Rs. 1,796-5-4 to Rs. 81-6-6. The amount recovered from ~{unicipalities rose from Rs. 717-11-9 in 1911 to Rs. 2,5 t9-3-6 at the present Census, which is due to the considerable rise in population of Municipalities during the last 10 years as well as in the rate of contribution. 54. The difference of Rs. 28,533-2-10 between the Departmental and Difference Treasury accounts, as shown in the last column of Statement II is due to the between the Departmen­ former including the substantive pay of officers and establishment deputed to tal and Treasury Census duty, while this item has been excluded from the latter. In a small . Aooounts. province like the North-West Frontier Province the difference between the two sets of figures is naturally large; the pay of the Superintendent contributes no less than Rs. 20,438-4-8 to the total amount.

. T}le fQllow~ng i,ndex was'compiled ,for the guidance ~f Supel'visor~ ,and other inspecHng officers, in s?curing corrl1ct entries in column 8 of the Oensus Scnedul"es. Ouly main castes anu tribes were to be entered in this column, and, n9t.easte' and tribal sub-:divisions. In Part A will be found the names of true castes .and tribes; in fal't B names which are not proper1y caste Or tribal names and which were Dot therefore to be entered. The Hst given in P!:!-l't A does not profess to be a fully GOniplete onc" and a c1tste or tribal name was not to be rejected merely because it finds no place there, At the same time eilquiry wa~ t.o be made in the neighbourhood before allowing the inclusion of douh'tful entries.. ,Pathans were to be recorded as far as possible as Pathan., Patban­ Bangasb, Pa~han-Bal'}nuchi, Pathan-Gadun or Jadul1, Pathau-G.b.ilzai, Patban­ , PathfLn-" Pathan-WB:zir, Pathan-Yusuizai, .etc., and not by the name of ~he or other minor ,sub-division. For insta.nce, an entry of Ali Khel or U marzaj would be wrong, as there are Ali Khel in the Ghilzai, Khattak, Mohamand, and tribes, and again Ulharzai arpong the Gl1ilzai, Yusufzai ap.Q. tribes.
