1880 Supplemental Schedule 7, for the Defective, Dependent, and Delinquent Classes
The object of this Supplemental Schedule is to furnish
material not only for a complete enumeration of the prisoners, but for an
account of their condition. It is important that every inquiry respecting each
case be answered as fully as possible. Enumerators will, therefore, after making
the proper entries upon the Population Schedule (No. 1), transfer the name (with
Schedule paper and number) of every idiot found, from Schedule No. 1 to this
Special Schedule, and proceed to ask the additional questions indicated in the
headings of the several columns. In addition to the enumeration of prisoners
required in this Special Schedule, enumerators will also, in all cases (even
though there should not be any prisoners in confinement upon the first of June),
ask the warden or keeper of every prison, station-house, or lock-up in their
respective districts the questions found below, at the bottom of the page,
respecting the number of prisoners in confinement during the year ending May 21,
1880, and record the answers.
