1880 Supplemental Schedule 8, for the Defective, Dependent, and Delinquent Classes

Pauper and Indigent
The object of this Supplemental Schedule is to furnish material not only for a complete enumeration of paupers, 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 page and number) to this Special Schedule, and proceed to ask the additional questions indicated in the headings of the several columns.

In case any person enumerated on this Special Schedule is blind, deaf and dumb, insane, or idiotic (see columns 25 to 28 inclusive), the particulars of such case will also be carried on such other Special Schedule, as
the case may be.

In addition to the enumeration of paupers required in this Schedule, enumerators will also ask the keeper of every institution designed for the maintenance of the destitute the questions found below, at the bottom of the page, respecting the number of paupers during the year ending May 31, 1880, and record the answers.
