Interviewer instructions
88. <span class="em">Age last birthday</span>. Make the entry for age at last birthday in column 10. The age of a person if over one year will be the age in completed years at the last birthday prior to June 1 1911, but in the case of a child not one year old on June 1, 1911 the age should he given in completed months expressed as twelfths of a year. Thus, the age of a child one month old should be expressed as 1/12, two months 2/12, three months 3/12, four months, 4/12, etc. If a child is not a month old the age should he expressed in days, as 5 days, 10 days, as the case may be. The age of a child who is just one year old on June 2 or any other near date following June 1, 1911 should be expressed as 11/12, because that is its age in completed months on June 1st, the day of the Census. In the case of young children it is very important that the enumerator should obtain this information and carefully record it.
