Circular iniciando la obra de la estadística del Estado

Abstract

The image contains news about the circular starting the time of state statistics, where the government wishes to undertake the very important work of founding state statistics, without intending to bring the scientific classification of its subjects to the point to which they have taken it. to the rich and populous countries of Europe and North America; because neither our resources nor our level of education and culture allow it. It is simply desired to know the most important social facts that mark the progress or decline of a country in terms of population movement, agriculture, industry, internal trade and public administration in its departments of justice, charity, instruction and finances. To achieve this result, the models of the paintings that you wish to obtain will be circulated through this secretariat; limiting itself to a classification of the most fundamental facts, and as simple, clear and easy to fill out as possible.
