The object of the Supplemental Schedule is to furnish material not only for a complete enumeration of the insane, 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) of every insane person found, from Schedule No. 1 to this Special Schedule, and proceed to ask the additional questions indicated in the headings of the several columns.

Enumerators may obtain valuable hints as to the number of the insane, and their residence, from physicians who practice medicine in their respective districts.

Listed by column, the Insane Schedule collected the following information:

Number taken from Schedule No. 1.
1. Number of page.
2. Number of line.

3. Name.

Residence when at home.—(See note A.)
4. City or Town.
5. County (if in same State, or State (if in some other State).

6. If now an inmate of an institution, is this person a pay-patient?

7. Form of Disease. (See note B.)

History of attack. (See note C.)
8. Duration of present attack, (not including previous attacks.)
9. Total number of attacks, (including the present one.)
10. Age at which first attack occurred.

Restraint and Seclusion.—(See note D.)
11. Does this person require to be usually or often kept in a cell or other apartment under lock and key, either by day or at night?
12. Does this person require to be usually or often restrained by any mechanical appliance, such as a strap, strait-jacket, etc.? and if yes, state the character of the appliance used.

15. Date of discharge (year only).

See Note F.
16. Is this person also an epileptic?
17. Is this person suicidal?
18. Is this person homicidal?

NOTE A.—An insane person may be found either at his own home or away from it in some institution, such as a hospital, asylum, or poor-house. In the latter case, his residence when at home must be stated, in order that he may be accredited to the State or county to which he properly belongs, and that the county in which the institution is situated may not be charged with more than its due proportion of insane.

NOTE B.—It is not necessary to make minute subdivisions, but to ascertain the number suffering from certain marked forms of insanity—mania, melancholia, paresis (general paralysis), dementia, epilepsy or dipsomania.

NOTE C.—An insane person may have more than one attack of insanity: he may recover and afterward become again insane. It is important to know at what age the first attack occurred; how many distinct attacks the patient has had; and the duration of the present attack. If he has not had more than one attack, which still continues, insert the figure "1" in column 9. The duration of the present attack may be stated in years or months, thus: "1 yr." or "3 mos."

NOTE D.—The object of the inquiries in columns 11 and 12 is to ascertain approximately the proportion of the insane who cannot be trusted with their personal freedom. In column 11, if the patient is usually or often locked in a room or other apartment in the day-time, say "yes;" if not, say "no;" but if locked at night and not by day, say "night." In column 12, if usually or often mechanically restrained, state the mode of restraint, thus: strait-jacket, camisole, muff, strap, hand-cuffs, ball and chain, crib-bed, etc. If, instead of mechanical restraint, the patient has a constant personal attendant, say "attendant."

NOTE E.—In column 13 name all the hospitals or asylums for the insane (not jails or poor-houses) in which the patient has been for a longer or shorter time an inmate, and in column 14 state the entire number of months or years spent in such institutions (whether in one institution or more).

NOTE F.—In making entries in columns 16, 17, and 18, an affirmative mark only will be used, thus: /.

The object of this Supplemental Schedule is to furnish material not only for a complete enumeration of the idiots, but for an account of their condition. It is important that every inquiry respecting each case be answered as fully as possible. Enumerators will, there, after making the proper entries upon the Population Schedule (No. 1), transfer the name (with Schedule page 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.

The word "idiot" has a special meaning which it is essential for every enumerator to know. An idiot is a person the development of whose mental faculties was arrested in infancy or childhood before coming to maturity. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the stupidity which results from idiocy and that which is due to the loss or deterioration of mental power in consequence of insanity. The latter is not true idiocy, but dementia or imbecility. The enumeration desired for the Census is of true idiots only. Demented persons should be classed with the insane.

Enumerators may obtain valuable hints as to the number of idiots, and their residences, from physicians who practice medicine in their respective districts.

Listed by column, the Idiot Schedule collected the following information:

Number taken from Schedule No. 1.
1. Number of page.
2. Number of line.

3. Name.

Residence when at home.—(See Note A.)
4. City or Town
5. County (if in same State, or State (if in some other State).

6. Is this person self-supporting, or partly so? (See Note B.)

7. Age at which idiocy occurred. (See Note C.)

8. Supposed cause of idiocy (if acquired). (See Note D.)

9. Size of head. (Large, small, or natural.)

Training School
10. Has this person ever been an inmate of a training school for idiots? If yes, name the said training school.
11. What has been the total length of time spent by him (or her) during life in any such training school or training schools.
12. Date of discharge (Year only).

See Note E.
13. Is this person also insane?
14. Is he (or she) also blind?
15. Is he (or she) also deaf?
16. Is he (or she) also an epileptic?
Is he (or she) paralyzed? and if yes, on which side?
     17. Right.
     18. Left.

NOTE A.—An idiot may be found either at his own home or away from it in some institution, such as a training school, asylum, or poor-house. In the latter case, his residence when at home must be stated, in order that he may be accredited to the State or county to which he properly belongs, and that the county in which the institution is situated may not be charged with more than its due proportion of idiots.

NOTE B.—If self-supporting, say "yes;” if partly self-supporting, say "partly;" if not, say "no." Indicate all inmates of institutions who are maintained or treated at their personal expense (not at the expense of any town, county, or State, nor of the institution) by the word "Pay."

NOTE C.—If an idiot from birth, say "B;" if idiocy occurred after birth, state the age at which it occurred. Special pains should be taken to indicate all idiots from birth.

NOTE D.—The causes of idiocy are such as the following: scarlet fever, measles, meningitis, etc., blow on head, fall, etc., fright, etc.

NOTE E.—In making entries in columns 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18, an affirmative mark only will be used, thus: /.

The object of this Supplemental Schedule is to furnish material not only for a complete enumeration of deaf-mutes, 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) of every deaf-mute found, from Schedule No. 1 to this Special Schedule, and proceed to ask the additional questions indicated in the headings of the several columns. Care must be taken not to enumerate persons who are deaf only (hard of hearing) or dumb only (tongue-tied) as deaf-mutes. A deaf-mute is one who cannot speak, because he cannot hear sufficiently well to learn to speak.

Enumerators may obtain valuable hints as to the number of deaf-mutes, and their residences, from physicians who practice medicine in their respective districts, also from school-teachers.

Great assistance may be derived from questions addressed to deaf-mutes themselves: Do you know any deaf-mutes in this neighborhood? The class feeling of the deaf and dumb, arising from their isolated state, is so great that they seek each other out for the sake of companionship, and ordinarily know every deaf-mute for miles around.

Listed by column, the Deaf-Mute Schedule collected the following information:

Number taken from Schedule No. 1.
1. Number of page.
2. Number of line.

3. Name.

Residence when at home. (See Note A.)

8. Supposed cause of deafness, if known.

See Note D.
9. Is this person semi-mute?
10. Is he (or she) semi-deaf?

Institution life.
11. Has this person ever been an inmate of an institution for deaf-mutes? If yes, name the name of such institution.
12. What has been the total length of time spent by him (or her) in any such institution?
13. Date of his (or her) discharge (Year only).

See Note E.
14. Is this person also insane?
15. Is he (or she) also idiotic?
16. Is he (or she) also blind?

NOTE A.—A deaf-mute may be found either at his own home or away from it in some institution, asylum, or poor-house. In the latter case, his residence when at home must be stated, in order that he may be accredited to the State or county to which he properly belongs, and that the county in which the institution is situated may not be charged with more than its due proportion of deaf-mutes.

NOTE B.—If self-supporting, say "yes;” if partly self-supporting, say "partly;" if not, say "no." Indicate all inmates of institutions who are maintained or treated at their personal expense (not at the expense of any town, county, or State, nor of the institution) by the word "Pay."

NOTE C.—If a deaf-mute from birth, say "B;" if not, state the age at which deafness occurred. Special pains should be taken to indicate all deaf-mutes from birth.

NOTE D.—The word "semi-mute" has a technical meaning,  and denotes a deaf-mute who lost his or her hearing after having acquired at least a partial knowledge of spoken language. Some semi-mutes retain the ability to speak imperfectly, others lose it entirely. If a deaf-mute has ever learned to speak, he is a semi-mute; (unless he was artificially taught to speak in an institution for deaf-mutes.)

By a semi-deaf person is meant one who cannot hear sufficiently well to comprehend what is said to him; but who hears very loud sounds, such as thunder, etc.

NOTE A.—A blind person may be found either at his own home or away from it in some institution, asylum, or poor-house. In the latter case, his residence when at home must be stated, in order that he may be accredited to the State or county to which he properly belongs, and that the county in which the institution is situated may not be charged with more than its due proportion of the blind.

NOTE B.—If self-supporting, say "yes;” if partly self-supporting, say "partly;" if not, say "no." Indicate all inmates of institutions who are maintained or treated at their personal expense (not at the expense of any town, county, or State, nor of the institution) by the word "Pay."

NOTE C.—If blind from birth, say "B;" if not, state the age at which blindness occurred. Special pains should be taken to indicate all persons blind from birth.
