Foot-Notes for Table 1

(a) Since mission fields are not organized in the way conferences are, the dates in column 2 do not refer to the time of their organization, as in the case of conferences, but to the time when the field was entered or when information was first separately given in these reports. The distinction between conferences and mission fields is indicated by the names assigned each in the list.

(b) The population in the United States is according to the 1910 census returns, all divisions according to county lines being figured accurately.

(d) By total laborers in column 19 is meant the total number employed in the conference or mission field in evangelistic work, including not only the four classes named in the preceding columns, but all other persons not thus specified. The totals in column 19 are not always, therefore, the totals of the four preceding columns, but are frequently greater.

(e) Estimated. A failure to receive returns from the Asiatic Division has made it necessary to estimate all the items for that field.

(f) Under General Conference are included those engaged in general labor, and not accounted for elsewhere. The amount shown in column 20 is for periodical sales, made by publishing houses, and not included in conference reports; thus making the total stated in Table 2.
