This publication was prepared by the greatest students of the question in the country at that time. This document has been accepted by Doctor Hill. of the Census Bureau. for what it is worth and much other data of similar nature. As I understand it. the first step taken by the Census Bureau to ascertain the national origin of the population was to subtract from the total population of 1920 those classes excluded by the law of 1924 which were. principally. aliens ineligible to citizenship and the descendants of slave immigrants. together with the descendants of the Indians. After this subtraction there remained a total population of 94.820.915. The next step was to determine how many of these were direct descendants of those who were here in 1790 when the first census was taken.
