Excerpt from The Study of Statistics in Colleges I have enumerated. With all the training of the schools, the European statistician lacks the grand opportunities which are open to the American. Nowhere has the former been able to project and carry out a Census involving points beyond the simple enumeration of the people, embracing a few inquiries relating to social conditions: such inquiries rarely extending beyond those necessary to learn the ages, places of birth, and occupations of the population. Such a Census, compared with the ninth and tenth Federal enumerations of the United States, appears but child's play.

The new school-house in Petersham, built of stone from the adjacent fields, upon a beautiful and commodious site, was the gift of natives and friends of the town. It was dedicated on the 22d of May, 1908. The occasion, which brought together the school committees, superintendents, and teachers of all the neighboring towns, was made memorable by the presence of Mr. George H. Martin, Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education, President Eliot, of Harvard University, Hon. Carroll D. Wright, President of Clark College of Worcester, and Mr. Kenyon L. Butterfield, President of the Massachusetts Agricultural College at A mherst, all of whom addressed the large audience assembled in the Unitarian church, which, unhappily, was burned in the month of September following. At the request of the School Committee, Mr. James W. Brooks acted as Chairman. The exercises began with singing by the pupils of the school, followed by prayer by the Rev. Mr. Spurr. As President Wright was obliged to leave by an early train, he was the first introduced, as follows: There occasionally appears a man of exceptional character and ability, who begins life with such profound appreciation of its opportunities and responsibilities as consecrates his labor to broad and widening fields of public service and makes the world his debtor. If he may crown his career in such relation to the young as enables him to impart to them the wealth of his gifts and attainments and the inspiration of his example, there is increasing hope for the worthy successors of whom the world stands ever in need. We all recognize such a man in the Hon. Carroll D. Wright, President of Clark College of Worcester, whom I have the pleassure of introducing to you. A pplause.

economist public official statistician
Carroll D. Wright was born on July 25, 1840, at Dunbarton, New Hampshire, the son of Nathan R. Wright and Eliza Clark. His father was a Universalist minister, and moved frequently from one charge to another.
The boy grew up principally in Washington, New Hampshire, attending the public schools and academy of that place and working on his father's farm. After further study in academies at Reading, Massachussets, Alstead, New Hampshire, and Chester, Vermont, he began reading law in 1860 with William P. Wheeler, of Keene, New Hampshire, at the same time teaching in country schools. He continued his law study in Dedham and Boston until September 1862.
Then he served in the army during the Civil War.
Wright was admitted to the New Hampshire bar in 1865 and to the Massachusetts bar two years later. He developed a rewarding practice in Boston, dealing mainly in patent law. He was elected to the Massachusetts Senate in 1871 and 1872. His major contribution as a state senator was to sponsor legislation which improved to a great extent the militia system of the state.
In 1873 Wright was appointed chief of the Massachusetts Bureau of Labor Statistics, which had been established four years earlier and was the first in the United States. As its head for 15 years during a period of radical economic change in Massachusetts and the United States itself, Wright attempted to objectively amass statistics in this area, which resulted in criticism from both employers and labor. As a result of these early experiences with partisan factions, he was determined that statistics should be gathered with as much objectivity as possible and that they should be published without regard to whether they were in the interest of one group or another. Wright tried to follow this principle throughout his subsequent life, especially through the National Convention of Chiefs and Commissioners of Bureaus of Statistics of Labor, which he organized in 1883 and served as president for almost 20 years.
Wright's own investigations and collections of data encompassed a very broad scope, dealing with wage rates, cost of living, strikes, lockouts, poverty, crime, divorce, illiteracy, housing, and labor legislation. In many of these areas his work was a pioneering effort. He was a moving force behind the establishment of the U. S. Bureau of Labor in the Interior Department. President Chester Alan Arthur appointed him the first commissioner of the new bureau, and he held the post for 20 years.
Wright was professor of statistics and social economics at Columbian University (George Washington University after 1900) and supervised the first volumes of the studies on the economic history of the United States. He was president of the American Statistical Association from 1897 to his death. He became the first president of Clark College in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1902, although he retained his post with the Bureau of Labor until 1905.
Carroll D. Wright died on February 20, 1909, in Worcester, Massachusetts.

In his own social philosophy, evident in his many works, Carroll D. Wright specifically denied and abhorred the view that there was an inevitable class conflict between capital and labor. Instead, he urged voluntary cooperation, tolerance, and social responsibility for employers.
In 1867, Carroll D. Wright became a member of the Massachusetts and United States' bars. Wright was elected a member of the American Antiquarian Society in 1893. In 1903, he was made a member of the Douglas Commission. He was a member of the Institute of France and an honorary member of the Imperial Academy of Science of Russia.
On January 1, 1867, Carroll D. Wright married Caroline E. Harnden. Two daughters were born to them.
