INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEALING WITH HOUSEHOLD BUDGET FORM B 6.
1. Select the household with one or more wage-earners for which you can
give the most reliable particulars. You can choose any type of household
you think fit, it does not matter whether it be a household even of
twenty or even of one, whether comfortably off or poorly off, with many
children or with few or no children, with several wage-earners or with
only one, with no men, with no women, with a visitor, with a servant,
etc., provided the household chosen is one of the wage-earning class.
This will ensure that taking the country as a whole the budgets will
represent every day conditions and avoid anything exceptional.
2. If you select a household with a plot or garden in which food is
produced, or one with fowl or pigs, etc., a note to this effect should
be made under "Observations."
3. Make no statement which would identify the household for which you
send an account; as a further precaution the individual returns will be
treated as strictly confidential--your figures will be used only in
totting them with figures in a large number of other budgets in order to
arrive at averages, etc.
