40,000,000 



3,000,000 



120,000 



15,000,000 

 35,000,000 

 17,000,000 



2,000,000* 20,000,000 

 2,000,000* 1 



* A comparison of these figures gives special food for thought, par- 

 ticularly when it is remembered that the vast majority of British 

 domestic servants were in the south of England, and that, of the persons 

 employed in agriculture, 800,000 were in Ireland ; that is, England in 

 1913 had probably nearly half-a-million more domestic servants than 

 agriculturists !
