 in these fields with the growth of the total number of workers in 

 all fields in Indiana during this period, it is seen that it is out

 1880 to 1890 the gro^^i:h in these fields was over 44 per cent ; from 

 1890 to 1900, 34 per cent, and from 1900 to 1910, over 64 per 

 cent. The figures presented in Table 23 give actual numbers as 

 w^ell as percentage of grow^th in all pursuits and the manufacturing
