April 30, 1924. On the other map, the distribution of dots represents the legal residences of 485 examiners if they were apportioned to population. The pie is perhaps as good a scheme as there is for showing in a single figure the relation of the different parts to each other and to the whole. Turning to the "pie" chart it will be noted that there are many lines radiating from the center forming pie cuts. Each cut represents a state. The size of a state cut represents the number of examiners from that state. In each cut will be noticed bands of varying widths. It is to be noted that it is the width of each band and not the total area of the band which indicates the relative number of examiners in the five different groups. These five groups are, as shown in the Ohio cut: Principle Examiners and Law Examiners; First Assistants; Second Assistants; Third Assistants; Fourth Assistants. It will be noted that the rim of the pie is divided differently from the body of the pie. The rim is divided into state bands. The length of each state's band corresponds to that state's examiners, if the 485 examiners were apportioned to population. In both the body of the pie and the rim of the pie, the several states follow in the same order, making it possi ble to compare in the case of each state, what is and what might be. These charts have proved interesting to the writer and it is hoped they will prove interesting to others. It is suggested that another set of charts compiled a year from now would prove interesting to indicate if there would be any difference in the relative sizes of the pie cuts and rim bands, then and now. |
