The amount of product indicated by a single dot should be such that the dots will be placed quite close together in the regions of greatest density. Professor H. C.

Fre COMPABATIVE PlCTOGRAMS quently, the composition of the number is also represented by the shading of the bar as illustrated in Fig. 2. This has the advantage of bringing the whole study into one diagram and the disadvantage that all the sections, except the first, are rendered rather difficult of exact comparison since they do not originate or terminate on the same straight line. The plan may be modified by making a separate set of bars for each group. For the illustration of more complex mathematical relationships, the use of bars is usually insufficient. It is necessary in such cases to resort to figures of two or three dimensions. Fig. 3 represents a comparison of the hourly wage, length of working day, distribution of expenditures of the workers, and ...
