Changed

There are currently two Teacher categories in canonical occupations: Teacher, 13320 and Teacher, 13340. According to HISCO guide, 13320 = First-Level Education Teacher and 13340 is not listed in the guide or the HISCO database.

Changed Professor, 13350, to University or Higher Education Teacher, Subject Unknown, 13100: “Conducts courses of instruction at the third level of education, subject unknown.” (133 prefix puts it under primary school educators. HISCO professor linked to 13100)

Changed Teacher, 13320 to First-Level Education Teacher, 13320 as per HISCO

Changed Teacher, 13340 to Teacher, Level and Subject Unknown, 13000.

Changed Livery Stable Keeper, 51090 to Working Proprietor (Hiring Out), 41040: “Conducts a business by hiring services and vehicles.” as per HISCO

Moved occupations linked to Grocer, 41040 to Working Proprietor as per HISCO.

Deleted Grocer.

Changed Superintendent of Police, 58230 to Detective, 58230 as per HISCO (detective includes Private Detective). Deleted Police Detective, 58201 as this category is now covered by Detective, 58230.

Superintendents of Police should now link to Government Administrator, 20210 as per HISCO.

Changed Railway Labourer, 97130 to Railway and Road Vehicle Loader as per HISCO: “Loads and unloads goods, material or equipment carried in railway wagons truck and other vehicles.” (Railway Porter links here)

Changed Mattress Maker, 81960 to Mattress Maker, 79640 as per HISCO. Added Smoking-Pipe Maker, 81960: “Makes smoking pipes and cigar and cigarette holders in wood and kindred materials, using hand or power tools” as per HISCO

Changed Pottery Labourer, 89290 to Other Potters and Related Clay and Abrasive Formers, 89290: “This group includes potters and related clay and abrasive formers not elsewhere classified, for example those who operate a hand press to mould clay bricks and tiles; smooth and trim pottery with hand tools; prepare clay blocks for use in presses; drill holes in clay ware; or operate machines to cut strips of clay into bricks or tiles” as per HISCO (Pipe Maker links here)

Changed Piano Tuner, 94180 to Musical Instrument Tuner, 94180 as per HISCO: “Tests and adjusts musical instruments, such as pianos and organs, to produce correct tones and keep instrument in good condition.”

Problems

Student is currently 19990 in the database. According to HISCO 19990 is “Other Professional, Technical and Related Workers Not Elsewhere Classified” which I need to create to place shippers into (as per HISCO), but there is no HISCO number for student. Students with a specific profession like Law Student, Engineering Student etc are classified under their respective professions like Lawyer, Engineer etc. “Student” is assigned -1 or 99999 in HISCO. Classifying students under the field they're studying isn't always possible because some attestations only list “student”. The word “student” is not used in the Outline of HISCO structure document. Unsure of how to proceed.

-> Discussion about creating a new, non conflicting category for student and assigning students to careers as possible i.e. Agriculture Student to Farming, Engineering Student to Engineer etc.

Misc Notes

Pumpman could be mine (Hillcrest Mine Disaster) or ship related

No listing for Stock Keepers on HISCO. On HISCO Store Keeper = Storeroom Clerk, so could Stock Keeper = Stock Clerk?

Presser could be oil presser, glass presser, pottery presser, a pulp related presser or printing presser.
-> link to all possibilities?

HISCO puts President under General Manager, 21110

Physical Trainer = Physical Instructor. Physical Trainer Definition as per HISCO: “Instructs students and other persons in development and maintenance of their own physical fitness by means of gymnastic and other exercises”

-> “moniteur de culture physique” links to Physical Trainer on HISCO

Start on Page 18 next time.
