Census Questions.

The object OF the federal census are
o. three kinds: To furnish basis for
tie apportionment of Representatives
il he lower house of Congress; to as
Gel lain the growth of the United States
in numbers, wealth, and industry; and
to investigate the social organizations
and institutions which determine the
growth of population and wealth. The
first is a constitutional necessity, the
second q study of facts, and the third
study of causes.
Many of the census questions may
seem at first glance unnecessary OF
even impertinent, but they are all
asked for special purpose and the
enumeration has no more to do with
framing the questions than the indi.
vidual who has to answer them. He
is bound to ask the questions as they
appear on the blank, but he is not per-
mitted to give any information about
the answer. These are for the govern
ment officials who are interested only
in the facts and not in the individual
In community like ours it is gen
orally to the interest of all to have the
questions answered fully, and every
citizen should assist the enumeration
in obtaining information about per.
sons who may be temporarily away
from home. Questions of personal
nature, about marriage and divorce
age, education, occupation and poses
sions are necessary for the information
of those who make laws, write maya
zine articles, books, etc. If we do moi
supply correct information we may ex'
pect to be misrepresented during the
next decade.
