On June many thousands OF men
officially known as enumerators began
to take the twelfth
census of the Unit
ed States. During
the month they will be expected to visit
every home. They will ask many ques-

unnecessary, and, rightly regarded,
none is impertinent. Every accurate
answer will help to carry out the pur-
pose of the census, which is to deter
mine and record the social condition
and industrial standing of the people
of this country. Truth-telling cannot
possibly have embarrassing results.
The information given the enumerator
will not be used as basis of taxation
nor communicated to any assessor; anti
