Special Agent Robertson OF Washington,
who Is an authority on census taking was
IN St. Louis yesterday. He has been In
Cincinnati, Little Rock. New Orleans and
other large cities OF the Central West. He
says that ST. Louis will form the model for
the census OF 1910. He says that the most
minnie details have been taken up by the
local system. The assistance of local bust
ness organizations has helped out the emu
meration in a material manner. The press
also. he says. has aided the supervisor in
cleaning statistics. In other cities the
newspapers have been unwilling to help the
officials and have encouraged those who
thought It proper to refrain from answering
the necessary questions. In ST. Louis the
newspapers have made It a point to assist
In the enumeration
In spite OF the fact that things have gone
on smoothly, II was impossible for a single
agent to select more than 40 efficient as
sistants Several of the districts have been
gone over twice. This was because the orig
fnaI enumerator was either inefficient or
negligent. All sections have been covered
and only individual cases. which We're over

into now.
