CENSUS TAKER
Soon Abroad In The Land. Cues
lions to Be Answered:

For the benefit of those not yet
accustomed to the searching Ques-
tons of the census taker, and for
: the information of those yet to
undergo the ordeal the full list is
given below:
First he writes on his big blank
the street and number of your
house.
Then he asks how many families
live there.
Now you must give the name of
each person of your family who
lives with you on April Is. He
enters surname first, then the
given name and middle initial.
He omits children born since
April 10.
Then the questions will come as
4follows:
Tell the relationship of each
person in the family to the head of
the family.
Tell their sex.
Color or race.
Age at last birthday.
Whether single, married, Wild
owed or divorced, g.
Number of years of present
marriage if married.
How many children born and
how many alive.
Place of your birth.
Your fathers birthplace.
Your mothers birthplace.
What year you immigrated to
the United, if foreign born.
Whether you are naturalized or
alien.
Whether able to speak English
or if not give language spoken.
What's your trade, or profess
sion, or job.
\ What is the general nature of
the industry, business or estab-
lishment where you work?
Are you an employer, employee,
or working on your own account!
If you are an emplove, were
xHou working on April 10?
How many weeks were you out

of work in 1909?
Can you read?
Can you write?
Have you attended school any
time since September l, 1909?
Do you own or rent your home!
If you own it, is it free or mort
gaged9
Do you live on a farm or in
town?
If you live on farm, is it free
or mortgageda
Then, if you live on farm
what's the number of your farm
schedule-that is census sched-
ule which you should have re-
ceived before the census man
comes.
Are you a survivor of the Union
or Confederate army or navys
Are you blind (bOth eyes,!
Are you deaf and dumb?
That's all the questions, but
here's some rules that you will be
expected to observe:
Your home is where you sleep.
Domestic servants and others
living with their employers should
be enumerated with the family.
Persons who will not be enumer-
ated with the family by the cen
sus man are: Those visiting tenn
pOrarily; transient bOarders or
dodgers who have some other per-
manent place of abode; persons
working in your house but not
sleeping there; members of your
family who are in Jail, asylums,
almshouses, homes for aged, re-
formatories, or any other institu-
ton where they may be confined
for some time to come.
If you have two occupations you
name the one which gives you the
best pay.
The purpose of the questions
about whether you have been out
of work is to find the number of
people in the country who want to
work and cannot find it.
In the case of women who are
doing their own homework with
out other employment the census
man will put down that she has no
occupation.
You do not need to fear the CEN
