WASHINGTON, d. c., March 2,

qiences 1, their persons and property
In order TO quiet such unfounded
fears. Which would, unless removed,
materially affect the accuracy of the
census, the bureau has prepared an
official statement relative to the dec
ennial censcs, its origin, purpose and
u n.s
This statement should furnish com.
pleta assurance to those concerned
that information given the enumators
is held by the census bureau in the
to the identity of the informants. as
r'.Q'ired Ey the policy OF the bureau
and commanded by the law of the
United states.
The bureau earnestly hopes that
clerymen, priests, physicians. school
teachers. employers and other public
spirited citizens who come in contact
with large numbers Of people, will CO.
operate with the bureau by telling pei
sons who are believed to entertain er.
roneous opinions Of the census the
real facts and urging them to give
full replies to the enumerators. Teach
err are especially requested to speak
OF the census to the school children
and ask them to tell their parents
