The men and women appointed to

Titory assigned to him. Each emu
merator must visit personally each
house in his district and make his
inquiries of the head or some other
member of the family who is compe-
tent to answer the census questions.
The act of congress providing for
the census gives each enumcrator the
IN KxTpl n
district for the purpose of obtaining
the information required. Enumera-
tors will carry with them at all times
their Identification cards and also
their written commissions from the
government. which they will show
whenever requested TO do so, They are
instructed to be always courteous and
Considerate, but in those rare in
stances where information necessary
to fill out the questions is denied
them, they are empowered by law to
insist on correct answers There are
legal penalties for refusing to answer
the census questions or willfully CIV
ing answers that are false.
Each enumerator is prohibited by
law from publishing or communicating
any information obtained through the
census regarding any individual or
his affairs. This obligation to secre-
cy likewise applies to all persons con-
nected with the census. After the
schedules are all filled out they are
sealed up and sent to Washington,
where the information is tabulated by
means of machinery names being dis
carded entirely. No person. therefore,
need fear that his personal affairs
viii be disclosed or that the informa-
tion given will be used to harm him
in any way.
lie is expected that the work of
enumerating urban districts will be
completed in two weeks and of rural
districts in one month, except where
severe weather makes it necessary
to postpone activities.

80 per cent of the positions open with
