It is at present the aim of the Census BIZ.
reau however, to keep the schedule as simple
and as compact as possible, and for the present
at least not to try to expand too much in
connection with the population census.
In future years some method may be found
whereby the Census Bureaus statistical work
will expand to answer the questions constantly
being asked in connection with immigration
law enforcement, public health, and score of
other subjects on which definite information
is lacking. Whether such censuses will be
undertaken in connection with the enumeration
Of the population it is impossible to tell.
There have been attempts in the past to
have the population enumerators get crime
statistics This was one Of the duties of the
census takers in 1890. They got their infor-
nation from county and district courthouses.
And in 1880 questions on individual health
were part of the census takers schedule.
Long ago it was part of the enumerator's
duties to furnish the names Of all the deaf,
dumb and blind. Even today each enumerator
carries special blanks on which he Is to write
the names Of deaf-mutes and blind persons,
and these persons are later sent special blanks
to be filled out by themselves or their families.
Most public health statistics are today coll
lected by the Bureau of Public Health, rather
than by the Census Bureau.
FROM time to time, trainers of immigration
laws have thought that information could
be collected along with each decennial census
which would help in making up immigration
laws
One suggested inquiry along this line was
that each person should be asked the nation
atty Of his parents. Another question sug-
gested was: What was your mothers maiden
name?" But difficulties lie in the way Of

Uncle Sam NH Count Noses Next Aprb
and 100000 DoorbeN Ringers and Clerks
Mil See If U. 5. Population, Which Is
Gaining at the Rate Of One Person in %
Seconds, Has Rated Z25 Millions.

Here are the questions which the new force
of census takers are to ask every person In
the country:
His or her relationship to head of family
home owned or rented; if owned, free or mort
gagged; does family live on farm; sex; color
or race; age at last birthday; single, married,
widowed, or divorced attended school any
time since September /, 1929; able to read and
write; place of birth of person being enum-
Grated, also place of birth of that persons
father and mother: if not native of United
States, year of immigration, naturalized or
alien; does person being enumerated speak
English; occupation, industry or business in
which engaged; veteran of United States mill
tary or naval forces in any war or expedition,
and If SO, what war or expedition.
The last question is new one, added to
the schedule this year by the Census Bureau
by direct order of Congress, census of un-
employment is to be made, therefore
enumerators have special instructions with re-
gard to the occupation listing.
The director of the census, w. M. Steuart,
says it will be difficult to make the unemploy-
ment census absolutely accurate.
There are many old persons, and some who
are invalided, who would like to return to
work, he says, but who should not be listed
as having occupations and temporarily out OF
work. No occupation should be given for
persons in this condition, he declares, no mat
ter whether they are living Off their own in
comes or being supported by the incomes Of
others.
On the other hand, some one who is able to
work and who has trade or occupation nor
mally may not be working when the census
enumerator calls, and when he hears the ques-
ton, occupation" he may inadvertently an
swer "None," regardless of the fact that he
usually has one, or is capable of having one
If opportunity presents ITSELF 1t is exactly
such persons as these which the unemploy-
ment census should enumerate therefore CEN
sus takers are being very carefully instructed
to get the correct answers to this question.
If the census enumerator asked all the ques-
tons which it has been suggested from time
to time would be desirable from an informa-
tional viewpoint, he would be around your
home much longer than the space of the short
visit which he will now pay you. In fact,
you might have to ask him to have at least
one meal with the family if he took the time
to gather all the sociological data desired in
some quarters and which would undoubtedly
be valuable if it could be obtained in this way

1t is believed that the 1880 census will list

 And now he sat in John Curtis Morgans office. telling his own story of that last day and night of his fathers life.
 He didn't kill his father, but he's holding something back" Nan told herself as her pencil flew. At last she could keep silent no longer. With an audacity excused by her new status as Morgan's law part ner, she interrupted:
