GIVE INFORMATION TO CENSES TAKER The Fourteenth I Tilted States Census Is Important to the Whole Country, and of Enusual Importance at This Time to the Colored People. Because of the many economic | changes since 1910, the importance of the decennial census to the colored people should not be underestimated. These changes will be a matter of record in the history of the growth of the race, and of the nation, and the statistical information which will be compiled from the data collected by the census enumerators, who will can vass the United States this month, should constitute a source of reliable information for this and for future generations. Through migration, the colored population of some states lias con siderably increased, while in others it has decreased since the United States census of 1910. Agricultural activi ties appear to be extending In new di rections. Thousands of colored men and women have entered into the in dustrial life of the nation as produc ers. Indications, in certain states, point to a largo increase in home ownership. A substantial growth in the number of business enterprises owned and oeprated by colored men is reflected in their newspapers and magazines, which are growing In number and influence. The number of professional men and women are steadily increasing, and the percent age of Illiteracy Is rapidly decreasing. The accuracy of the census reports depends largely upon the willingness of eaeh individual to answer fully each question asked by the enumerator, and it Is only In this way that reliable data can be obtained from which can be determined the social and economic progress made by each element of the population in the United States. The census bureau emphasizes tho point that all Information collected by the census enumerators is strictly confidential. It cannot be used as a basis for taxation, for the enforcement of any federal, state or loeal law, or in any way whatsoever that will cause harm to the person giving it or to his affairs. No one, therefore, should hesitate to give to the census enumerators complete and truthful replies which the enumerators can use In filling out the printed census schedule carried by them, nor should any attempt be made by anyone to cover up the true facts that pertain to each man and woman.
