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.
