In order to quiet such unfounded fears, which would, unless removed, materially affect the accuracy of the census, the bureau has propared an official statement relative to the de cennial census. Its origin, purpose, and uses. This statement should furnish com plete assurance to those concerned that Information given the enumera tors is held by the Census Bureau In the strictest confidence with refer ence to the Identity of the Inform ants, as required by the policy of the bureau and commanded by the law of the United States. ? The bureau earnestly hopes that clergymen, priests, physicians, school teachers, employers, and other pub lic-spirited citizens who come In con tact with large numbers of people, will cooperate with the bureau by telling persons who are believed to entertain erroneous opinions of the census the real facts and urging them to give full replies to the enu ?aerators. Teachers are particularly requested to speak of the census to the school children and ask them to tell their parents about it.
