VOL. XL NO. 24 AN ARMY OF ' CENSUS TAKERS The Work of Enumeration Begins% April Fifteenth People will be Asked Thirty-two Questions--! New Census Will Go; More In to, Detail The army of census takers for l the 13th eensus' df the L'nitedj Slates will march upon the country J April t5. their number being 75,- 000. Within 15 days after this dale the cities will have beey cov ered aud within 30 days the rural sections will have been taken care of. It will requre four months to attend to the manufacturing inter ests in all their multiplex features and then three years will be re quired to study over the figures and make a careful compilation of the statistics gleaned from this la . borious task. The cost of this vast work is enormous, it being esti mated llrat $15,000,000 will he re quired in taking thij cut us, I)r. E. Dana Durand is the di rector of the United Statts Census Bureau and he says that by June 1 he expects to be able to report how mauv inhabitants there are in the United States, probably between 88,000,000 and 91,000,000. In order that the whole storV may be told about these people thir y-two questions will be asked and the answers will be tabulated 011 540,- 000.000 cards, each of which will have to pass} through a machine six times and be punched as it goes through, with a needle in the add ing machine finding the holes. In the analysis of the statistics stress will be laid upon the cause of the decrease in the birth rate. There probably is no race suicide in the United States, but the direc tor is aware of a decrease in the birth rate. Foreign residents are soniewdiat difficult to deal with in census taking- They are suspici ous and fear their home govern ments. Arnoug them are deserters from the armies and they are afraid of being discovered, apprehended and brought bark if they answer all the questions the government enumerators put them. To allay this fear the Uuited States govern ment has advertised extensively in the foreign newspapers assuring the residents that they need not fear, because the information that they give will be treated in the strictest confidence. None of it will be given out to identify any individual. Another consideration in dealing with the foreign element is the lack of accuracy. The women are less accurate than the men, and the enumerators will have to be trusted to get at the truth, j Should any of the enumerators be, deficient in this respect they will be "fotiud out' by the che;k sys; tem and others will be assigned to relieve them of their work. Super visors will have power to enter the territory anywhere and follow the , enumerators, see the same people and ask thetn same questions. When all the people are supposed to have been seen and all the ques tion asked,' a final effort will be made to find whoever there may be who has, by chance, been over looked. Such persons will be/fn vited in newspaper advertisements to report that they have not'been called upon by the enumerators. 1 In the agricultural and manufac turing fields the report this year will make distinction between em ployer and employe. The new census will go more into detail, al so, in the origin of foreigners. In stead of classing all Russians as Russians, it will show what pro vince in Russia they came from Selected. .■ ■ : 1 Subscribe to THE ENTERPRISE 1 THE ENTERPRISE Easter Egg Hunt Easter Monday is ever the happv here for the pupils of the Sun- 1 'day Schools. This year sll eoHdi-1 ! tions were favorable, and thej j teachers of the Disciple and Epis- j 1 copal Churches prepared eggs audi t conlections for old and young. The pupils of the Disciple Snti- ; jday School assembled in the beau j tifnl pnie grove adjacent to the ! residence-of Mr. Marshal Wilson Jon River View Farm, in East Wil liatnston, and hunted the* blight I i hued eggs till every one had been found The delight exhibited by, the chrtdren was re-echoed in thej hearts of the older one, who hud ; memories of other days when they, J too, peeped beneath bush and leat for the eggs mysteriously deposited by the mythical rabb'ts. Sweets and fruits were served and many hours were passed in play. At three o'clock the pupils, teachers and others of th»*.lipiseo pil Sunday School met 011 the Church l x awu, where each year the au,uual egg hunt Ins been held. The younger boys and girls led by the rector and superintendent, en gaged in races down the walk. Souviner eggs were given as pii/.es to the victors in the games, Some time was spent in .amusing the children, and then at a signal the hunt commenced. A greater num ber of eggs thin usual had been hid, and a longer time was consum ed in hunting.. The lawn is per fectly adapted for placing the eggs in hiding, making the fun greater Aftei the hunt was over, fruits and candy were given each one present, and the eggs hunt of lyto passed as another delightful incident iti the life of the School. Delightlal Musical The music class at the Graded School, under the instruction of Miss Taylor, gave a public recital at-the City Hall on Monday evening befpre a large audience. The program contained the works of eminent composers, and the pupils interpreted them with skill | rare in ones so young.

These recitals are given at intervals and one can read ily see the progress of the different ,pupils. The Demon of the Air is -the germ of LaGrippe, that breathed in, brings suffering to thousands.
