The Census Enumerators’ Questions

The census takers, or "enumerators," as they are called by the Government, have 32 scheduled questions to ask of the people of the United States. Schedules have been very carefully prepared so as to minimize the work as far as possible. The 32 questions are classified under 13 groups, among which are location, name, relationship, personal description, country of birth, education, etc., etc. Enumerators must not use their position politically, and none of the questions answered will be used in a political way. There is no reason why every one should not do all in his power to assist the enumerators to obtain a correct knowledge of the country and its people.
