Show NEED ARMY AS . CENSUS TAKERS The Director of the Census, Hon. Sam L. Rogers, announces that SO, 000 enumerators will be needed to take the next census. The work begins on January 2 and will last about two weeks in cities, and a month or more in rural districts. Rates of pay will vary, depending upon the locality and character of the district to be canvassed. The average av-erage pay per enumerator at tho census of 1910 was about $70. At this coming census it will probably be not less than 5100. "Active, intelligent, and reliable; men and women, not less than IS years of age, are. needed for this task," said Director Rogers, "and, in a sense, this is a call for volunteers. The importance of a complete and reliable census, especially in these critical times when more than ever before perhaps we need complete data regarding population, conditions, condi-tions, tendencies and resources, can hardly be over-emphasized. The reorganization re-organization of the social and economic econ-omic structure and the readjustment of international relations necessitated necessitat-ed by the war must be based on accurate ac-curate knowledge if we are to act wisely and deal justly with all classes class-es and all interests. It is hoped, therefore, that public-spirited energetic ener-getic people throughout the country will volunteer to act as census enumerators enum-erators even though they may not care for the positions so far as pay is concerned. I should be sorry to think, and I do not believe, that all our patriotism was used up by the war and none ieft over for public service in times of peace." George Romney.
