CENSUS WILL
TOLD EARLY
'
Statistics To Be Given Out
In Each District Be*
fore Tabulation
Washington, June 12.——
Population statistics of the 1930 de
cennial census will be announced
publicly In each of 500 districts im
mediately after they are gathered
instead of being tabulated first In
Washington.
William M. Steuart. director of
the census, explains this procedure
will be followed in order that in
accuracies may be detected before
the figures are tabulated for the
permanent record.
At least 100.000 enumerators will
be needed to canvas the nation's
homes for the census, he says, and
between 6.000 and 8.000 more will be
employed here later.
Selection of women for the jobs
of enumerators is favored by the
directors because they usually have1
a plentiful endowment of tact and ;
are faithful in attending to details.
On the basis of estimates of the
average periodic increase in popu
lation of the country, it is believed
that about 123.000 000 individuals
must be listed for the new census.
