- CENCUS TAKER
teachers there arejnow many lawyers,
doctors, ministers, engineers, mer-
chants, farmers, carpenters ,etc. We
find out by the census how many
people in the United States were born
in each foreign country—in England,
in France, in Italy, and every other
forgign country. The census tells how
many children there are and how
many are attending school. We learn
how many people there are who can-
not read and write, how many there
are who cannot speak English. We
shall learn through the census all
about the farms in the United States.
‘On the basis of the census the
Representatives in Congress are ap-
portioned among’ the States. In other
words, the number of Congressmen
which any State will have during the |
next ten years wil depend upon the
population of that State as determined
by the coming census.
Uncle Sam needs the census figures
in his national housekeeping. He
needs this knowledge for the enact-
ment of good laws and the wise direc-
OFFICIAL BOARD MEETING
On Tuesday night the official board
of the M. E. Church met in special
session to complete arrangements for
closing the fiscal year. Detailed reports
showed that considerable money has
been paid in and pledges made to pay
before April 1 that will largely cover
outstanding obligations. It appeared
that ‘a small deficit may be incurred
which will be met by a special fund.
The general situation was considerea
very satisfactory since the present
vear carried an additional benevolence
budget of about $150 over that raised
last year and also a considerable
amount carried as deficit when the
last year was closed. It was decided
to have all obligations paid in full by
conference so that next year’s re-
sources will not be drawn upon to
close this year’s: accounts. ;

of all the people. Everybody who an-
swers the census questions truthfully
and promptly aids in this important
work.
