WASHINGTON, June 12. Popu
lation statistics of the 1010 decen
nial census will be announced pub
licly in each of COO districts Imme
diately after they are Kathered, in
stead of being tabulated first in
Washington.
" William M. Steuart, director of
the census, explains that this pro
cedure would be followed for the
first time with the forthcoming
census, in order that Inaccuracies
may be detected before the figures
are tabulated for the permanent
record.
At least 100,000 enumerators will
be needed to canvass 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
Is favored by the directors.
"Women have been employed In
the works for census of the past,"
he says, "and with great success.
They have tact."
ThoitRh applications for posi
tions r.a enumerators will he filed
with the census bureau here, super
visors In the 500 districts into
which the country will be divided,
will be responsible for organization
of the staff. The plan Is to employ
one enumerator for each 2,000 esti
mated population.
"Publication of the figures In the
districts," Director Steuart expects,
"will also enable me to carry out
the provision of the law of a pen
alty on deliberate inaccuracy. The
supervisor will not be paid for the
work In his district until after re
sults of his staff have been pub
lished and opened to public com
ment." 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 me new census.
