Among the most imâ€" | portant questions to be asked of | everybody in the coming census are | those relating to the place of birth of the person enumerated and the place of birth of his father and mother. Each person must be credited in the census records to the state, [ territory, or foreign country in which | his birthplace is now located, regardâ€" | less of what the birthplace was called ’or what nat.on owned that territory | at the time the person was born. 1 May Need Atlas If the person or his parents were born in Europe, the census taker may have to get out his atlas to find out what nation now owns the locality, | If, for example,a person was born | 20 years ago in the province of Boâ€" hemia, which was at that time a part of the Austroâ€"Hungarian Empire, the census enumerator should put down Czechoslovakia as the person‘s birthâ€" place, although no such country ex-} isted when the person was born. If the person was born in Bessarabia 30 years ago and his father was born in exactly the same place 30 years before that, the person will problbly‘ tell the census taker that his father was born in Turkey while he ‘was born in Russia, but the wise census taker will put down Roumania as the birthplace of: both. By reason of changes brought about by the World War and the Treaty of Versailles, boundary lines in Europe | have wavered like ribbons in the wind. On the present day map of: Europe there are seven countries and one free city which did not exist in 1914; and the boundary lines of most of the old nations haveâ€"changed considâ€" iernbly. In the Near East, five new nations have sprung from theâ€"terriâ€" tory which was formerly called the Ottoman Empire. ’ln Recording Names of Aliens ' Enumerators Must Present | Name of Country ~Other Questions In most instances, the person enâ€" umerated will know what government now controls his place of birth, for immigrants and their children usually retain a lively interest in the affairs of that part of the old world from which they came. When the person does not know what has happened to the place of his birth, the census enâ€" umerator will be expected to be able to supply information. In case neither is familiar with the facts in the case, the enumerator will. put down the city or province in which the person was born, and the Census Bureau in Washington will insert the name of the country. . If both the person and his parents were born in the United States, the answer will be fairly easy, because all the enumerator will have to do will be to put down the state or terâ€" ritory in which a person was born, CENSUS TAKERS WILL NEED ATLAS HISTORY Merger: of Knox and Lombard colâ€" leges, at Galesburg, IIl., rivals> for nearly 75 years, was in prospect as committees representing the two inâ€" stitutions started work on a plan of‘ consolidation. F A statement telling ~* the proposed merger was issued by Albert Britt, president of Knox, and George G. Davis,â€" president of Lombard, after the executive committees of the boards ‘of trustees of the colleges unanimously voted approval of the idea. "By getting together we believe a better piece of work can be done than if we continue in our separate ways," stated President Davis. 20% The merger, if it is given the final approval of the trustees of the two schools, will not mean a larger colâ€" lege but rather a stronger small one the presidents stated. sus of 1920 there were 13,712,754 perâ€" sons who were born in foreign counâ€" tries; and there were 22,686,204 perâ€" sons born in the United States whose parents were born in foreign counâ€" tries. There two classes comprised 38.5 per cent of the total white popâ€" ulation; so it may be seen that the census takers may wear out several atlases finding where all these people and their parents were born. : To our ‘foreignâ€"born population Russia contributed a larger share than any other of the countries as they existed before the World War, the total number of persons born in Russia being 2,020,646; Germany ranked next with 1,915,864; then came Italy, 1,615,180; then old Ausâ€" tria, 1,445,141 (of whom only about 575,000 were born within the confines of the present Austria); and next Ireâ€" land, 1,164,707. The coming census will show the changes that are takâ€" ing place in the composition of our foreignâ€"born population as the result of immigration restriction and other influences, Census officials have pointâ€" ed out. Merger of Knox and Lombard Colleges at Galesburg Is Planned No change will be made during the present academic year if the union is favored, it was reported. and there have been comparatively few changes in state boundary lines or names within the lifetime of peoâ€" ple now living. If a person was born in the old Indian Territory, the birthâ€" place should go down on the census records under Oklahoma, its present name. A person whose father or mother was born in the old Louisiana or Oregon territory will be asked to name the state in which his parent‘s birthplace is now situated.
