lunch Colony Tu Take Census 0n its Natives

SALISBURY, Southern Rhode- sia. Aug. l9 - (OP) - A census experiment which is lacing watch- ed with great interest by the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations is at present being undertaken in Southern Rhodesia. -

Twenty-four men will spend the next two monllhs- visiting nearly 2,000 native kresls scat- fered ‘throughout the colony to get. as far as possible an accur- ate total of the African popula- tion of bouthern Rhodesia.

This scheme. it is ‘ 4 ‘. may later be spplied in other African territories and result. in an accurate assessment of the total population of the African continent for the first time in history.

"The United Nations is inur-

csled because this is the first time such a method has been tried in Africa," said J. R. H. Shaul, census director for South- ern Rhodesia.

"ff it is a success. other Afri- can territories will undoubtedly follow. What is urgently requir- ed is not so much,the actual pop- ulation figures as the rate of growth."

Mr. Shaul said that the colony itself would benefit from posses- sion of reliable figures on birth and death rates, infant mortal- ity rates. fertlllt statistics and the age distribut on of t-he, Afri- can races. -

Draft proposals for s sample census of the Afrlcanpopuletion of the colony were prepared '- in August. 1947, and forwarded to the sub-commission on statistical sampling at Lake Success.

He said that. in recent years s new m d known as "sampling" had bse tried with success in the United States, Osnads and Britain. Today, for the first time, it was to be "applied to census-taking among Africans.

Mr. Shaul said a complete en- ilmerlition ill the rthodox men- ner was practically impossible in the case of s ‘large illiterate pop- ulation. with the Iiiropesn popu- lations the reqaonsibility was thrown to the householder. but with the nstiv Jopulatlons the enumerstor h ‘to fill in the forms himself.

Borne experts. he said. claimed that the sampling method was actually more accurate than corn-
