Making Sense Of The Census
The U.S. Census Bureau has produced the "1990 Census Education Kit'' to help generate community awareness of the census undertaking, give teachers a chance to incorporate census education in the classroom, and stimulate household response. Each kit, free while supplies last, contains materials suitable for children in K-12 social studies, mathematics, science, and language arts classes. The bureau hopes that in households where the parents do not speak English, students will be able to help their families complete the census forms. Each of the nation's public and private school principals and school district superintendents were to receive the kit in March 1989; if your school has not received a copy, or if you are unable to locate it, contact: U.S. Census Bureau, Data User Services Division, Dept. TM, Washington, DC 20233; (301) 7631510.
