1910 Census Notes from newspapers of the day:

From the News, (Frederick, MD), December 10, 1912: 

  "Official figures of the thirteenth census published: population,
exclusive of Alaska, 91,972,266; including all possessions,
101,100,000; gain since 1900, 15,595,860."

From the Trenton Evening Times, (Trenton, NJ), September 23, 1912: 

  "According to the best information the Census Bureau has been
able to gather concerning the birth rate of the United States,
more than three million babies are born in this country each year.
Their hold on life is so precarious that the number of them who
die before their first birthday comes around is equivalent to one-
fifth of all the deaths that occur."

From the News, (Frederick, MD), November 20, 1912: 

  "The last federal census shows that there are 106 women for 
every 100 men in the country.  It may not be out of place to re-
mind those extra six girls that Leap Year is nearly over."

From the Nashua Reporter, (Nashua, IA), May 23, 1912: 

  "According to the census returns, Iowa stands with only 1.7 per
cent -- one and seven-tenths - illiteracy.   Which means that only
17 persons out of each 1,000 cannot read in some language. In this
Iowa stands at the head of the union, Nebraska coming second with
1.9.  This is a proud distinction and speaks well for our people 
and our schools.  In such states as Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, 
Wisconsin and Indiana, American states, the standard is over three
per cent.   Iowa has reason to feel proud of this record.  What's
the matter with Iowa?  She's all right."

From the Marion Weekly Star, (Marion, OH), September 21, 1912: 

  "Based on figures of population and mortality furnished by the
United States bureau of the census.  It is estimated that not
less than 100,000 children now in school in the United States will
die of tuberculosis before they are eighteen years of age, or that
about 7,000 of these children die annually from this one disease.
Estimating that on an average each child who dies from tuberculosis
has had six years of schooling, the aggregate loss to this country
in wasted education each year amounts to well over $1,000,000."

From the Gettysburg Times, (Gettysburg, PA), October 30, 1912: 

  "There are fewer men, women and children in the United States who
can neither read nor write than ever before in the nation's history,
according to special illiteracy statistics made public by the census
bureau.
  In the entire population illiteracy has declined from 10.7 in 1900
to 7.7 per cent in 1910.  Among children from ten to fourteen years
old the decline has been from 72 to 4.1 per cent.  In 1910 the whole
number of children who could neither read nor write was 370,126 - 
141,459 white and 218,355 negroes and 7106 Indians, Chinese and Jap-
anese."

From the Evening News, (Ada, OK), October 22, 1912: 

  "According to the last census California has a total of 671,386 
women eligible to vote.  For the other five states the figures are as
follows:  Colorado, 213,425; Utah, 85,729; Washington, 277,727; Idaho,
69,818; Wyoming, 28,840.

From the Daily Review, (Decatur, IL), August 27, 1912: 

  "20,473,684 MEN READY TO FIGHT - That Number of Males in United 
States of Military Age. - Washington, Aug. 27. - A preliminary state-
ment giving for the United States, by divisions and states, the number
of males comprising the national militia of the country, as shown by 
the returns of the thirteenth decennial census, taken as of April 15,

partment of commerce and labor.

clusive.  In 1910, the males of militia age numbered 16,182,702.
  "The figure for 1910 exceeds that of 1900 by 4,290,982.  While the
total population of the country has increased during the decade, 21
per cent males of militia age have in the same period increased 26.5
per cent, and as a consequence they constituted a somewhat greater
proportion of the total population of both sexes and all ages in 1910,
22.3 per cent were males of militia age, the corresponding percentage
for 1900 being 21.3."
