and write.
The act was passed by the Legislature
last week and is now being printed
for distribution, among the deputy fac
tory inspectors, to be distributed by
them among the employees.
Just what effect the law will have
hereabouts is hard to estimate. Deputy
Inspector Earl w. Bishop in speaking
of the matter to Tribune reporter
yesterday gave It as his opinion that
not many will be affected by the act
in his district. As a general rule the
boys and girls in the stores and fac
tories hereabouts have at least a COM
mon school education. Those employed
in stores must of necessity be able to
read and write, and from the OPERA
tions of the factory laws, children who
might have otherwise been sent to
work before they learned to read and
write, were kept out of. the factories
until they were thirteen years of age
and as something had to be done with
them they were sent to school.
1t is the intention of Inspector Bishop
to personally examine all those who
come under the operations of the act.
He will visit the stores and factories
one after another and summon before
him every boy and girl under sixteen
years of age to undergo the required
| test. If they are found to be able to
read and write they will receive a Ger.
| tificate to that effect, but if they are
found to be illeterate they will be sent
| home.
The purpose of the act, as is appar-
ent, is to supplement the workings OF
the law which it amends. Now, in ad
dition to preventing the employment
of child labor, the law gives assur-
ance that children will not grow III
in ignorance through the thoughtless.
ness or negligence of parents.
