"Of the numerous laws, with the en-
forcement of which the labor bureau is
charged" says Labor Commissioner Mar
tin McHale, there is none occasioning
SO much trouble as that intended to reg
ulate the employment of children. This
is largely due to the incoherent manner
in which the law, as it exists, has been
gotten up. Consisting of patchwork
of different enactments and amendments
pertaining, some of them to compulsory
education, others to employment regu-
lations and still others to truancy enact
ments each one adopted with some SIN
gle object in view without regard to past
or existing regulations, 1t is not to be
expected that anything like an mtell-
gent conception of this important law
should exist throughout the state. One
notion, which is found very prevalent, is
that all children under sixteen, who de-
sired to go to work, should first secure
q permit from the labor bureau. Another
notion, almost equally prevalent, was
that children who did not attend school
should be hunted up by the labor bureau
and made to do So Another quite COM
mon idea was that the whole law per-
tanning to this subject was mere for
mality without any significance or prac-
teal application whatever. Because or
these erroneous and conflicting ideas the
bureau has been obliged to exercise more
leniency in the enforcement of this law
than the seriousness of its violation
should warrant. Thus, Notwithstanding
the employment of child under sixteen
years, Of age, which has not been legally
excused, is a misdemeanor according to
law, the bureau, instead OF causing ar
rests, has served notice to employers that
children thus employed must either be
supplied with the requisite excuse or be
discharged. Such noticesshave been serv-
ed during the past year in the case of
S74 children, who were found to be lille
gally. employed: To have caused arrests
in all these instances would scarcely
have been held reasonable.
'"The gist of the law is that every child
between the ages of eight and sixteen
years. must attend some school during
the entire session. of the public schools
in the district in which the child lives
provided that children between the ages
of fourteen and sixteen may be excused
