A PERSONAL APPEAL
Illinois Women Would Make One
Against Child Labor.
WANT MANUFACTURERS HELP
Believe Men of Character Would BE
Influenced by Club WOmen's
Request.

The Illinois Federation Of Women's Clubs
has been addressed by the League of Cook
county clubs, asking that organization to in
struct its industrial committee to send a letter
TO every manufacturer and employer Of labor
in the state urging them in their private
capacity to pelmit no child under ~ years
10 work in their establishments
This suggestion was made by Mrs. Corinne
Brown after addresses by several speakers
depicting the evils Of child labor. Said Mrs.
Brown: u believe that great many men of
character and conscience will be Influenced
by an appeal of the kind. The time is not
far distant when it will be disgrace for
man to employ child labor"
Harriet NJ. Van Der Vaart, member Of the
industrial committee Of the Illinois Fedora
ton OF Womans clubs, told what she saw in
recent tour Of inspection through a num-
Der OF manufacturing establishments in the
state.
AT the stockyards in Chicago we found
that one-ffth of all the workers employed
were children and one-third Of these were
under the age limit prescribed by law" said
Mrs. Van Der Vaart. In cigar factories
many children under age ere employed as
Shippers Many Of these places are dark,
damp and unwholesome, and the environ
ments lead to the development of pulmonary
diseases and early death.
among the sweat shops conditions are as
bad If nto worse In one place We found two
Slckly women VINO were Obliged TO sew tor
fourteen hours day to earn So cents. An
other poor woman had to toll from morning
until late at night making children's dresses
for 20 cents a dozen In order to support a
family
Madeline w. Skies spoke of ''The Com
pulsory Education Law" recommended that
the legislature be asked to lengthen the
minimum term Of school attendance, especi-
ally in the large cities.
DR.. Crnela De Bey, who accompanied the
committee on Its tour Of inspection, said:
.We realize We are in the clutches f an
industrial despotism that is a deadly poison.
No system Of religion or ethics can hope to
successfully cope with laws that funda-
mentally wrong. The economic problem has
been at the bottom OF every great war the
world has seen"
Julia Lathrop heartily Endorsed the plan
Of sending letters to manufacturers in re-
gard to the child labor problem and said that
much goo might result from the movement.
Margaret Haley said that relief could be
expected from the legislature until lawmakers
were sent to Springfield who represented the
whole people instead of certain commercial
interests. She asked the league to cooperate
with the Teachers federation in organizing
citizens cooperative committees in every
precinct Of the city for the purpose of secur-
ing the nomination of good men as candidates
for the legislature next fall.

was further intensified by the action of SUI
perintendent Olsen toward asking Legislative
action in the matter When the question of
divorcing the educational Institutions of the
state from the penal, reformatory and cllsto-
dial ones comes up, 1t is just that the claims
Of the school for the deaf to be classed with
the former should be heard. II have con-
densed some Of THE more important afgu-
ments, and present them as follows:

After graduation they support themselves
and are good citizens. =
Not one Of the graduates of the school is a
pauper to-day.
Not one is in the penal or reformatory insti-
tuition.
Professor D. L. Kiehle, in a communication
to The journal, says: A charity Is
a service rendered gratuitously to one who Is
in need, = and without expectation Of
a return in personal advantage or remunera-
.tion.' -
According to this definition, the school for
the deaf Is not charitable institution. for
the state expects and receives remuneration
from the deaf who are educated therein.
Among graduates Of the school are teachers,
bankers, merchants, editors and publishers,
professional men, government clerks, farm

Of industry.
The deaf graduates of the school are to-
day earning. every year, in salaries and
wages, SUM several times larger than that
annually expended for the support of the
school.
In view of these facts, CHASING the deaf
with the criminal, the pauper the idiotic and
the insane, places upon them stigma that
they do not deserve and which prejudices
them in the public eye.
Ever since the establishment Of the school
for the deaf, forty years ago, the state super
intendent of public instruction has been, ex-
offlcio. a member Of the board of directors,
a distinct recognition Of the educational ma
ture Of the institution.
AT the last regular session of the 1egis1a-
ture, a bill that was passed made a classin-
cation OF the educational institutions OF the
state as follows: The state university, the

Therefore they entitled to recognition in
the educational system.
The pupils in the school for the deaf are
the children Of honest citizens and taxpayers.
AS such, they are entitled to free education.
Their deafness prevents their education in
the common schools. A special school has
been provided. The deaf are scattered
throughout the state; therefore one central
Institution is more economical to the state
than would be a number of small local
schools.
The school for the deaf has a course Of
study extending over period Of eight to
twelve years. the same as the common schools.
Deaf children are admitted at an early age
and are graduated after completing the course
The state has no further care of them.

INSPECTED SANATORIA

DR.. H. Longstreet Taylor Of st. Paul
member of the state commission to in
spect sanatoria for consumptives, has re-
turned from a trip through Canada and
the eastern states. Fifteen institutions
were carefully inspected. In the case of
the marine hospital service at Fort Stan
ton, conference was held with the off,
GERS at Washingt on. Said Dr. Taylor:
The success of the work was apparent in
the. patients. These institutions have ca
paclty varying from twenty to two hundred
and fifty. The commission thus saw upwards
of a thousand patients and looked over the
histories OF many more who had been dis
charged. ........
For the New York state sanatorium to ac-
commodate 200 patients some 500 acres have
been purchased near Lake Savanna
Massachusetts has enlarged it's sanatorium
at Rutland to accommodate 25O WheA
opened there were 175 beds It is probable
another sanatorium will be erected in the
Berkshire hills.
Rhode Island, Connecticut and, New Jersey
are getting ready to take care of consump-
tives in state institutions. Pennsylvania has
made liberal donation to aid a private
charity, and will probably do so every year.
Philadelphia has appropriated $4,000 to build
an institution. Cincinnati has a fine one
| which has been in operation years.

| citation of philanthropists erected in Ontario
! Two wealthy men of Toronto built the ad-
! ministration building on Lakes Muskoka,
and it is now surrounded by group of pretty
cottages. About sixty patients are cared for
| The patients are charged small amount
covering everything, while the deficit is paid
| by the association. Shop girls and clerks
are taken away from the city and Almost eel
tain death, and are sent back to- their homes
| and work with health restored. The asso.

| The necessity for these institutions exists
