AGAINST CHILD LABOR.
Tcxns Teachers Make M Appeal to
the log 2islaiMrr.

The Dallas, Texas, News says by
the invitation OF Prof. Long, tho SUI
pcrintcndcnt Of Dallas public schools,
Dean Stuck made an address to the
teachers OF the city schools on the
subject OF the legislative regulation OF
enid labor in factories. There we're
about 100 teacher present. and much
interest was displayed. Dean Stuck
quoted from an article by Gilbert
Hubbard, the author Of "Thc Message
10 Garcia in the current number OF
The Philistinc," as follows. Il
know the sweat shops Of Hester street,
New York; | am familiar with the
vice, dcprayity aud degradation of tile
Whitccllapel district in East London:
! have visited the Ghetto in. Venice:
know the lot Of the coal miners of
pennsylvania, and | know something
OF Siberian atrocities, but for misery,
woe, and hopeless suffering, 1 have
never seen anything to equal the cot
Lon mill slavery of South Caroiina-
ibis in my own America, tho land Of
the free and the home of the brave! I!
For the adult who accepts the life
OF the mills / have no word to saw
it Is his own business. My plea Is in
defense OF the innocent L voice the
cry Of the child whose sob is drowned
IN the thunder Of whirring Wheels"
Dean Stuck Insisted that the condi-
tion or things in South Carolina
threatened Texas, too; that begin
ming had already been made OF the in
production or the system Of child labor
that now was the time to make q
strong fight for the enactment Of a law
that should forbid It's extension, and
That II was necessary to arouse public
sentiment In order that such bill
might have a chance of passing at the
next session Of the Legislature
The following resolutions, moved by
Prof. Morgan, were unanimously adj
opted;
Whereas, The increase Of factories
IN States where there is no regulation
Of the employment of child labor has
resulted In certain grave evils to
childhood, namely, first, an excessive
length Of daily work, this being cx-
tended at times into the night; second
ly, the physical, mental and moral
weakening Of the children, owing to
this confinement and the unhealthy
conditions OF work., and, thirdly, a
great increase in the percentage OF
lllitcratcs owing to the loss to the
children Of the opportunities Of school.
whereas, Factories arc rapidly in
crcasing in Texas, and these grave
evils arc increasing with them. We,
the teachers Of the Dallas public schools
In the name Of the children Of Texas,
40 respectfully present to the legisla.
tors Of Texas our earnest request that
they take into consideration the mat.
ter Of regulating child labor. we
urge that Texas profit by the bitter
experience of tic older cotton States
and regulate Ghesc evils before they
assume greater proportions. We be.
licye that this regulation ought to
come now, for IL is statcsmanship tc
learn from others how to prevent these
evils rather than to learn In our turl
by sacriflctihg the lives of q genera
tiOn OF children"

In q letter to the Charleston Post
Mr.. Sloan says:
This will afford some Of our gran

to exhibit some OF our very superior
granite, and the privilege OF honoring
