MOTHERS MEET IN DETROIT
Child Labor IL Question for Discus
sion at the First Days
Session.

DETROIT, Mich, May 6.-At today's ses-
sion Of the conference of the National Con-
gress Of Mothers Mrs. Florence Kelly Of
New York read the report OF the committee
on child labor.
The report states that there is no state
in the union that has a safe law covering
the question OF employing child labor at
night. What employer" she said, will
admit that he compels his Juvenile en-
ployes to perform night labor?"
In her report of the employment Of
children on the streets, such as the news
boys and bootblacks OF a large city, Mrs.
Kelly said these little ones were prac-
tically outlaws so far as any assistance
they received from the newsboys' and boot
blacks homes.
These institutions, she said devoted much
time to looking after the transient foreign
element and the newsboys, bootblacks and
telegraph messengers only found relief in
tho Juvenile courts and the catholic pro-
tectorate.
Mrs. James L. Hughes OF Toronto, in
speaking on "The Influence OF the Kinder
earten on children and Home" condemned
the practice of overstudy and educational
instructions.
eve are too greedy" she said ito pour
knowledge into the minds OF the young
without realizing that the practice is In
furious to the body. One-tenth Of the facts
crowded into the pupils mind at school
eventually slops over and is lost in later
years. Let us not force the child to strive
so strenuously for medals and honors, but
consider that he OF she is an embryo man
or woman and give them only so much as
they can judciously assimilate.
Teach the boy and girl when in each
others company TO discuss bright and in
tellectual things and do away with sweet
! heart talk and friyolities. Herein lies the
/ secret OF their safety in later years"
