an impressive character and were at
tended by many educators of note

James, who made an appropriate re-
Spouse for the university.

Is the Hughes law, designed to pre-.

Among the other new laws are several
which are designed 10 protect children
from abuse and injustice. One Of the
provisions OF the new child labor law
is decidedly unpopular with 4 certain
element OF the Juvenile population Of
New York City. This law prohibits
boys less than ten years old from sell

that two Thousand boys and several
hundred girls who now earn money by
the sale OF papers will DO thrown out
