spector of workshops and factories,
will recommend the enactment OF sew
eral important amendments to the
laws relating to child labor at the
next regular session of the legislature.

gan thinks that an amendment should
be enacted requiring all employers to
keep a register Of those employed be-
tween IA and 16 attesting to their
having completed certain studies this
information to be supplied by school
superintendents or boards of educa-

inspecting a factory or workshop, by
consulting the record the deputy could
ascertain at once from an authoritative
source whether or not violations of
the child labor law existed. Mr.. Nor
gan says the present laws are made

gard to the enforcement OF the laws.
These two departments should work
together in harmony.
