CHILD LABOR LAWS.
Important Amendments Recommend
ed BY Educational Committee.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Several important changes in the
child labor laws of the state are sug-
gested in the report of the special COM
mittee appointed by the Minnesota Edu-
cational association to investigate the
present laws in relation to attendance of
children at school. The report was hand
ed to j. w. Olsen, superintendent OF pub
lie instruction, to incorporate in his BIZ
ennial report.
1t recommends that parents be COM
PEELED to give under oath the reasons
why they desire to take children from
school, and that no permit be granted
for a longer period than six months.
| 1t is also recommended that more safe
guards be thrown around the granting
of permits by the school authorities. The
report says:
'We find that the present law does
not adequately protect children under
fourteen years of age. This failure to
protect is due to the fact that per-
mits are too easily obtained.
"The blank application which the
state furnishes does not require the par
/ ent to take oath that he or she is Civ
inc the true reasons for the necessity
of putting the child at work. The pres
ent law only requires the parent or
guardian to take oath as to age and
parentage of the child. At present the
parent is not required to take oath that
the reasons given are true.
'We therefore recommend that the
law be so changed that parents or guar
dian he legally held to strict ac-
counting for their statements when they
ask for permit.
1--WE also recommend that the law be
so changed that all children be kept in
school until fourteen years of age; that
permits granted for children between the
ages of fourteen and sixteen years be
very carefully guarded, and that no
permit be granted at any time for long
ed than six months.
eve firmly believe that when par
ents are not able TO send their children
to school until fourteen years of age,
the state should in some way provide
for these unfortunate children until they
are able to care for themselves.
eve would respectfully recommend
| that the committee of the legislature
to which this law is referred be re-
quested to draft new law which will
embrace the above recommendations
Your committee can see no good rea-
sons why Minnesota should not at this
time protect itself against the develop
ment of child labor and thus save it
self from the disastrous difficulties
with which many of the Eastorn and
Southern states are now contending, and
save many of its children from wreck
and ruin"
