MENACE TO CHILDREN.
Shorter School Day, 1t Is Said,
Would Increase Child Labor.

That q shorter school day would tend 10 Increase
the number OF children employed under age is the
opinion OF tie child Labor Committee. Secretary
J. h Spaulding has written President Henry y
Tint OF the Board Of Education. and says in part:
The Child Labor Committee feels that the short
ened school day would render more than dif-
hcult task Of putting end to child labor, since
new opportunities for employment would present
themselves a better alternative FOR idleness in
the streets The change IS demanded by few OF the
parents with children OF school age. The change
would add intoerably 70 the burdens Of thousands
OF tired mothers. The laws against the immature
labor OF young children can only be enforced I'm
case there is available alternative Of true ad-
vantage the child. Reduce the school hours and
YOU surely and effectively add to the number of
hours oe spent by little tots Of six seven, eight
and nine. shut up IN stUny rooms working IN the
foul air.

the maintenance Of the fun school day n the first
