PROGRESS IN CHILD LABOR
Z -: - <5<> LAWS. .s#s

~
With President Roosevelt declaring
emphattcally for child labor reguls-
ton In his message, with the govern
ors of half a dozen states taking up
the subject in their messages, and
with the organization of the national
child labor committee of which e.
President Cleveland is a member,
there is probability of considerable
advance in this field of philanthropic
reform within the next year, 1904
was not without it's achievements in
this direction. however. In reviewing
the report of the legislatures of last
year and measuring the results of
their activities in the field of child
labor and compulsory education,
Charities calls attention to the fact
that noteworthy statutes we're enacted
by four states, Massachusetts, Ken
lucky. New Jersey and Vermont,
says the Springfield Republican.
Massachusetts extended to the
month Of December the restriction of
the hours of labor for women and
children, which formerly only applied
to stores during II months in the
year. 1t will henceforth be illegal to
employ any woman or minor under
1S years Of age longer than 10 hours
in one day or % hours in one week
at any time during the year in any
store, including the holiday rush
season AS it has long been illegal
in any factory. New Jersey EXTENDED
to boys under IA years of age the pro-
hibition which previ ously applied
only to girls. Neither boys or girls
can no" be legally employed in
manufacture in New Jersey before
the 18th birthday. Unfortunately, the
Legislature repealed the statute which
had for 10 years prohibited the en-.
ployment at night of children under
Is years of age in all manufacture
except glassworks, canneries and es
Establishments for preserving perishab BILE
fruits. Children II years of age may,
therefore, be legally employed
throughout the night in factories in
New Jersey. Kentucky extended to
the entire school year--not less than
i've months-the term of compulsory
attendance at school for children un-
der ID years OF ace. Vermont ex acted
new law embodying some OF the
best features Of the laws of Illinois and
! Massachusetts. This is the first east
ern state to adopt the Illinois restric-
tion upon the hours of labor of child
rem under 16; nor more than 6 hours
in the day, nor more than eight hours
in one day, nor more than AZ hours
in one week nor after 7 o. m. nor
before 2 a. m. The requirements of
Massachusetts regarding the age, and
addition of the passport for vertical
ton of age are adopted. The age
limit has been raised only to IL
years, but no child under is may be
employed while the public schools are
in session.

The claims of the railway men that
they nuke reasonable rates has been
often punctured. There is q sugar
factory in Colorado whose product
can be bought IN Kaneas City, it has.
been shown. for 20 per cent less than
it can a mile flom the factory. The
freight rate from New York to the
great cities Of the west is less than
the ate from intermediate POINTS to
the same cities. Nor is it necessary to
20 out of the state for evidence. The
testimony before the legislative jo: mt
committee has already shown rank
discrimination, and the hearings
have scarcely begun.

that the school board will outline a
liberal policy in the maintalnence of

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING
AGREE THAT USE OF FORMER
BOOKS is BEST.
Therefore the Changes Along That
Line viii be Very sleht-sehooI
Premises and Wells are to
be Thoroughly Cleaned.

The school board met yesterday af
ternoon and the meeting was given
over to a discussion of school affairs
one of the main things that came up
for consideration was the adoption OF
the text books in the schools and 1t
was the consensus of opinion that
there should be the least possible
change in the text. In other words
there will be only slight departure
from the books used last year. How.
ever, the changes adopted will not be
material and the action of the board
was In line with the advice Of the new
superintendent. Prof Evans who be.
lieves in stable course oi study.
In doing this. the board adopts the
theory that change OF text is burden.
some to the people. and that it is far
better to adopt the books heretofore
used than TO make changes, which
would create some confusion.
Among other matters discussed was
the boundaries Of the schools. but this
proposition was passed over till Fri
day afternoon when the board will
again meet
The school premises were ordered
cleaned and the wells also put in con.
dition. Everything will be in first.
