CERTIFICATES FOR
BOYS DESIRING WORK
Superintendent Hayden Makes Suooes.
ton on Eve of Summer
Vacation.

Those who have charge of the EN-.
ployment of help in the factories o.
the city make a suggestion TO schoo
boys that ii will be well for them 10
heed if they wish TO secure employ
ment during the summer vacation
They are advised TO secure the reQuir-
ed certificate from Superintendent
Hayden before the close of the school
term. If they do not have this certi-
ficate they can not secure employment
in Illinois. unless over 16 years of age
and large enough so that their age
will not be questioned. AS il will be
difficult to secure the certificates dur
ing the summer months, il will be
well for the boys who wish them to
secure them in advance. In this con
nection the factory authorities state
they expect to employ large number
of boys during the summer as orders
are coming in heavier than usual.
