PROVIDENCE, r. l., Dec. 27.--Many i'm
portant meetings were held here today in
connection with the gathering Of historians,
educators and students of political science,
under the auspices OF their own university.
International law was considered by the
American Political Science association.
Prof. Charles Nobel Gregory of the State
university of Iowa discussed "The Three
Mile Limit" in the internal fisheries dis
cussicn.
The Economic association and the So
Geological society held a joint session this
evening The subjects discussed were
western Civilization and the Birthrate''
and THE Extent Of Child Labor in the
United States"
Walter f. Wilcox of Cornell read pa
per on the former subject 1t was followed
by a discussion by Edward Ross Of the
University Of Wisconsin The paper on
child labor was read by Samuel NJ. Lindsay
of the University Of Pennsylvania and sec
retary of the national child labor commit
tee. He said:
The national government should do more
to give its citizens adequate information
concerning the ills OF child labor, which
mas so many ramidcauons In matters Of
the greatest public concern, such as the
public school, normal family life, the phys
lcal efficiency of our racial stock and the
moral and intellectual training of our
citizenship.
Dr. Lindsay condemned severely the Ma
tional Civic federation which, he said, had
attempted to discredit and minimize the
statistics of child labor. This attempt, he
declared, was palpably intended as an
apology for employers who have resisted
legislation to protect childhood and violated
existing agreements and legislation.
