Prevalence of Child labor.
WANTS EVIDENCE TO PROSECUTE

Locally.

State Labor COMMISSIONS Maupln was in
a critical humor during his talk Monday
afternoon to the social science department
of the Woman's club. He asserted that
local officials charged with a part in tn
forcing the child labor law have not turned
in to his office the reports called for by
law, and intimated that evidence is In
possession of these officials which would
enable him to maintain prosecutions if
put in his hands.
The meeting had been called that local
conditions might be discussed and plans
made to prevent the unlawful employment
of women and children during the holt
days. Mr.. Maupin stated his chief handi-
cap in starting prosecution lay in the ex-
treme difficulty Of getting evidence sEd
he criticised the superintendents Of schools,
ffuant officers and inspectors under the
state child labor law for not doing all that
the law specifically states as their duty.
Beginning with the superintendent of
schools, he stated that only one copy of a
certificate permitting a child under age to
work has been sent to his office, while the
law requires that copies of all such certi-
ficates issued shall be sent to him. That
the inspectors have not fulfii1ed all neir
duty he attempted to show by announcing
that the record Of all children employed
III All GEldulionlAtAlls NnANA lH1 law" BAO-
vides shall be posted at the entrance Of
such establishment, is not so posted, as a
rule. For example, he named one Of the
large department stores which, instead Of
the required list, merely hooks the certi-
ficates OF the children employed on a nail
near the door. This, Mr.. Maupin said,
was doing better than the majority do.
GApsOn States His Position.
Attendance Officer E. ID. Gepson, Of the
Omaha schools, resented Mr.. Maupin's as
sertions. but confessed to delinquency in
sending In copies of certificates issued to
children. He then, in the course of OK
planning the duties and difficulties OF his
office. announced that he had evidence OF
violation Of the child labor law, but when
questioned by one of the club women Why
he did not turn 1t over to the labor COM
missioner. replied that that was not his
business. Questioned as to his moral obli-
cation In cooperating with all authori-
ties for the enforcement of the law, Mr..

TEACHING ADULT
BLIND IN THEIR
OWN HOMES

tReprlnted From the Seventy fourth
Annual Report Of the Trustees OF the
Perkins Institution and Massachusetts
School for the Bllndl
The plan of giving instruction to
the adult blind in their homes has
been IN successful operation, and the
results produced thereby show the
wisdom Of the state In making a pro
vision FOR this purpose. Indeed. each
succeeding year bears testimony to
the value OF this branch of our work
and to the necessity of Its further
development.
We are convinced by observation
and experience that the system of
teaching the blind at the place OF
their residence is OF inestlmable ben,
eft to a number of men and women
who have lost their sight after reach
Ing the age OF maturity IL has many
features which commend | not only
to serious consideration but to gen.
eral adoption in preference to such
arrangements as involve the gather
ing together, in one place, of large
numbers OF persons similarly afilict-
ed, and the lubjecting Of them to the
disadvantages which are inevitable in
such congregations. 1t furnishes the
blind with suitable occupation, and
relieves them from one of the sad
dest consequences OF their condi-
tion-enfOrced idleness in unbroken
darkness. II opens to them channels
OF pleasure and storehouses of infoT-
nation, and helps them not only to
beguile their lonely hour, but to do
something with their hands and TO
lead more useful and congenial life.
While il lifts them out OF the isola,
tion and idleness into which they are
thrust by reason Of their inhrmity, it
does not take them away from their
homes and does not detach them
from the communities to which they
belong, but Keeps them near their
neighbors and friends, and enables
them to preserve unbroken their ties
OF kinship and to enjoy their social
relations. Nor does 1t bring them
within the category OF pitiful pauper-
ism, thereby wounding their sense Of
self-Tespect offending the dignity of
their manhood and womanhood, low.
ering their moral standard, degrad.
ing them in their own consciousness
and in the estimate of their fellow
men, and rendering them abject in
mind and spirit.
1t is the desire of the Ohio Com
mission for the Blind to undertake
the work OF home teaching so sue,
cessfully carried on In MASSACHUSETTS.
