MOTHERS CONGRESS
HOLDS A SESSION
Women Discuss Fairgrounds,
Child Labor and Other Per-
tinent Topics.

Interesting talks and discussion were
the feature Of the meeting yesterdaya
afternoon Of the Utah State Congress
Of Mothers, held at the home Of Mrs. W.
Y. Rice. 1853 East South Temple street.
In opening the meeting the president,
Mrs. @. q. Allen, referred to various
matters IN which the congress is in,
terested, Mrs. Adolph Simon read her
paper on Child Labor" which had
previously been presented to the Lit
erary club and the principals Of the
city schools.
An interesting talk on the need Of
proper public Fairgrounds for the chill
dren was given by Miss Kate Williams,
secretary Of the newly formed Parks
and Fairgrounds association, and
something Of what the association pro-
poses to do for the children was out
lined
A the meeting II was decided that
during the early part Of the coming
year circles will be formed in various
parts Of the city, and a systematic
course Of study in subjects Of interest
to mothers taken up.
The members Of the congress were
entertained by Mrs. Rice, Refreshments
being served at the close Of the meeting
In reviewing the conditions In the
public schools Of Salt Lake, Mrs.
Adolph Simon said:
According to our latest school CEN
sus, taken this summer. there were. in
round numbers. q, 900 children OF
school age in Salt Lake. The enroll
ment at the beginning OF the present
school year was 16, 000 The number
attending private school was approx
imately 1000, leaving 1000 children to
be accounted for who are Of school age
and are not enrolled in any public
school. Last year there were about 800
children exempted from school attend
ance, and superintendent Christensen
says there are about 200 children who
are not in school and should be. These
are notified, Of course, as soon as the
1rsL SIX weeks Of the scnOol year are
up, that the law requires them to be
In school. There are always about 9, 900
children 6 and years old who do not
enter school, parents deeming it best
not to enter them too young. There are
about 500 children between the ages Of
IA and Is who have completed the
eighth grade and do not continue in
school This leaves approximately 700
children to be accounted for.
1T is from these numbers that we de-
rive the many young people who roam
our streets at night and caused a Wis
itOr from the east, interested IN the
work, to say to Judge McMaster that
he saw more children on the streets Of
salt Lake City at night than he has
seen In any city which he had visited
from the Atlantic coast to this point.
