A WISE

The decision of the School Board at
their meeting Wednesday, to retain
the school transfer system was a wise
one, for unquestionably the transfer
System is one of the essentials for a
thoroughly compact, effective and sat
isfactory system of education.
The w~astefulness and ineficiency of
the little one-room. ~one-teacher school
with a various assortment of classes,
is fast being relegated to the past, and
in line with the development OF the
modern Tirit otorg 'nization and con-
sOlidatixd the "e.>... schools with its

giving in return a greater, fuller n

The central school is not possible
without the transfer, and following
the increasing spirit of evolution in

fer became an institution, because it
became g. necessity.
That transfers have not become uni
yersal is because evolution moves
slowly. And yet, considering the OK
ceedingly remarkable development OF
consolidation that has been going on
in the industrial world, in the steel
industry, the beef industry, manufac-
turing. practically all, if not all, indus
tries, it is a cause Of wonderment tnat
the schools have been SO slow to re-
spond to this movement, that the
leaders in this great industry, if we
may SO term it, have waited SO long
to discover that in education as wei
as in other lines, efficiency and econ
omy could only be had through con
solidation. But the fact remains tina,
there are many sections that have sc
far failed to appreciate and benefit

But while recognizing that these

there must be supervision, and OF

to the age limit, the hours OF Work,
etc. With uniform laws and all the
mills, in all the states, placed upon
terms of absolute equality, the prin-
cipal objection to legislation framed
IN the interest of children, to better
protect them, to discourage the en-
ployment Of very young children, n
to keep the hours of labor within what
the children can stand, is removed.
The recommendations OF the com
mittee, which were adopted by the con-
vention without a dissenting vote,
were:
"A minimum age limit of fourteen
years, except in agriculture and 40
nestle service, shutting all younger
children out of factories and similar
work.
Children not to be employed in dan
| gerous or injurious labor.
".ChiIdren not to be employed who
! cannot read and write. This is alto

urged by some but vilti";s!y oppoa'

der eighteen to be employed after Z

".An eight-hour day for boys and all
women.
1.-The requirement of age certlh-
Gates as provided for in Louisiana and
Kentucky.
".Birth certificates to be required In
every Southern State.
Strict Sanitary inspection, with
strict penalties to enforce the law
bearing upon this subject.
The age limit has been material
" raised from what it is now in a
number of states, and the daily hours
of labor are much shorter than the ten
I or twelve now in force; but in view OF
the fact that the labor organizations
throughout the country composed OF
men are insisting upon an eight hOul
day. it is certainly not unreaSonaDle

Uniform Child Labor Laws PROPOSED
By the Southern Conference.

Times-D embcrat:
"The Southern Child Labor Confer
ence has agreed. as We hoped it would,
on a legislative program eminently
practical and conservative. 1t Is not
20 be expected that there would be
complete unanimity on all points, or
that the manufacturing interests as a
whole, would accept all the reforms
proposed. 1t is difficult to change in
dustrial conditions that have prevail
ed for any length of time; and, as ex-
pected, a minority report was pre-
scented giving the views of the en-
ployers. The report contained little
beyond a postponement of action until
each state had made, through a COM
mission appointed by it's Governor, an
investigation of the conditions affect
ing child labor, when the several COM
missions would meet and decide upon
the legislation to be recommended. 1t
is needless to say that this plan
meant simply delayed action; and it
secured so little support that, after
some discussion, it was withdrawn.
AS a matter of fact, the breach Is
not so wide as it once was; and we are
drawing nearer together in the settle
ment of problems involved. The press
and public opinion have made them
selves felt in this matter. A great
many abuses that formerly existed II
regard to child labor have already
been corrected: and the time is ripe
for completing the work. The ex
cuse originally offered for child labol
in the South-the poverty of this sec
tion-which threw upon every one
young as well as old, the necessity o
working has passed. The South ha
grown much richer in the last two de
cades, largely through it's manufae
turers; and while it continues to nee'
labor in many lines. it is becominI
less and less necessary to depend upo1
the labor Of children.
Moreover, the plan proposed by tn
conference-uniformity of legislativ
action-solves the main difficulty tina
heretofore has stood in the way 9
solving this problem-that one stat
should be given an advantage over tn
other BY the greater latitude allowe

II ID not improbable, however, that
under the influence of the president,
q majority OF the Minnesota members
wo,tln have voted for the report had
not 5tfe conference committee made so
many direct discfiihinations against
scheduled, sections and administrative
features Of the bill IN which Mime
sofa was vitality interested.
The first vote of Importance was on
the motion to reeommit the bill to
the conference committee.
Many members voted for this, be-
Hevihg that the btll could be i'm

The. house organization defeated this
motion by only 1--WE votes, the vote
being 1856 for it and 1911 against. The
motion to adopt the conference re-
port followed, the house organization
winning by a majority Of IL.
Mr.. Clark, the minority leader, and
many Of his colleagues, denounced the
bill, and chastised the Republicans foI
failing, as the Democrats allege, to
revise the tariff downward and thus
keep their party pledge.
Perhaps t1e most sensational speech
Of the day was by Mr.. Mann QlL),
Republican, who sald he would vote
against the report provided the rates
on pulp and print paper as reduced
by the house were not retained. He
denounced that particular schedule
and he declared that Canada would
take such action regarding pulp wood
and print paper - to place an almost
,prohibitory price upon paper In this
county.
