For a Sick Child

For child or infant sick with brain
fever or Inflammation of any sort,
where quietness is very important:
take two ordinary bed Stats, wrap
them well with cotton or fine rags and
place one on each side of the patient.
Tie the arms and legs firmly, but not
too tight to stop circulation, to the
boards. This will keep the restless
child in perfectly quiet position and
help greatly in the cure of the same.

Reward.

The less you require looking after,
the more able you are to stand alone
and complete your tasks, the greater
your reward. Then If you cannot only
do your work, but direct intelligently
and effectively the efforts of others.
your reward is in exact ratio, and the
more people you direct, and the higher
the intelligence you can rightly lend,
the more valuable is your life.-Elbert

CHILD LABOR.
Meeting Of National Committee IN
Boston in January.

The sixth annual conference on Child
Labor will be held under the direction
nf the National Child Labor Commit
tee in Boston, January Is to is, 1910.
This is the first time that a conference
of this nature has been held in New
England The program includes adj
dresses and papers by some OF the
most prominent social workers Of the
country and the conference is expect
ID to be as interesting as it is prac-
teal.
Mr.. Everett W. Lord, secretary for
New England, will report at that con-
ference the results of Investigations
made in every New England state dur
ing the past year; these lnVestiga-
tions show conclusively the presence
Of injurious child labor in New Eng
land, He will also report popular
movements in several of the states for
i,nproved child labor legislation. In
these movements the National Child
Labor Committee through its local
representative. is taking active part,
and expects to continue the cam
paign until complete success is at
tanned in every state.
Augusta may congratulate HerSelt
that this evil of child labor has al
most entirely disappeared within her
boundaries The policy of our Board
Of Education has been to secure etfl-
eient truant officers who are so stu
ated that they can devote abundant
time to the work. The services of Mr..
Napoleon Bison in the Webster Dis
;rct have been particularly effective
and have resulted in turning many pu-
pills from the factory to the schools,
Both day and evening. The school
census is taken with the utmost care,
and the present rigorus enforcement
Of the law, as recently amended. makes
it almost impossible that a child who
is able to receive an education, should
come to maturity illiterate.
One of the main difficulties at pres
ent lies in the fact that, after the TAX
ing of the school census in March,
families who are indifferent to edu-
cative influences move into the city
and are not discovered, except by acci-
dent until the census is taken again.
Such families, or any others whose
children are not in school, should be
reported to the school officials by any
who learn of them. Negligent or
greedy parents should have some other
penalty than ignorant children.
