CHILD LABOR.

Throughout nature there Ia
nothing so woefully appalling,
nothing so brutally cruel or so
horrible, as the spectacle pre-
scented by the human species
when for profit it exploits and
sacrifices its own offspring.
All other creatures exercise
the greatest care and watchful-
ness over theirs, safeguarding
them from every harm and
when occasion demands it Civ
ing up their lives that their
young may live. Even birds of
prey have been known to pick
the flesh from their own breasts
to feed their starving fledge-
lings.
The entire brute creation in
sttnctively protects the young,
as if in obedience to some natu-
raj law, and it is not until man
is reached in his highest devel-
. opment that this law is violated.
1t is not until civilization in
. what we claim to be its highest
type is reached that man, with
, full knowledge of what he is do
ing, grinds the bone, blood and
. flesh of his children into money.
With brutality that is strictly
. human he cheerfully offers up
his children as a sacrifice upon
. the altar Of Mammon. For the
sake of profit be does what the
lower animals will sacrifice their
lives to prevent.
. Nowhere in all nature can the
horror be duplicated; nowhere is
! there such a terrible example Of
!. debased depravity as that pre-
! scented by child labor.

70 Prevent Padding
Of SCHOOL Census
STATE sUPERINTENDENT HAS 4
PLAN HE BELIEVES WILL
BE SUCCESSFUL.

An entirely new system Of school
enumeration throughout the state.
TO prevent the possibility Of padding
tho enumerator's returns and insur-
ing an equitable distribution of the
state school funds has been arranged
by State Superintendent X. II. VIII
son and viii bee put into operation in
Tulsa when the state school census
is taken next January.
In the past there has been no
method OF ascertaining whether
school enumerators called at every
home for the purpose Of determining
how many children of school age
were in each family. and it has al
ways been possible to give a fictitious
enumeration II the school census
taker was so inclined.
The new blanks are put up in book
form. with one page for each family.
After taking the names Of the chill
dren Of the age specified, the emu
merator must secure the signature OF
their parents or guardian, and this
insures a return from an authoritative
source instead Of allowing the emu
meratOr TO guess. or TO use his own
recollection Of the number OF chill
dren in a family
The distribution OF the state school
fund is based upon the returns Of the
enumerators. and while Il is not done
in many instances, II Is easy TO seeI
that by padding returns. an amount
greater than is actually coming TO itI
may be secured in any particular
district. The per capita distribution
last year was about si.S5, and byI
adding a few hundred names, the
salary Of an extra teacher might be
paid. In addition to insuring an
equitable distribution of funds. the
new plan Superintendent Wilson has
adopted will furnish accurate infor
nation as to the number of children |
of school age In any particular dis
trict. which is required in issuing
bonds.
A similar plan has been In practice
In a number of older states for n
number Of years. and has been found

cities the enumeration dropped OF
