CHILD LABOR NOT

Sentiment Expressed by Milwaukee
Superintendent of Schools.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 25.-'Children
have labored since Adam lived and
Eve spun: and the labor generally has
been good for their bodies and for their
souls" said DR.. Carroll G. Pearse, su-
perintendent of the Milwaukee schools
and president of the National Educa-
ton society, in an address to the an
nual conference of the national child
labor committee which convened here
tonight.
Child labor, in his opinion, is not an
unmtxed evil. TT is an evil he de-
clared, when the physical or moral
conditions surrounding the child are
unwholeson1e, when by 1t he is de-
prived Of education for the mind and
Of the Joy Of life"
The conference will consider through
it's three day session here the dual
question Of child labor and education.

If there are few very young boys
who abuse the privilege and are in the
newspaper selling business as a cloak
for them to do a little begging on the
side, a cautionary word from a cop
will end that feature. Already the Pc
lice have orders to stop these boys from
selling newspapers on the streets after
s o'clock in the evening and that is
about as far as the authorities should
interfere with the business Of the
newsboys 1t may be that Alderman
Donohue intends to retire from politics
before the newsboys now under IA
reach their majority, but some Of the
over-14 chaps are now near the voting
age. 1t is safe to say that the boys
now back of the movement for the
