ARE CHILDREN WORTH SAVINGS

Are the children OF the United
States worth one-eighth as much as
the bugs? Hon. Andrew ]. Peters, a
member of Congress from Massachu-
sets, asked this rather startling ques.
ton at louisville last Suoday at a
mass-meetilg on child labor. Mr.
Peters showed that the Bureau Of
Animal Industry costs the country
1864, 750 a year, and that the Bureau
of Plant Industry costs $2,051 ,6S6,
The proposed children's bureau would
cost $29,440 and would investigate
child labor, infant mortality and other
important phases of child conserva,
ton. 1t is being opposed, of course,
by some manufacturers who want to
mines and other places admirably
adapted for the growth of mind and
body and the development OF sturdy
American men and women. In some
quarters the investigation of child la.
Dor is regarded as an unwarranted
Invasion of personal liberty. Certain

in their early days. The Journal Of
the American Medical Association
says that no doubt we shall soon have

where it pleases. In the meantime =,
