GARDEN WORK FOR CHILDREN
Relief Urged Before Child Labor Com
mittee Convention.

Relief Urged Before Child Labor Com
mlttee Convention.
Louisville, Ky.-Purposeful labor
in connection with their school was
urged for children relieved of grind
ing labor before the final session of
the eighth annual conference of the
national child labor committee by p.
P. Claxton. United States commits
sioner of education. For the mill
towns of the South he outlined plan
already worked out to some degree
whereby the children of the factory
EMPLOYEES should contribute to the
support of the family by gardening
Teachers should be competent to in
struct in agriculture and animal in
dustry, he declared, and should be
engaged for the year through, the
winter schoolroom work to be grad
ually lessened as the time for putting
in the gardens approached, until the
work out of doors, under supervision
should use all of the child's working
day.
There is plenty of land in or near
all these towns, he said, the project
is thoroughly feasible, and, he assert
ed, under the least favorable condi-
tons the child gardener, doing what
he would enjoy doing, could produce
toward the support of himself and
the family, at least as much as now,
when he works long hours in the
mills and destroys his health and
future usefulness. For other indus
trial sections of the country the same
principle, he thought, could be work
ed out along other lines.
