The idea that children leave
school to go to work. because their
parents need the money, is vigorous
ly combatted in a bulletin just is
sued by the United States bureau of
education. The authors of the bulle-
tion have made careful study of
trade and labor conditions among
girls in Worcester, Mass, prelimi-
nary to the establishment of c trade
school for girls. They find that from
one-half to threefourths of the girls
at work in the factories could have
had further schooling if they had
wanted to or if their parents had
cared to insist upon it.
The survey showed that the num-
Der of girls between II and 16 years
of age who leave school is constant
ly increasing. During the past five
years many more girls between those
ages left the Worcester schools than
can be accounted for by increase in
population. Only about II per cent
of them had finished the grammar
schools; most of them left in TIE
sixth and seventh grades.
Why did the girls leave school?
Various reasons were assigned by the
girls themselves. Some thirty girls
said they did not like school,"
could not get along with the teach
err" were not promoted, or wanted
to go to work. Two were working
to help pay for a piano. One of these
was a cash girl of IA years who had
left the ninth grade to go to work in
a department store for 50, later $3.50
week. Another was a girl OF Is
from the eighth grade, who went to
work in a corset factory for 81 and
rose to s4.s2. Still another girl was
taking music lessons and contributing
to the payment on the piano.
Twenty-seve girls were found at
home. In some cases they had left
to help in housework, while a few
had left at time of temporary
stress and then had not returned to
school. Four girls had changed places
with the mother, who worked in
corset factory, laundry, or some such
place, while the girl whose wage.
earning power was small, kept house
for the mother of the children.

family of eight children, living in
apparently direst poverty, would

daughter stay in school longer, If she
would. The mother of another family

Yet the l5-year- old daughter with 4
seventh grade education had been
sent to work in a paper goods fac
tory at 81 a week. The question,
Why did you leave school? was put
to some 336 more mature workers in
the corset trade; 81 per cent of these
women had left school between the
ages of - and 1G and fully so per
cent because of their dislike of school
or because they wanted to so to
work. OF "A workers in a clothing
factory 50 per cent had left school
between the ages of 13 and 16, %
per cent of their own violition."
In the opinion of the authors of the
bulletin conditions such as were
found in Worcester emphasize the
imperative need for special training
of a practical sort for girls between
the ages of IL and IS. In TIE main
the children left school simply be-
cause they disliked school work Not
getting the kind of training they
might have liked and would have
profited by, they blindy joined the

tented girls that go from one monot-

TEN MILLIONS ARE
READY FOR BANKS
WILL BE PRORN;EC 70 STATES
BY SECRETARY CT TREASURY
Two PET LENT.

Washington, June 1-Secretary
McAdoo tonight announced the dis
tribution by statcg Ot the additional
S10,0C0000 of federal funds which
the treasury department will deposit
in the national banks. His statement
also discussed the manner in which
the banks had received the recent
order that per cent interest yearly
be charged on all government de-
posits.
OF the $50 active depositaries on
May /, when the secretary issued
his statement Mr. McAdoo said only
seven have declined to pay the in
terest charge and ceased to be gov
renment depositaries, surrendering
their fedora, funds to the treasury
department The $lO,OOO,OOO and this
surrendered amount, aggregating SILL
5S1 500, has been apportioned in va
rious amounts among 607 national
banks in l75 cities and towns in the
forty -eight states and the District of
Columbia,
The seven banks unwilling to pay
interest, the secretary said, were:
The National City bank, tie Ma
tional Bank of Commerce and the
Chemical National bank of New York
City; the National Bank of Com
merce OF New London, Conn. the
Merchants National bank of Savan
nah. Ga; the First National bank of
Buffalo, Wyo.. and the Seaboard Ma
tional bank of San Francisco.
"V1rious banks in different sec
tions of the country in expressing
their willingness to pay the interest
charge" said Mr. McAdoo. strongly
commended the wisdom and fairness
of the administrations new policy in
imposing the charge, although it nee
essarily reduced their profit In
some applications for a share of the
additional $1O,OOO,OOO, banks, espe-
cially the largest ones in Boston and
Chicago, requested million dollars
or more of the deposits"
New York Wants Funds.
Twenty national bank depositaries
in New York City have notified the
department that they desire to retain
the deposits and that they will pay
the per cent interest.
The secretary announced he had
reduced the government deposits in
number of banks, which, he said,
'at the close of the last administra-
ton held amounts which seemed to be
excessive or unjustified, the reduc
tons in most case being made against
the protests of the banks, which de-
sired to retain the funds notwith-
standing the interest charge.
Under the distribution of the new
deposits, the thirteen southern states
will receive $2,292,OOO in 159 banks
in 127 cities; the eight middle states
$2.932 900 in 1G4 banks in 1873 cities
and the nine western states $950,00O
in 72 banks and in 60 cities.
Apportionments were made on the
basis of population, capital and sur
plus, needs of the respective sections
of the country and the circulation
status of the banks, preference being
given to those institutions whose
present circulation amounts to not
less than 40 per cent of their out
standing capital. OF the COZ banks
receiving the deposits, ia already
were government depostaries and
some of the remaining 433 banks had
been previously known as inactive de-
positaries, holding only nominal bal
ances.
