In the Interest of the Move
ment against Child Labor
in the Nation.


NEW YORK, Jan. 21:-Eyery presi-
dent OF a college OF. university. and
1900 school principals in large cities
throughout the country have just
been asked by the National Child
Labor Committee to observe Monday,
January q. as Child Labor Day In
schools ana colleges. This is new
feature this year OF the Child Labor
Day which for seven yesfs past has
been widely observed by cIergymen
of all denominations. The National
Child Labor Committee believes there
will be a general response to this ap-
peal to the educators OF the country,
since 1t is coming to be universally
recognized not only that child labor
interferes, with education. but that
the attitude of the children them
selves is leading factor in the child
labor problem.
OF the 5000 elerg!men to whom
the Child Labor Day appeal was sent,
more than 800 have responded with
personal letters assuring their sup
port Of the plan. To each of the 5000
a pamphlet of facts and statistics
was sent, ana the committee con-
siders it significant of the inereas-
ingly intelligent Interest Of the pub
lie in child labor, that SO many as
800 have asked for more detailed in
formation about the laws in their
own states.
Cordial endorsement of Child Labor
Day has been received from the
Union of Baptists and Free Baptists
and the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America.
Bishop Israel of Erie has expressed
his cordial approval as follows:
While an ardent believer in the
observance of the Lords Day as APP
pointed in the Church Year and elab-
Grated in the Prayer Book am SO
deeply interested in, and consider the
subject Of Child Labor SO important
= question, that + give an unqualified
endorsement to the observance of
January 2s sexagesima Sunday as
what has been termed Child Labor
Day
Surely the love Our Lord mani
tested for children can be so en-
phasized upon this day. when we are
preparing for the Lenten season, as
to make most effective sermon for
the release OF childhood from over
whelmingi burdens, and the proper
training and care Of these little ones
physically, mentally and spiritually.
@The exploiting of children for
gain is SO burning question that
every heart, filed with the love OF
Christ must desire to give voice to
an earnest protest
Others who have been heard from
are Bishop Gailor, of Tennessee;
Bishop Harding, of Washington, D.
c.; Bishop Scarborough, Of New Jer-
sey; Bishop Mccormick, of Western
Michigan, and Bishop spalding, of
Utah.
The Joint Social Service Commits
sion of the Protestant Episcopal
church has written to all diocesan
social service commissions. urging
them to bring the matter before the
clergy in their respective dioceses.

Master of Ceremonies, Ladies and
Gentlemen:
The orator of the day at the Eman-
cipation celebration at Fisk Univer'
sity was Bishop Evans Tyree, Of the
African Methodist Church. Bishop
Tyree was at his best on the occasion
and in his plain and philosophical
way delivered an address that was
touching and inspiring. He said in
part:
| assure you l heartily appreciate
the honor accorded me by you in
that you have invited me to be pres
ent to say word to you to-day. Mr..
Alexander asked me what my sub
ject was. Well, l have no subject,
and yet, am going to say, We ought
to all feel that we are having an
Emancipation Jubilee. In the Bible,
if we read the Old Testament,
think, Leviticus the 25th chapter,
10th and 18th verses, we will find
something said concerning the Jubi-
lee of the people of that date, refer
ring to the Jewish people, who, under
certain rules, had their time divided
into Sabbatic years, and the fiftieth
year was called the year of Jubilee
So we have had a school of SabbatiC
years, figuratively speaking; so WE
come to the fiftieth anniversary; VIC
come to the Emancipation Jubilee o.
