Decrease In Number Of Child Wcsksrs
in The United States

The child Labor is decreasing

the Report on Occupations re-

that between 1900 and 1910 there
was decrease of 129, 236 in the
number of children 10 to Is years
OF age engaged in nom agricul-
tural pursuits. OF this number
u, $50 were boys and 81, $40

commenting on the Census re-

a decrease in the mum Der okchild-

have never had Official figures to
prove such decrease. Since our

cured improved child labor or
compulsory education laws in
every state of the Union. There
are still 8 states, however, in
which the generally accepted ID

states that do not properly regp-
late the employment of ch,ldren>

and various occupations outside
of factories and stores. So we
still have plenty of work to do.
We regard the census figures as

because they suggest what can
be done if the American people
