Miss Stedman, the county superin-
tendent, has received the following
notice from State Superintendent Law
renee: Sunday, January 25th, is
Child Labor Day in the churches, and
the day following, Monday, January
Goth, has been suggested for it's OBJ
servance by the schools throughout
the county. While child labor may not
be prevalent in South Dakota as In
those states having large cities, 1t Is
no doubt true that the custom of keep
ing children out of school to work on
the farm Is quite prevalent. Believing
that such labor Is a direct enemy to
the school and to good school work, /
would recommend that you ask each
teacher of your county to plan for the
observance Of Child Labor Day either
by presenting the subject themselves,
or through IN address on the subject
by some one in the community who is
interested"
