Georgia was the last state in the
Union with manufacturing interests
to pass a child labor law.
That law remains today the lowest
in standards of any in the nation.
Net only are children of twelve pee
mitted to work in factories, but even
this age limit is brought down to ten
years by exemptions which other
states have long ago gotten rid of.
The great movement for higher and
more uniform standards of child pro-
lection that has extended throughout
this land and throughout the civil
lied world, a movement that has nee
essarily followed the great industrial
changes of the last century has failed
to touch in a vital way the state Of
Georgia.
Over 300 children between ten
years and fourteen are employed III
textile mills alone in Georgia in 1913.
Hundreds of children are working
now in stores, soda fountains, mes
senger service, places of amusement
and at other employment that gives
them no chance for education nor for
normal physical development, with
out restriction as to age or hours.
The Sheppard Child Labor Bill
prohibits employment in factories,
mills, stores, messenger service and a
few other occupations to child
rem under fourteen; the minimum
age already established in all except
five or six states. 1t contains none Of
the old exemptions that have been
found to be loopholes for violation.
Instead of the old system of mere
ly taking an affidavit of the parent
that the child is old enough to work
children between fourteen and six
teen are required to have employ
ment certificates issued by the school
superintendent. Before these can be
granted not only must proof of the
child's age be furnished, but the child
must be able to read and write and
must have attended school at least

FIVE MINUTES WITH
THE FUNNY FELLOWS
How it Looked to Gibson.

Charles Dana Gibson is said by an
exchange to have been amused at re-
ceiving not long ago printed circu-
lar, signed by an automobile firm, that
read:
you are cordially invited to parti-
pate in our grand 800 prize drawing
contest. Each participant may submit
one or more drawings, advertising our
automobile, and the winner will receive
a grand cash prize of 500. Drawings
must be sent prepaid, they must be
original, and all unsuccessful drawings
will remain the property of the under
signed" 'ttss
Mr.. Gibson, who can scarcely be per-
suaded to make drawings at $1,000
apiece, smiled over the printed circular
then took a sheet of notepaper, and,
still smiling, wrote to the automobile
firm:
you are cordially invited to parti-
cipate in my grand SO prize automo-
bile contest. Each participant may sub
nit one or more automobiles, fully
equipped, of his own manufacture, and
the winner will receive a grand cash
prize of $40 in gold. The automobile

The Battle of Atlanta

On the morning Of the Goth of July
1868, the main body of the Union
Army had crossed to the south side Of
Peach Tree Greek, within three miles
of Atlanta. The Confederates were
within the strong entertainments with
which, for more that a year, they hal
been surrounding that important place
On the morning of the 21st of July,
finding themselves closely pressed the
Confederate soldiers abandoned their
outer line of earthworks, and took
possession of the inner line or re-
doubts, strongly constructed. The
!egions of Sherman swept into the de-
fences abandoned and closed around
the doomed city. A heavy battle was
fought on the morning of the 21st, and

The Test.

What lisa failhre?' It's only spur
To man who receives it right,
And it makes the spirit within him stir
To go in once more and fight,
If you never have failed it's an even
guess
You never have won high success.
What is a miss? It's a practice shot
Which we often must take to enter
The list of those who can hit the spot
OF the bull's-eye in the center,
If you never have sent bullet wide,
You never have put mark inside.
What is a knock-down? A count of ten
Which man may take for a rest
1t will give him chance to come up
again .....,
And do his particular best.
If you've never been bumped in a
rafting go,
You never have come to the scratch,
know.

A Clever Baby.

Il have met many proud mothers, -
says a Minneapolis physician, but nj
maternal pride eclipses that of a
young woman to whose baby I have
given some attention.
Zone day she was pointing out to
me the superlative exceIIences of her
Offspring, its intelligence, clevernes3,
etc. when she wound up with this:
See, doctor, watch now, as l take
him in my arms. Do observe how in
telligently he breathes. "-Lippincott's.

Where Georgia Stands NorO in Child Labor Legislation

twelve weeks of the year previous t.
the time the certificate is issued.
Night work is prohibited to child
rem under sixteen years of age.
1t will first of all prevent children
from being exploited under the age
of fourteen. 1t will prevent them from
being lured from school by the hun
dreds of employments now open to
them.
No longer will parents be tempted
to sacrifice the child's future for the
sake of the wages they can bring,
wages which seem big at first, but
which count for little in comparison
with the loss of earning power in lat
ter years.
The educational requirement will
mean simply this-that parents who
expect their children to go to work
at fourteen will in the future see
that they learn to read and write be-
fore they reach that age. The punish
men for neglect of their children
will be the loss of their earnings I'M
til this bare rudiment of schooling
is accomplished.
The few children who will have t.
quit work and return to school long
enough to read and write in the next
two years are minor consideration
compared with the thousands of chill
dren who will be kept from illiteracy
and ignorance in the future.
The Sheppard Bill was prepared by
the National Child Labor Committee
in cooperation with the Georgia
Child Labor Committee, the Atlanta
Georgian, the State Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs and the State Commits
sicner of Labor and Statistics.
1t is endorsed and supported by the
Mothers Congress of Georgia, the At
lanta Federation of Womens Clubs,
the Council of Jewish Women of At
lanta and by women's clubs, labor
organizations and churches all owe
Georgia, who feel that the time has
come for the stain of child labor to
be wiped from the Empire State of
the South.

been in every respect remarkable,

that a previous attack had put the
