OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES
Ix.-ChiId Labor.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Child labor is a pressing and vital
economic problem. 1t is not only field
for the crusade of the humanitarians.
To the student of the humanitics the
plight of the Individual boy or girl toll

economist looks not alone at the personal
equation; he calculates as well the con-
tamination of the entire body polite and
the insidious degeneracy of industry it.

Of diseased and stunted children who
also, notwithstanding their deficiencies, in
time will propagate another generation
of pitiable misfits.
The fault is not in the child: nor is it
fully that of the employer who considers
himself forced by industrial competition
to profit by Juvenile toll nor even that Of
the parents whose fear of proverty sends
the ungrown offspring forth to bring back
a pittance to the family tenement The
fault as well as the ultimate concern,
rests with society in general. and it is
gratifying that the United States at last
is endeavorins to catch up with the
European nations, which were far ahead
of US in this essential reformation until
recently.
Owen K. Lovejoy, general secretary of
the national child labor committee. is

there were no accepted standards in this
country for protection against child ex-

Ages Standardized
for Child Workers

lied to great extent throughout the
Union. Nearly all states absolutely pro-
hibit tho presence of a child in q factory,
mil, glass house, etc, under fourteen
years Of age, and some put the limit at
sixteen. Some states will not permit
night work by minors under eighteen.
But there has been no concerted action
by all the commonwealth. and the vari-
GUS state regulations differ widely in
nearly every respect. 1t is urged that a
uniform child labor law should be enacted
by all the states, and that then a stern
and constantly alert public opinion should
insist upon its enforcement. It is also
asserted that the age Limit should be
raised to eighteen years. as it is an un-
disputed biological fact that the most Inn
portant formative period physically and
mentally is between the ages Of twelve
and eighteen. No longer do the children

That this country must be prepared tc

Plea for Efficient Army.

4 plea for a more efficient army was
made by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief
of staff. United States Army. The work
OF the army since the civil war, said Gen.
Wood, should commend itself to civiliza-
ton as constructive rather than destruc-
tive. He referred to the sanitary work
done by the army In Porto Rico, Cuba
and the Philippines. 1t would have been
years before this country would have
taken up typhoid anti-vaccine If the army
had not demonstrated on a large scale
the success of this method Of typhoid
prevention. Gen. Wood declared.
Others who spoke were Hilary A. Her
bert, Secretary of the Navy under Cleve-
land Corp. James Tanner, Senator
John W. Kern, Admiral George ". Baird
and Col John McElroy.
Senator Kern declared that the south
has done Its part since the war to bring
about the great development which has
taken place in this country.
In pointing out that the civil war was
the result of difference OF opinion be-
tween the north and south as to the
meaning of the Constitution of the United
States, Mr.. Herbert stated that this diff
ference had been for all time settled,
and that the people should be cautious
when they contemplate any changes in
