CHILDLABOR LAW
AFFECTS 100000
Report Made to National Manu-
facturers Commends the
States New Statute

The child labor law which will be-
come effective on January l will affect
about 10000 youngsters in Pennsyl-
Vania and will prove a blessing to
them and to future generations, de-
clares Fl. e. Miles, chairman of the
committee on industrial education of
the National Association of Manufac-
turers, in a report of which an alb
stract was given out here to-day.
Mr.. Miles has made a special study
of conditions in the schools of the
State and has been looking up the in
dustries. In his statement in regard
to Pennsylvania he says in part:
pennsylvania is now entering upon
one of the greatest accomplishments
OF this generation. The law that every
child in the State must have the equiv
alent OF the first six years OF elemen-
taIy scnoonng before going to work is
a fine piece of legislation If he is
fourteen years of age and otherwise
qualified. he may go to work under
fair safeguards, but only upon further
provision that he be released from en-
ployment eight hours a week for in
struction in his vocation and citizen
ship in continuation schools that are
now being established throughout the
country. This is the first instance of
compulsory school attendance until
sixteen except in Wisconsin and the
city of Boston. 1t is also the finest
form of compulsory education in this
country. because it correlates school
with work. and goes far toward MAX
ing all the later life of the child
better
The need of the schooling was
agreed upon by employers. social
workers, educators, labor leaders and
legislators. There were at first some
differences of judgment as to.the terms
of the law. These differences are fast
disappearing, partly through better
understanding of the situation and
largely because it has become clear TO
all that the law must be interpreted
and applied always solely with the
view of accomplishing its main spirit
and purpose.
ut is unfortunate that few en-
ployers, not knowing all the conditions,
began discharging children some time
ago. Let us hope with the present
| light no children will be discharged
unnecessarily a single day before they
need be, for such q discharge would
necessarily hurt the child and the
cause. The law affects about 10000
children and will elevate in years ~
come the citizenship, the social and
economic efficiency of the whole State.
| The Cox child labor act in its essential
spirit and purpose and its assured ac-
complishment, is one of the greatest
and best educational measures that
has been enacted in this country"

Cooperative Advertising

Cooperative advertising is one OF
the things which has already been de-
cided upon, and a campaign to bring
this about and make it a success for
the merchant as we'll as the general
public.
To Push Improvements
However, the merchants have de-
cfded to give much time also to the
affairs of the community, as we'll as
to business interests. Improvements
in street lighting, street railway SER
vice, traffic at the markethouses, and
other important features will be dealt
with efficiently by the members, 1t is
said
The present plans are already well
under way, and big surprises are
promised to the people residing in the
upper end of the city.
Many of the problems now worrying
the public there. will be solved by the
association is the belief of the mem
bers. Meetings will be held weekly,
as has been the custom for the last
few weeks.
"The peoples interests first, then
ours" is the spirit prevailing among
the businessmen. who are already ac-
lively engaged in working out ways of
accomplishing improvements to prove
their attitude and convince their
neighbors that the association will be
a permanent one and will be helpful
to the community.

The Boy Mechanic, Vol. IT, publish
ed by Popular Mechanics
Half of the fun of being a small boy
lies in making things. You remember
yourself how you used TO struggle over
that wobbly bookcase that you made
with your own hands, marvel OF
workmanship, TO your mind, when
finished; or that four-legged table that
insisted on avalanching its contents
without any apparent provocation.
Do you want q good Christmas gift
for the growing boy who Is of an in
ventive or mechanical bent? This
book contains a thousand things for
the boy to make, including the method
of constructing devices for winter
sports, motion picture cameras, in
door games, electrical novelties, boats,
pushmobiles, roller coasters, ferris
wheels and what not, all profusely
illustrated with nearly thousand
drawings. 1t will test the boys in
genuity and give him material for
months of good hard, interesting
work
The book is not of one person, but
Iof many. and every appliance described
has been tested to be sure that it is
practical. 1t contains much of the in
formation that a boy scout acquires,
which is a recommendation in itself,
and then too, it is compiled along the
same lines as the Popular Mechanics
Magazine, which few will deny is the
last word in the matter of modern,
up-to-date inventions and devices.

Young G. 0. P.'S
Try TO Annihilate
Wy. H. PaulhaTrluS

In a meeting surcharged with
stand-pattism, the Young Mems
Republican club last night made
it clear that men of progressive
ideas will not be welcomed in
party work, and endorsed the
gubernatorial candidacy of James
McNeely, millionaire lumberman.
The latter was intended as
slap-direct at Senator w. II. Paul
hamus of Puyallup, whose ideas
and legislative record were too
progressive for last nights meet
ing.
He was described by one speak
er asa man unfit to run for party
honors because two or three years
ago The had his knife in the very
bowels of the republican party"
Newspaper Scheme?
There also was a good deal of
statewide significance in the en-
dorsement. 1t means that GER
tain newspaper strength in this
county feels unable, OF it's own
strength, to oppose the popular
and energetic Paulhamus, al
though 1t dislikes his principles.
But now the fact that the
Young Mems Republican club has
endorsed McNeely gives this in
fluence a perfectly plausible ex-
PLANTATION for the program it had
determined on in advance.
In fact, there was every indi-
cation last night that the endorse
ment of McNeely had been hatch
ed in advance by this interest.
Pay No Heed to Warning.
J.P. Nevins, of Puyallup, warn
ed the meeting that this endorse
ment of one candidate IL months
prior to the primaries, would
have only bad results for the par
ty, but he was overruled.
He held that the true func-
tion of the club was to support
republicanism in general before
the primaries, aiding any candi-
date who asked aid, and to get |
solidly behind the victor in the
primaries.
