Mrs. Mabel e. Mayhem ere the dele
gates who attended the convention.
In her report Mrs. Mayhem quoted n
woman, speaking along educational
lines, as follows: 1.-THE issue Is how
best to fit children for life. Half leave
school at fourteen, not because of the
economic pressure, but because they
don't like school. To start in life at IA
they should have good health, good
elementary training, skill with the
hands and power to think for them
selves. Statistics show that 20, 900 pu-
pills in New York City left the elemen-
tary schools, and out of 406 positions
only five were educational, this being
the only type of employment open to
children under Ia. We must fight
against specialized industrial training
in the school and give the child what
it actually needs"
