DR.. David Bancroft johnson is one
of the best known educators of South
Carolina. First and only president Of
Winthrop college, he has always stood
in the front rank Of the fight for edu-
cation in this State His reputation as
head of the Sout.'s greatest normal
and industrial college has spread
abroad and for years he has been a
prominent fgue in the councils OF
educational bodies throughout the
United States. Last year he was
prominently mentioned for president
of the National Education associa-
ton, of which this year he has been
elected head, but withdrew in favor
of DR.. David Starr Jordan.
DR.. Johnson was at one time super
intendent of the city schools Of Co
lumbia, and it was in this capacity
t. at he first came into contact with
the Winthrop training school, which
he was to develop into one of the
largest institutions of the South.

FoREsTALLING CHILD LABOR.
BY FELIX ADLER.

The question is sometimes asked:
''Why have National Child Labor
Committee? Why not have state COM
mittees and let these co-operate"'
One sufficient answer to this is that
the appearance Of child labor in those
states in which there is as yet little
or no manufacturing must be fore
stalled, and a national committee IS
needed to this end. Anti-child labor
laws must pre-empt the ground before
a greedy industrialism can stretch
forth it's hands to grasp the child.
The law Of periodicity, the law Of re-
currence, that has hitherto obtained
in the matter Of child labor must be
defeated. England began, Massachu-
setts, Pennsylvania, New York follow
ed suit. The same inconceivable out
RACES on human feelings repeat them
selves again and again. Whenever a
predominantly agricultural community
develops into an industrial stage the
horrors exposed by Lord Shaftesbury
tend to recur. Mankind does not read
lily learn by experience. The warning
lessons of the past are often writ in
water. Thus the industrial states OF
the north simply stepped into the foul
footsteps of early English capitalism.
and the south, as soon as it became in
dustrial, hastened to repeat the same
doleful story. The great states of the
Pacific and the west must thwart that
horrible law and make it impossible
that the same conditions should there
grow up. That is the one main object
Of a national committee.

NO CHILDREN IN THE MINES
California Eliminates Children Under
Sixteen From Mines and Quarries.

California Eliminates Children Under
Sixteen From Mines and Quarrles.
Among the new limits established by
the California child labor law Of 1915.
is a sixteen year limit for mines and
quarries. California has mining prod
ucts valued at more than $G3,O00,OOO,
according to the 1910 census, but she
has never before set an age limit for
the children who might be employed
in their production.
Now that a sixteen year limit has
been adopted no fourteen or fifteen
year old trapper boys will be found
among the victims Of an explosion, as
was the case in West Virginia last
year, nor will their thoughtlessness be
the cause Of disasters in which others
are killed, as it sometimes is where
boys under sixteen are permitted to
work in mines.
Mining has the highest fatal accident
rate of any industry, but quarTying is
not far behind. A signal boy was
crushed to death by falling stone in

SPECIAL FAVORS TO
TENNESSEE GAMERS
Amendment to Child Labor Law
Passed This Year.
NEED FOR A FEDERAL LAW.

An effort made in New York last
winter to grant canneries special ia
vors by permitting them to work their
operatives longer hours was strongly
condemned by the press throughout the
country, and the attempt failed. But
no attention was paid to Tennessee
when she did the same thing at about
the same time In fact, the National
Child Labor Committee regards the
Tennessee amendment as far more Sc
rious than the New York one would
have been since the change in the New
York law would not have affected any
children under sixteen, while the Ten
nessee amendment permits children un-
der fourteen to work in cannerles and
for unlimited hours per day.
cit is strange how many states fall to
realize that children are more valuable
than fruits and vegetables" said Owen
R. Lovejoy, general secretary of the
National Child Labor Committee, in
commenting on Te1EeSSee's action.
"The idea is so common that canning
goods is more important than protect
inc children that we find not only Ten
nessee, but Delaware, Maryland, In
diana, Maine and Virginia, making spe-
cial4 exemptions to their child labor
laws for the benefit Of canneries, while
Mississippi does not regulate them at
all. do not know why the idea should
prevail that employment in canneries
cannot possibly be harmful to children
when the conditions there are usually
worse than in factories.
eve feel that the only successful
way to meet the cannery situation is
through the federal law which will be
introduced in the next congress and
which, if passed, would prohibit the
shipment outside the state Of canned
goods which children under fourteen
had helped to manufacture or on which
they had worked more than eight hours
a day. A letter came to us the other
day from woman who wished to
know what variety of canned goods she
could buy and feel sure that no chill
dren had worked on it. We could not
tell her, but we did tell her that if she
would help US in passing federal law
she could buy any kind Of canned
goods with safety"

MESSENGER SERVICE
A "CRIME FACTORY
So Lewis w. Hline Tells Child Labor
Conference.

"Crime factory" is the term which
an investigator for the National Child
Labor Committee made use Of in de-
scribing the evils Of the messenger
service at the Eleventh Annual Con-
ference on Child Labor. This man,
Lewis W. Hine, believes that there is
not messenger boy Of any experience
who does not know more about the
underworld than the average citizen,
because one very common phase OF
messenger work is the serving Of pros
titutes by carrying messages, running
errands and procuring dope. Investi-
cations of the night messenger service

a Maine quarry last fall. The occupa-
ton of signal boy is not generally sup
posed to be dangerous, but it is evident
from this that any occupation in a
quarry is unsafe for young boys and
that a sixteen year limit is imperative.
A number Of mining states having
both mines and quarries have adopted
a sixteen year limit for mines only,
forgetting that the dangers from fall
ing stone and blasting make the pres
ence of young boys in quarries risk
to be avoided.
CALIFORNIA; action is regarded as
particularly significant by the National
Child Labor Committee in view of the
claw of recurrence" which DR., Felix
Adler spoke about at the Eleventh An
nual Conference on Child Labor. DR..
Adler said that the evils Of child labor
had followed industrial development
from England to New York and Mas
sachusetts, from there to the south
and from the south would go to the
west unless the west prevented it by
enacting child labor laws in advance.
Child labor in the mines will not re
cur' in California.

armies have cleared the whole of the

This means that the obstacle of the

Grave Misfortune.
Although military observers believe
the Russians probably again will bt

these lines is considered a graver mis-
fortune than the loss of warsaw.
The Germans success has been due
almost entirely to their immense SUI

The chances Of promotion in the

one boy as follows: Nothing to it un,

ward the boy who has worked as a
messenger was brought out last winter
by Miss Anne Davis Of Chicago at a
