One of the most important recon-
mendations to be made by the special
survey committee relative to the IN
dustrial and educational conditions IN
Richmond. is the report regarding the
juvenile employment.
The committee, at the meeting last
evening, approved the recommends
lions of Prof. r. J. Leonard that the
school laws relative to compulsory
education be modified, extending the
period of compulsory education for
youths from the present fourteen
year limit to sixteen years, regardless
of the grade which the child has COM
pleted or in which he is enrolled.
Recommends Permits.
The expert also recommends that
the working permits be issued only to
those under sixteen years old who are
forced to go to work on account OF
economic conditions OF their families.
The child labor law should be modi-
fled, according to the report, so that
the working permits are required for
all types of employment for all youths
under sixteen years of age, including
those engaged in any farm work or
any form Of domestic or personal
service.
Another important recommendation
relative to the juvenile employment is
the establishment of part time classes.
Part time classes should be organized
in all cities over 1000, according to
the report and attendance of all boys
and girls under Is years of age, who
have left school and entered any type
of profitable employment, be required
for at least five hourse each week
during the regular school year.
The part time education should be
established in keeping with the needs
and interests of youthful workers, re,

cation is Complementary to the daily

who left school under special permits

PRICES OF CLOTHES
WILL SOAR HIGHER
As RESULT OF WAR
H. C. L. again.

H. C. L. again.
Better lay away that winter suit
carefully because next winter-well,
you know what Sherman said about
War-and drugs and dyes, aren't the
only things to price-boost because of
the big row across the water.
To be more concise-your next win
ter suit will cost you just IS per cent
more than 1t did last fall. For instance
last fall you paid $50 for your winter
joysome raiment. Well, this fall you
will pay SIS.
Simple. of course. but cruel, never
theless, you say.
The reason, too, is simple.
Soldiers fighting in the trenches
want more than cotton clothes to keep
them warm. They want woolens. And
a providing government furnishes the
same. Demand makes price and there
you are.
Better save that old winter suit.
