SAFEGUARDING AMERICAN CHILDHOOD
BY c. L. watkins, of New Martinsvlne.

has been asked to send five delegates.
Health, education, industry and fac
tory inspection will be discussed and
we may rest assured that much good
may result from the conference.
A bill known as the Keating-Owen
child labor bill has just been referred
by Speaker Clark to the house COM
mittee on labor. The bill is a very
good n and is of such interest to
our American childhood, that it is
hoped that it may receive the hearty
support Of the members Of both
houses.
1t is well known that If we destroy
or blight Il childhood that we also
destroy and blight our man and wom-
~anhood-the child Of today is the
adult Of tomorrow. on the shoulders
Of whom rest the responsibility of
good citizenship and government.
Thousands of children are employed
at low wages in the coal mines, glass
factories and cotton mills OF our coun-

The American citizen claims to pos

A nations greatest blessing is to
be found in its childhood whose pro-

citizenship.

The proper safeguarding of oul
American childhood is of paramount
Importance, especially that part Of
childhood whom through necessity
have been obliged to toll in the
factories Of our country, due to the
failure Of a number of our states to
pass a mothers compensation law and
other badly needed legislation.
Two million children in this coun.
try are at work while other children
play or go to school.
Two million children sacrificed tc
greed!
These child victims are working for
us.
They are working for me.
They are working for you.
The Child's Comment.

A bird of low degree;

But the dear Lord cares for me.

A Child In Slavery.
Poor little Joe is 10Y sixteen,
Yes employed in a glass factory,
For six years no pleasure has seen,
What a curse this child labor be.
Yes, his shoulders are bent,
Face so colorless and white,
His young life nearly spent,
Oh, mothers, a shocking sight.
IFS life work is nearly done,
Yet he labors for you and me,
And is some poor mothers son,
A child in Industrial slavery.
II little Joe were your boy,
Would this continue to be,
Or would he leap for joy
By giving him his liberty?
If you had a boy at work in a coal
mine or glass factory, or a girl at work
in a cotton mill, / nm sure you would
be grateful to those who are trying
to save them.
