fripperies Of the modern organ builder
in other pieces was of no moment, and
he merited praise for confluence and
a fine sense Of euphony in his registra-

admirable taste distinguished his work

CHILD UNDER Is
MUST WIN SCHOOL
DIPLOMA TO WORK
Wellington Law Acts TO Check
Exodus of Youngsters from
Glasses 10 jobs

Boys and girls who are bright enough
to be graduated from public school at
fourteen years needn't read this story,
which is about the Wellington law that
became effective yesterday.
Previous TO February 1, boy who
was in a hurry to become President or
a motion picture actor could leave
school and begin has career as soon as
he was fourteen. But now. he must
show his public school graduation
diploma when he applies for work az
that age. Otherwise he must remain
at school until ne is fifteen. Girls must
10 likewise.
The number OF children beginning
work at fourteen has increased so rap
idly within the year that an accurate
estimate is not possible, but IL IS be-
loved that the Wellington law viii
keep between $4,000 and 10000 more
BOYS and girls in school in New York
City. A certain proportion viii, Of
course. be eligible for work within less
than a year. Others will receive at
least a year Of additional school train
ing before they can go out into the
world as wage earners.
George A. Hall, secretary OF the New
York child labor committee, which was
Instrumental in obtaining the passage
Of the measure, said yesterday thai the
committee is already looking ahead TO
the time when a slNreeu-year age mini
mum will be IN operation. He also ex-
planned what he considers the superior
merits of the Wellington law.
The number of children between
fourteen and sixteen in shops and fac
tories has increased rapidly within a
year, particularly m the smaller cities
Of the state. In Binghamton the gain
vas 81 per cent over the previous year;
in Schenectady 80 per cent, and in
Troy 81 per cent.
Permits were granted 37.13l children
between fourteen and sixteen in New
York City during 1915. In 1915 the
number was 47O33. Syracuse, Albany
and Rochester also show large IN
Creases.
The Wellington law will be a power
ful check upon this tendency, child
labor workers declare.
