FARM WORK
NTERFERES WITH
SCHOOLING NKY.
Child Labor Investigators Re-
port on Rural School
Attendance

A detailed report of q study of
farm work and school attendance in
seven counties in Kentucky in 1916
has just been published by the Ma
tional Child Labor committee in the
quarterly Child Labor Bulletin. Rural
child labor has never received much
attention, according to this committee,
but recent studies in Colorado, Ken
lucky and other States show that there
is a close connection between chill
dren's work on the farms and tho
poor school attendance and high per-
centage of illiteracy in rural districts.
In the seven counties studied, the re-
port states, the greatest number of
absences from school in the four
months studied were due to farm
work. Furthermore, the children ab-
sent on farm work had q higher per-
cent. of retardation in school than
other children. Among white chill
dren only 1872 per cent. of the daily
attendants We're retarded, 22.S per
cent. of the children absent for other
reasons than farm work, and 46.S
per cent. of the farm work absentees.
Among negro children the per cent.
for daily attendants was 34.2, for 9TH
er absentees. 1872, and for farm work
abSenteeS, 1875 per cent. One reason
for this state of affairs is said to be
that farm work is steady whereas
illness (as a cause of absence) is occa-
sional; moreover, farm work occurs
year after year, while illness may oc-
cur only once"
The work the children do on Ken
lucky farms is chiefly in the tobacco
fields, the Investigators found, al
though other forms of farm work also
exist. Considerable space is given in
the report to a discussion of the eco
nomic condition of the tenant farmer,
because sit may be that under the
customary arrangements for sharing
products with the landowner, for bor-
rowing money and obtaining credit at
stores, the tenant farmer is unable to
keep his children in school throughout
the term on account of the demand of
his work. and his inability to hire
labor" A Kentucky school trustee is
quoted as saying, "Give us fair price
for our tobacco, and I will guarantee
that the farmers will send their chill
dren to school and illiteracy will be
wiped out"
The Child Labor Bulletin contains,
besides the Kentucky report an ac-
count of juvenile work in Washington,
d. c., and of recreational and educa-
tional opportunities provided the IA
to- 16-year-old workers in Massachu-
setts. Copies may be obtained from
