ognized as authoritnes on children's
welfare and other similar sociological
problems, there are some which have
been drawn up by other persons who
are interested in relieving the dis
tress Of worthy INDECENT persons.
Among the measures pending, or
which have already passed the house

dren born out of wedlock, and provid-
ing for the punishment OF mothers
who abandon children, and for adults
who allow their children to work in
violation Of the labor laws.
An act making 1t misdemeanor
FOR father to fail to support child
under 16 years when able to do so.
An act to determine the parentage

An act establishing an illiteracy
