Norway Will
Protect Children

Christiana, Aug. 5.-Norway
has decided on the square deal
for children.
Laws recently enacted give
complete national recognition
to the child born out Of wedlock.
In doing so, Norway takes the
lead among modern nations.
The legislation establishes the
responsibility of the state in pro-
viding for the nurture, protec-
tion and education Of these un-
fortunate children.
The state henceforth will hold
both parents "equally and con-
tinuously responsible;" the child
to be entitled to bringing up, main
tainance, training and education
from both father and mother.
The new attitude thus establish
ed is that the child welfare prob
lem must be solved for the sake of
the child and the state.
