ENDORSES CHILD LABOR DAY

Secretary Newton d. Baker has
written to the National Child Labor
Committee in response to its plan for
a Child Labor Day for synagogues.
churches and schools throughout the
country on January 26, q and 2S,
1918:
THE ravages of 'hostilities bear
heavily indeed on the present gener-
alton, but we must not permit the eff
fects to be visited on the children Of
the nation. The tribulations borne
by the present should make us con-
serve to as great a degree as possible
the health and energies of the coming
generation. Let me add my endorse
ment of the centering of our attention
on Child Labor Day"
The plan of the Child Labor Com
mittees to make Child Labor Day a
reminder to the American people of
their duty to their children in war
Special efforts will be made to en-
courage. the keeping up of school at
tendance during the war and the pro-
motion of industrial education as we'll
as the enforcement of child labor
laws. The Committee is sending out
pamphlets dealing with the war prob
lens affecting the American children
to school superintendent and clergy
men throughout the country, and has
marked lists of these pamphlets to
public Libraries so that everyone in
terested may have the opportunity Of
ordering these publications.
U. S. Commissioner of Education
Claxton has expressed his interest in
Child Labor Day and has urged the
school superintendents everywhere
to observe it.
1T is impossible to Overemphasize
the Importance Of preserving during
the stress of war all the interests Of
the children and Of permitting no lack
OF effort to prepare the children for
the greater responsibilities and more
difficult and important duties that will
come to them as men and women be-
cause Of our entrance into the war"
says Commissioner Claxton.
One Of the most interesting Of the
National Child Labor Committees
pamphlets for use on Child Labor
Day deals with the problem Of using
children in food production during
rhee var, summarizes the results Of
the use Of them In 1917 in various
parts OF the country and offers sug-
gestions for the coming summer.
