of labor. This can only be
rdone by practical application.
The child must be taught to
labor-and taught while yet
child. The youngster that is
shielded from all labor during
the years of childhood and ado.
lescence is as much sinned
against MS the one who is un.
duly burdened with toil-if not
more so.
1t becomes our duty, then. in
dealing with this question,to so
shape laws on this subject that
every child shall be taught to
labor-practically and efficient
y,but that none may be unduly
burdened. Not only is il neces-
sary from an economic stand
point that our youth be trained
to work, but it is just as neces-
sary from purely personal and
physical point of view There
is no physical development can
compare with that obtained
from judicious, properly balan-
ccd labor throughout childhood
and youth. 1t has never yet
failed, given the right ground
work to begin on, to produce
the most perfect physical de-
vulopment.
Nine out of every zen of our
great men have been working
boys, Also nine out of every
ten of our convicts have been
idle boys. The truth is signiii
cant, and our Legislators will do
well TO keep it we'll in mind.
