FEW TEACHERS AND
NUMEROUS STUDENTS
Rules for Distribution of Pupils
Are Issued.

The shortage OF teachers and over
crowding at Central High School has
caused Superintendent Ernest L.
Thurston to reiterate a set of rules
for the distribution of pupils who
contemplate entering the high school
the opening day. The rules follow:
l. All students promoted from the
eighth grade to the high schools to
take academic work who live nearer
the Western or Eastern high schools
than to Central shall be assigned t.
one of the former schools.
2. Students entering the high
schools through the high school ad-
mission board shall be assigned by
that board to schools other than Cen
trail High School except in cases ap-
proved by the superintendent where
material hardship would result from
such assignment
3. In case of necessity transfers
from Central to Western may he made
OF students entering Central who can
conveniently reach Western even if
geographically within Central terri
tory.

Aeroplanes to Patrol Forests.

The forest service is talking al
ready of using aeroplanes to patrol
forests and give timely warning of
fires. This is but one of the services
to which the plane will be put fol-
lowing peace. That big American
army of aviation will not be content
to remain on terra ffrma after its
vivid experiences in the air under
the most trying conditions. 1t will
create demand for air service; and
the wonderful improvements
brought about through the ex-
igencies of war wifi be turned to

Their School Age
Stops at Twelve

One of the most serious effects of
the long hours for children, and second
only to the harm done to their physical
development, is the loss Of education.
So long as they are in the mill, they
cannot be in school. The average cot
ton mill child stops school at the age
Of twelve, and many of them earlier.
To be sure the mills build schoolhouses
and provide night schools. But can
you imagine a boy of twelve going to
night school after having been in q
cotton mill eleven hours during the
day? Can you imagine how much he
would learn if he did go to school after
eleven hours of work? The illiteracy
tables for the different states tell the
story. Seven Southern states contain
over 80 per cent of the native born
white illiterates in this entire country
Louisiana. which has the highest rate
Of illiteracy of all the states, has 1913
per cent Of her children between ten
and thirteen at work. South Carolina
which allows 451 per centsof her chill
dren in the same age group to work,
shows an illiteracy percentage of 25.7.
The parallel between child labor and
illiteracy carries too clear moral to
need any pointing.

Grewsome History
OF Children in Mines

Mining, 1t is we'll known. heads the
accident rate list among industries. In
1917 there were 1895 fatalities in the
coal mines of the United States; the
causes included slate falls, live wires
gas, blasting, car accidents, etc. If
ever there was an occupation which
young boys should be forbidden to
enter, it would seem to be coal min
ing Under the Federal law they
would have been kept out Of the mines
until they were sixteen. Yet eight Of
the largest mining states still permit
the employment Of children fourteen
years of age in the coal mines. Prac-
tically every state has it's own grew
some history Of accidents, to which the
boys employed are equally If not more
liable than growing men.
In the terrible Cherry mine disaster
in Illinois among the first of the dead
bodies brought to the surface after
the explosion we're those of boys undes
sixteen years of age, and from the evil
dence it seemed more than probable
that 800 lives were lost because of
the carelessness of one boy 1t has
long been established that in all
dangerous occupations children are

Night Work in
Glass Factories

Another example of the kind of work
the Federal Child Labor Law was de-
signed to prevent is night work in
glass factories. Night work accompa-
MED by heat and physical strain is a
severe tax on young boys, and many Of
them show their reaction to it by
dropping out during the summer
months.
During the time the Federal law was
in effect all BOYS under sixteen were
kept off the night shift, but now that
its provisions no longer hold good
this feature of the trade will prove a
distinct menace in the states which
have no prohibition of night work for
children.
West Virginia is one of the largest
glass manufacturing states. and also
lacks any regulation of hours. The re-
suit Of this work is shown in the
mortality figures for the industry,
which report that the average age for
death among the glass bottle blowers
is extraordinarily early-between forty
one and forty-two years. 1t is a sig
nifcant fact that tuberculosis and
pneumonia cause the death Of a ma
jority of the workers, young and old.
The United States report on child
labor in the glass industry pointed to
the fact that "the physical severity of
this (the boy's) work is one of the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-06-16

there is evidence that the law is not
enforced too strictly. Children of ff-
teen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve and
eleven years of age have been found
working on the night shift in the cot
ton mills Of this state.
One mother, telling the investigator
about her sixteen year-old boy who had
done night work for three years, said ::
"Johnnie, he's been a-tryin' to git off
that job for goin' on a year, but seems
like they can't give him nothin' else to
do. He lows that night work has jes'
about ruint him, and sometimes he can't
hardly see ncthin'"
The same Investigator tells the story
of the experience that a new night
manager had in coming into q mill
which employed number aof children
on the night shift He disliked the work
from the beginning, saying that when
he thought of his own children he could
hardly bear to look ut these. Soon after
his arrival he received instructions to
push the children up" He refused
point blank, on the ground that twelve
hours night work for children is hid
eous, anyhow" Shortly after that the
young man was discharged.

Child Slavery
In Cotton Mills

Picture for yourself the life Of the
average cotton mill child of twelve or
thirteen, working on an eleven-hou
schedule. He begins work at in the
morning and stops at at night, having
had one hour at noon. He may not be
working every moment of the eleven
hours-few children could-but he Is
in the mill all that time, except in a
few cases. For part of the year he be-
gins work in the dark and stops in the
dark. He begins work three hours be-
fore the tired business man gets to his
Office, and he ends work one hour later
Some children-even some of the
very young ones-start their work just
when that business man finishes his.
In Georgia night work Is legal for chill
dren fourteen and one-half years old:
in Mississippi boys as young as four
teen are allowed by law to work in the
cotton mills at night; and in North
Carolina, although the law prohibits
night work for children under sixteen,

most important aspects Of the cues
ton of the employment of children In
the glass factory The severity Of
shop boys work is a compound Of many
factors-the physical strain Of the
work itself, the heat of the room IN
which they work, possible dust and
fumes"
an many Of the older furnaces, the
mould boy must either squat upon the
ground in an awkward. cramped posi-.
ton or, standing. must stoop con-
stantly to his work. In all establish.
ments the heat is particularly con-
spicuous factor in his work He must
necessarily be close to the mould, and.
for speed of working, the mould placed
near the furnace"
While the mould boy suffers from his
cramped position. the "snapping.up
boy" is forced to endure terrific heat
and the hardship of looking into the
bright, glaring light of the glory hole.
Besides this. he has constant arm move
ment. some bending and must con-
stantly be in motion. The heat in the
/ establishments varies from So to 100
degrees, and Immediately in front Of
the glory hole it runs as high as 40
degrees.

Meanwhile Children
Go Back to the Mills

But while that way is being found
and until all the business Of passing
new law has been gone through, the
children who were taken out Of indus
try last September by the national law
may return to their former occupations.
Those children are all under sixteen
years of age and In the most critical
period of their lives. Unless they hap
pen to live in one of the states which
prohibit young children from going into
mines and factories and mills and can
neries, they will be allowed to leave
school, where many of them were for
the first time getting real education;
they will be taken out Of the fresh air,
where many of them we're for the first
time playing without thought of the
factory whistle, and in few days or
weeks or months from now a great ma
jority of them will be back in the
mines, or in the close, dusty air of the
cotton mills, or in the blasting heat of
the glass factories
Unless. that is, the grown people of
America who know what child labor
means and care about the future of
America do something to prevent it,
and do it now.
Taking the canning industry for ex-
ample, the season for which is Just now

passed 1t was one of the industries en-
