Checks on Child Labor.
The studies instituted by the Metro

especially directed to the matter of
measurements of boys and girls
granted employment certificates. Drs.
Frankel and Dublin thus state the in
spiration for their researches: "The
New York State labor law provides
that no child between the ages Of II
and 16 shall be employed in a fac
tory or in a mercantile or other speci-
fed establishment unless he or she is
in possession of an employment certi-
f1cate. AS a condition for granting this
certificate the law requires that the
child shall have completed the work
prescribed for the first six years of
the elementary schools and that in the
opinion of the issuing officer the child
shall have reached the normal develop
ment for his age.
He must be in sound health, as de-
tcrmined by a thorough medical exam
nation. and must be physically able
to perform the work he intends to do.
AS the law in no way controls the
nature Of the work which the child
may be called upon to do, except by
prohibiting his employment In danger
GUS trades. it can be readily seen that
the only construction OF this law which
will adequately protect the child is to
determine his physical fitness for any
work in which he may lawfully en-
gage. This investigation has concerned
itself in part with the determination
OF certain norms OF physical develop
ment which may serve as guide to
those upon whom devolves the duty
OF issuing employment certificates"
Without going into the niceties OF
the findings OF these experts 1t will
suffice for the present to say that they
established certain important facts re-
garding the normal heights and
weights OF New York city children of
| different ages Of both native parentage

tellectual activity, but they are more
important as creative forces in the de-
velopment OF the normal function Of
the intellect and the will"
Confirmation OF this has been fur
nished by the researches of Drs. Lee
K. Frankel and Louis !. Dublin of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company,
who critically examined the heights
and weights records OF thousands OF
the children of New York city. Ac-
cording to these experts: students OF
the growth OF school children have
found that there is a very high posi-
tive correlation between physical and
intellectual development Attention
was directed to this fact especially by
Porter in his study OF St Louis chill
dren. Confirmation was later given by
Smedley for Chicago children. and by
Boas for Worcester children. These
authors have pointed out that In the
advanced grades pupils are heavier
and taller than the pupils OF the same
age in the lower grades. Conversely,
children who are retarded in grade are

he had no authority over his own men,
who would listen to no restrictions

Spartacus himself had no Illusions as
to how matters would end finally, al
though he was already dictator over a

sires. Now for the details of the
camera arrangement, &C. His instru-
ment has a lens of n definite focal
length, and the optical axis Is parallel
with the floor and at prescribed
height from the floor. At carefully
measured distance In front of the
camera is placed a low stool upon
which the person to be photographed

the subject invariably poses in the

there must be provided some scale

SO marked must fall within the same

SO that alterations incident to bodily
changes may be readily discovered.
In short. the thing desired is sort Of
