Employment Not Extensive.

1t Is true that the industriai en-
ployment OF children in the District
is not very extensive. On the other
hand a large number are employed In
messenger work Of all kinds and this
work has in the past undoubtedly been
allowed to interfere with the proper
amount OF education as measured by
the best American standards. This
bill will bring the District into line
with the leading States Of the counA
try as 1t will keep children in school
until their sixteenth birthday unless
they have secured their work permits
and are legally employed.
1t Is q cause Of great satisfaction
that employers are more and more
standing for the continued education
of boys and girls. In fact local en-
ployers have stated that they prefer
10 employ children who are over six
teen years OF age and have had the
benefit OF adequate schooling as such
children prove far more valuable en-
pioyes.
From the point Of view Of the
child, It has been found by inquiry
in the Industrial centers Of the coun-
try that child labor Is without edu-
cational value. In fact, children

CONGRESS GETS2
CH|LDLABOR BILLS
Measures Introduced Provide
Compulsory Education In
District.

A new child labor and compulsory
education bill, dealing solely with the
District OF Columbia. was introduced
in both houses or Congress today at
the request OF the Consumers League
and the United states Children's
Bureau.
Through the bill introduced in the
Senate by Senator Curtis OF Kansas
and In the House by Congressman
Gard of ohio, Congress again VIII
have an opportunity 10 go on record
In favor OF child labor legislation.
The bill was drafted Jointly by
committee from the ehildrens' year
committee OF the District, the Ma
tionaI and District Consumers League,
and the United States Childrens' Blu
reau, and there Is indication that this
measure will be welcomed by all the
important organizations In the Dis
trict, as II will remedy some serious
defects in the present statutes.
1t will re-enforce the schooling laws
of the District which In the past have
been less effective than those In many
cities OF the same size and brings
compulsory education up to sixteen
years. II puts a premium on sduca7
4 ton because Il allows a child over
ffteen years OF age to go TO work IL
he has completed the eighth grade.
otherwise he must remain In schooi
until he Is sixteen years old.
| This is not a drastic requirement
as a normal child should reach the
eighth grade by his fourteenth birth
day and many children have advanced
| to this grade even earlier.
