RECOMMENDATION.
Minimum recommendations nre n-
follows: ,,,,. -,
Tirst, that the law termed ''The Mas-
,eys Apprentices and Employe. Law, see
Revised Code Of Delaware, pages 1917,
3Iol-3122 INCLUSIVE, be revoked at the
Legislature of 1921.
Second, that oil further placing N
children in the State by outside agencies
be- discontinued until after the present
law. regulating the importation of de,
pendent children shall have been revised
and .bsIl have become active.
Third, that bill authorizing state
board Of children's gusraians, 70 act ~
connection with the State Board ot
Charities. be offered Of the next Legisla-
ture. this bill 20 include also revised Ia"
regulating the importation Of dependent
children. -, -.
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1920-12-15

First. AS 10 school attendance A report
on the attendance of dependent children
In the State for 1917-1S, issued bv the
State commissioner of education. showed
that there were in New Castle county three
pupils. IN Kent county. IS and in Sussex
county. 10. making total Of Is BOYS and
sirls who were sent 10 school less than one
month This report showed that 81 chill
dren IN the three counties attended school
less than two months, while So attended
school less than three months t e wear
These figures are pitifully plain AID speak
for themselves.
Second as 20 importation of the feeble
minded an analysis OF the data obtained
IN the survey Of schools shows that Of the
81 feeble minded white children noted.
ten, or "a 3 per cent had been brought into
the State and placed in family homes.
Third. as 70 child labor: Child labor is
prevalent IN Sussex county, the greatest
amount Of employment of children being
on farms. lfrom Mental Defect III a
Rural County,.
And 50 the study was started with three
distinct and striking conditions to be look
cd for. Poor school attendance. prevalence
of mental detectives and the exploiting Of
these dependent children as farm hands
at the sacrifice of their education.

operating IN the State of Delaware only

investigation before receiving the child

occupation except ms hereinafter provided. J.
Provided, however, that this a shall
not apply to children employed on the
farm or in domestic service In private
houses
This IL the usual discrimination made
In tho forcing Of child labor laws and we
wonder why, Farm labor, for obvious
reasons, can be the most cruel The very
remotencss Of the farm gives rare oppor-
tuoity for bad conditions 10 exist unob-
served. The work on the farm is from
dawn 10 dusk. Tho heat is excessive, the
insects irritating, the food often wretched
and sleeping quarters bad. The child must
rise at 40 or five, milk the cows, feed the
stock, snatch hasty breakfast and he in
the fields at seven, where he works until
ak with mn hour md half internission
for di1ner
When he comes in from the fields AZ six
he mnst bring in the cows and milk them,
feed the stock ard eat his supper and then
TO bed. As one little boy Of I3, who gave
this routine for the day ssid, Then /
would like 10 read, but | arm too tired and
have 10 go to bed" This is the usual day
for the children from early in March until
perhaps November or December /. A
silent hut eloquent witness To the long
hours of hard labor which the children
have undergone is the enormous hands dis
torted by hard work which are out Of all
proportion To their size
There are several different methods in
use by the various agencies for the paying
of wages 10 the boys after they reach l8.
One Of the agencies especially is very
prompt about this and arrenges that he
shall, at the age Of lS, go on wages ranging
