Il
Education Law Is Planned
Governor Aliens children's code
commission proposes to make the
state compulsory education law more
stringent. This would be accom-
plished by raising the age minimum
for child labor from fourteen to If
teen years, by establishing part
time school for children between If
teen and eighteen years who are ex-
cused under the poverty" clause Of
the present law, and by providing
for special training Of sub normal
children.
Under the present law sixteen
years is indirectly set up as the stan
dard FIR compulsory education by re-
quiring that eight grades be complet-
ed before the child begins work.
In practice, however, the stan
dard has practically dropped to four
teen years, according to Miss Alice
Mcfarland, state factory inspector
and chairman Of the child labor COM
mittee Of the code commission. In
many cases, she says, children upon
becoming fourteen get excused be-
cause Of some alleged physical or
mental defect, obtain an employment
certificate and 60 to work.
