THE MEANING or
NEW YEARS DAY

Coldiy philosophical people can
see no sense in celebrating the New
Year. January Is Just the same as
December 81, they argue, Nothing
happened when this artificial and
meaningless division Of time passed,
so why quit work and celebrate.
Just as il humanity had achieved
some noteworthy achievement
This thought overlooks the siEni-
ficanee OF the passing Of time
Our years slip by with the rapsdity
OF q swiftly passing stream The
days melt into each other like the
esidies in the smooth flowing river
Time drops out OF sight without At
traeting attention. 50 that life pass
es beyound our grasp before we
know it.
Men and women 60 on from youth
to middle life and old age. scarcely
realizing the changes. It Is Z use
full thing to have a New Years day
come along, to remind them of the
rapidity OF the passing Of time. 1t
should be day OF retrospectiOn
and anticipation
Peopl should ask themselves
what they accomplished in the pre-
vious IL months What did they do
to improve their own equipment
for life. to rise to better attainment
to achieve things for their eommun
ity and their country? II New
Years day can not bring some
sense of positive gain In the past
year. there is something radically
wrong about persons life.
And so the old idea Of turning
over new leaf and making new
resolutions is a good one. much as
it has been derided. No person Is
worth much, unless he does from
time to time resolve to make b
fresh start. to accomplish more In
the future than in the past. Not
necessarily to make more money
and acquire more material success
but to develop finer personality
and to be Of greater service. New
Years day brings human life to .
realization that life is moving swift
ly and we must all seize its 0ppor-
tunities as they pass.

COMMITTEE REPORT
ON HEAL I'll PROTECTION
FOR YOUNG WORKERS

Maryland is one of the is States
that has a law requiring children 10
be examined before being allowed TO
go TO work. Such a law is a neees-
sity. as children who go to work be-
tween Il and Is years OF age need
special protection if they are to reach
manhood and womanhood with good
health and well-developed bodies
The United States Department of
Labor. through the Children's Bureau,
has just issued a report called ply
steal Standards for Working Chill
dren.. in which a committee of II
physicians appointed by the Chill
dren's Bureau explain how the health
of children at work may be protected.
But even with statutes enacted 10
protect them, unless examining ply
sicians have definite standards by
which to test development and sound
health. underdeveloped and physic-
ally defective children arc likely to
go to work early to their own serious
disadvantage. in spite of t he law,
The committee. therefore, has under
taken 10 define what constitutes nor
NAL development and sound health
for children applying for working
papers.
The report of the committee con-
tains minimum standards of height
and weight for specified ages, based
on the most trustworthy experience
and present-day practice. 1t also
lists defects for which children
should be refused certificates, re-
mediable defects for which they
should be refused certificates pending
correction. and conditions requiring
supervision under which provisional
certificates for periods of threa
months may be issued The points
which examining physicians should
cover if adequate protection is to be
given the working child are given in
detail in the report. which also con
tains a record blank for the use of
physicians in making these examina-
tons
Periodical examinations for chill
6ren after they have gone to work are
recommended by the committee as a
still further means of protection As
yet no State has taken this step,
though an exceptionally good oppor-
tunity for putting into effect an ade-
quate program of health supervision,
says the report, is furnished b. the
compulsory continuation school laws
now in force in % States.
