CHILD LABOR STANDARDS

CHILD LABOR STANDARDS
Child labor and school attendance
are among the subjects of. the general
inquiry by the Children's Code Com
mission in to the needs Of the chill
dren of North Dakota. In this in
quiry it has the cooperation Of the
Children's Bureau Of the U. s. De-
partment of Labor. In 1919 the Chill
dren's Bureau summoned from all
parts Of the country persons expert
enced in child-welfare work, to discuss
and set forth minimum standards in
their respective field. The standards
adopted were reference to children en-
tering employment, include an age
minimum, and educational minimum,
and q physical minimum, with recon-
mendations Of hours Of employment,
minimum wage, supervision of work.
ing children, and methods Of admins
tering child-labor and school attend
ance laws.
Children should not be employed in
any occupation, the Standards say,
before reaching the age Of sixteen,
except that those over fourteen may
be employed in agriculture and do.
mestic service during vacation peri
DDS. All children between the ages Of
seven and sixteen years should be re-
quired to attend school at least nine
months in the year, and also those
under eighteen who have not complet-
ed the eighth grade. Occupational
training especially adapted to their
needs should be provided for mentally
subnormal children who cannot profit
by ordinary school instruction. A
sufficient number sof attendance Of
ficers should be provided in cities,
towns and counties to enforce school
attendance laws under state super
vison.
No child should be allowed to 60 to
work until he has had a physical ex-
animation by q special medical officer,
and has been found to be Of normal
development for child Of his age
and physically fit for the work at
which he is to be employed. Such
examinations should be repeated once
a year for all employed children under
eighteen years Of age. Employment
Of any minors in hazardous or un-
healthful occupations, retarding eth
er physical or moral development, the
Standards declare, should be prohibit
ed. Minors should not be permitted
to work after 6 P. IN. or before
seven A. M, or for more than eight
hours day or forty-four hours a
week.
Provision should be made for is
suing employment certificate to all
children entering employment who are
under eighteen years Of age. These
certificates should be based on satis-
factory evidence Of age, schooling,
physical fitness and promise Of en-
ployment.
Those attending the conference
agreed on these points, but recognize
the need for more definite standards
Of normal development and "phys-
ical fitness" for the use Of physicians
in examining children applying FIR
en,r rlovrnent certificates, and voted to
Lave the Ch;ldren's Bureau appoint a
committee Of physicians to draft such
standards The rerort Of this nom=
mitteesis now available. It is the IN.
tention Of the committee to revise
from time to time its recommended
atio tions n the light Of further study and
experience.
