develop physically anu mentally.
In New York City alone 5000
boys and girls enter industry each
year. Health hazards arise almost
Immediately. Up TO this point Of
their development, the State and
society have expended much money
upon their education and health.
Now, perhaps, all hat has been
done may be sacrificed because es-
sential care and protection will not
be adequate TO safeguard their
health.
Under New York State laws,
gainful employment for children
under u years Of age - forbid
den. Those between IA and IL
years must show q certificate Of
physical fitness in entering in
dustry, together with one show
ing a satisfactory school attend
ance. In that State, too. when a
child goes 10 work he must attend
continuation school, and there,
once again, lie comes under the
watchful care Of the Health De-
partment-
In many another State such
laws have not been made for chill
dren entering industry. In some
States children are still made 10
work IN the factory ten or eleven
hours a dav. In some of the rural
districts children are employed on
the farm, in work after school
hours which takes them until ten
and eleven o'clock at night TO fin
ish. In canneries, tenement house
work and street trades children
are made TO work long hours.
In this machine age men and
children are often brutslly used
up by the machine. "Thc rich sap
Of human life il being drained %
oil the wheels Of industry" we
hear from one who knows.
Children in industry are more
prone to accidents than their
elders An injured child sustains
a greater loss than the adult, a.
he must carry his disability
through life
In 1928 there were SS4 chill
dren under sixteen years OF are
who were given industrial cora
%pensation by the State or New
York. The State, too, has 4 com
~penSation law BY which a child
illegally employed, when the fact
Is determined. receives double
compensation from the State.
Not 50 the legally employed chill
dren- The child who Is injured
should receive a larger compensa-
ton, commensurate with his dis
ability through life.
The actual results upon child
health in industry may never be
known. The high death rate from
tuberculosis among children 10 to
20 years Of age, the thousands of
cases OF malnutrition, Of incipient
disease, Of infection in early years
which have serious consequences
In later lie, Of accidents-all these
take their toll among children of
our SO enlightened country today.
Evey effort should be made
for adequate laws in all States and
Federal laws. as well, to maintain
child health and abolish child
labor. To give every child his
birthright of health and happiness
ID not too much TO ask Of our
affluent nation. IL must be done
for the good Of the child and Of
the country.
