Exodus Of Children
From School 10 Work
Worries SocioIogisis
Miss Lenroot Feors
For Monpower Reserves
Intended for Future

ry the Associated Press.
Sociologists, noting that hundreds
of thousands of 'teen-age boys and
girls are going into war jobs, ex-
pressed apprehension yesterday lest
the Nation cut too deeply now into
the undeveloped manpower reserves
intended for tomorrow.
Katharine F. Lenroot, chief of the
Labor Department Children's Bu-
reau, said twice as many boys and
girls between IA and i8 years old
went to work in l941 as in 1910, and
the numbers have been mounting
in 1912.
we are all keenly conscious" she
said. that whatever is necessary to
do to win the war must be done, but
before permitting an exodus Of chill
dren from school for work we must
be certain that what is gained in
labor from productive industry now
Is not lost in needed equipment Of
future manpower."
Trend Ii Widespread.
Bureau records showed that In
June OF this year approximately loo,-
900 boys and girls between II and
Is received employment certificates
for work. About $4,000 were II or
Is years of age. July and August
have swelled these figures by thou
sands more. The figures show the
trend was widespread. both geo
graphically and occupationally, the
bureau said.
In the calendar year 1o4l well
over $4,000 children of IA or Is took
their first jobs, more than 5000
of them leaving school to 90 to
work In the same year about 49,
900 is and II year old boys and
girls obtained certificates for work.
Miss Lenroot said many Of these
left school in the middle Of their
courses and that many others An
ished a school term but failed to
60 on to further training.
These figures, she added, "are far
from the whole picture OF child
labor and youth employment, for it
does not include children In occu-
| pations for which certificates are
not required, nor does 1t include
children working illegally" the
number Of which Is increasing.
! State Laws Vary.
Under the wage-hour law, the
Children's Bureau may permit chill
dren OF IA and Is to work In inter-
state commerce, except in manufac-
turing and mining, when it does not
interfere with school and where spe-
Gifted safeguards are provided.
State laws covering intrastate COM
merce vary.
Miss Lenroot said one of the most
acute shortages in the war indus
tries today was for men with sum-
cient background knowledge to be
good supervisors.
| without continuing supply Of
| young persons mentally and physi-
cally fit, trained not only in pro-
| ductive skills but in technical nowl-
edge. self control and adaptability,
we can win neither the war nor the
peace" she. said. Young people
themselves should realize that If
they are to fulfill their own highest
destinies for the Nation they must
develop their latent abilities and
that 1t Is rnpatriotic to give less
than ones best"
