TEACHERS OPPOSE
TO CHANGING LAW
Permitting Children Under
Toto Work Viewed With
Apprehension

Strong disapproval toward any
proposed legislature to reduce or re-
lax the laws on employing children
under 16 years of age was expressed
BY members of the Connecticut
State Teachers association at the
1ater's meeting in Hartford on Sat-
Ilrday.
A vivid example of those fac
tors that tend toward child de-
linquency, such as the relaxation OF
child employment restrictions. was
cited by a report on a recent sur
vey made in one of the states high
schools where it was found that out
CT group of approximately 700 STU
dents, at least 10 per cent were IL
legally employed, as to age, while
80 per cent had no parental super
vision during the day time because
of the employment duties OF their
parents.
Edna Purten Of the state labor
department, one of the sessions
! principal speakers urged public &C
; ton against any proposal to reduce
the age limit within the employ
: ment law stating that employment
would not curb delinquency but only
increase it by distorting the sense
proportions Of children of that age.
Juvenile Court Judge Thomas Gill
speaking at the afternoon session,
cited the need for certain relaXa-
lions of the law particularly for
those pupils IA and Is years old
who are educationally retarded and
unable to make the proper adjust
ment to school training. 1t was
Judge Gill's contention that with
the proper supervision this type
pupil could be adjusted to employ
ment.
Guidance Superintendent Adler
of the Hartford high school stated
that the juvenile delinquency prob
lem could best be solved within the
individuals home and the church
and school were secondary. How
ever, he stressed that until the
proper home supervision and cor
! regional environment is developed
I the schools and churches must make
every effort to replace what is lack
| ing in the homes.
Speakers at the all-day session
stressed the fact that relaxation of
the labor laws would not necessar-
lily be the answer to the problem of
juvenile delinquency, and assumption
OF such proposal would be proven
within a short period after its in
auguration. effectively considered
the problem is essentially social
rather than a labor problem, it
was stated.
The session which lasted from 10
a, m. to p. m. was largely at
tended by teacher representatives
from all over the state. Represent
ing the local teachers was Miss
Fennessey Canty, member Of the
Wildly high school faculty.
The morning session of the days
program was devoted to discussion
of the teachers pension system.
Miss Dorothy Stanley. secy OF
A, the teachers retirement board of
! Hartford was the principal speaker
f. the morning.

Chris tia nifty Aids
Underdog Says Walker
Second Church Pastor Urges Pensioners to Rally to
Side OF All Who Suffer Injustices

81 do not think would be doing
our faith any disservice by saying
that Christianity is primarily con-
cerned with the underdog, with the
weak, the distressed, the diSinfer-
tied, the underpriviledged," stated
Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, Second
Congregational Church pastor, yes
terday morning in his sermon en-
titled, The Christian Church and
the Underdog."
DR.. Walker said in part:
Il believe that our faith ought to
command the respect ard loyalty
of the famous, the successful, the
rich and I believe that the church
is the place of all places where the
rich and the poor should meet to-
gether to worship God with humble,
contrite hearts. What I am trying
to say is that just as Jesus seemed
always to make the weak and the
downtrodden His special concern,
so the Church of Christ should al
ways be mindful of these people
or groups in society who have less

legeS and rewards of life. AS Chris
tians we ought to range ourselves
instinctively and Immediately on the
side of any man who suffers cruel
wrong and injustice. We ought to
go to the rescue of Gods man" as
quickly and as Fundamentally as
Stevenson went to the rescue of
Gods dog If your religion does
not put you definitely, instinctively,
SCIENTIFICALLY on the side OF the I'M
derdog, well, in my humble judy
ment, there is something sadly
amiss with your religion.
IF you have some conception Of
Christianity on the social and hui
man side as primarily the religion
of the underdog you can forgive

the minister who must seem at times
to wander rather far af1eld in his
Sunday morning sermons. You can
forgive the Council for Social
Action if the Council seems to be
habitually i'll content to leave good
enough alone. AS Christians we can
never be content as long as racial
prejudices, cruel injustice, and
fragrant evil stare us in the face.
Take a current magazine like the
January Atlantic A young Amer
lean who served as an ambulance
driver with the British Eighth
Army and who was invaded home
after over a years service at the
front writes, 'Outspoken racial
prejudices hit the returning Amer
lean like a blow in the face An
other writer in the same magazine
says, mo man can view the posi-
ton of the American Negro with
out a sore heart, troubled con-
science, and deep compassion If
these things are true-and who will
challenge them?-then they are
major concern of the Christian
churches of America.
Someone wrote to minister In
our fellowship but made mistake
in the name of the church. He adj
dressed his letter, The Rev. Mr.
So-and- so, First Congratulational
Church. That mistaken name gives
me pause! Comfort the church must
offer, thanksgiving to God should
be a part of every service but we
are not concerned to congratulate
ourselves or other Christians on
what wonderful people we are or
what surprising progress we have
made. The feeling of sanctity may
have its place in worship, mayhap
the sweet odor of incense or its
equivalent, but there must also be
the challenge to the conscience, the
stirring of the emotions, the arous-
ing of sympathy for those less priv
LEGGED and fortunate than ourselves"
