Among the many problems to be
solved by the Georgia legislature
this session, should be*that of en.
acting a la w to prohibit thf working
of children under twelve years of
age in any manufacturing enter
prise in the stnte.
To benr testimony as to the truth*
fulnefcB.of the above assertion one
would only have to visit some of the
cotton mills in our state, where can
be found large numbers of children
at yvorli from seven years old up.
At first glance it will be seen that
their condition physically, is not
hat it ought! to be, and front i
short conversation with these chil*
dren the lack of educational advan
tages will be noticed.
Most of the Northern states
where the manufacture of cotton is
engaged in have already had laws
enacted on the subject which pro
hibit* the working of children ' at
different ages. The limit in some
of the states have been put at four
teen; some at fifteen while a- few
have it twelve and one state, New
Hampshire, has it at ten.
This question of child labor has
only been under discussion in the
South for the past few years, since
the large increase in the number of
cotton mills that has been erected.
However, it has not come nny too
soon. Outside of some of the large
mills very little influence or oppo
sition to such a bill has been brought
to bear, which we feel. certuin
would not be sufficient to overcome
that of those interested in the future
wel-fare morally, physicully and
educationally of the unfortunate
boys and girls, who have heretofore
been compelled to work in these
factories solely because of their
worthless and lazy parents.
Below will be found an extract
(rom Sunday’s Atlanta Journal on
the subject:
“\Ve hold It to be a self-evident pro
position that ehildren below the most
advanced of these ages cannotbe worked
in cotton mills or factories of any other
kind, without impairing their physical
constitutions, endangering their moral
wel-fare and depriving them of the ed
ucational opportunities whicli the state
provides for them.
"Toil in the close and lint-laden at
mosphere of a cotton mill, deprivation
of the fresh air and exercise that aTe
essential to the wel-fare of a child, lack
of moral restraint and wholesome in
struction must enevitably tend todwarf
the bodies, minds and souls of young
ohlldren.
“This is not the assertion of a mere
theory. A visit to cotton mills where
children below ten and»as young, os
seven are at work, and there are many
such mills in Georgia, will convince the
most skeptical investigator that it
the statement of a sad truth.
“There are worthless fathers and lasy
mothers wtio impose upon their chil
dren burdens which they themselves
should carry, simply because our laws
have left it possible for tfiem to* do so.
Such parents are to be found in every
cotton factory settlement in Georgia
and their number is increasing.
"Our government cherishes the prin-
eipal that family relation should not be
enterfered with for any but command
ing reasons- but it also recognizes and
acts upon the principle that when the
natural guardtahs and protector of chil
dren fall, or refuse, to do their duty
toward their offspring, or those who are
dependent upon them the iaw should
interfere.’’
The proposed* bill of Hon. Harvic
Jordan tp establish an Agricultural
High Schoolnt Griffin would simply put
extra expense on the state- In the
first place it Is not need, for everything
it could possibly accomplish cay be ac
complished in this city by t|ip efforts of
the State College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts. In the next'place.to
take $40,000 a,year froth the fees on
fertilizers simply decreases the common
school fund by that much. It might be
right it such an institution were
needed, but the State College, already
well established/ can do all that. it
necessary in this line.—Athens Tribune.
The Tribane is right, the state needs
no additional school that will interfere
with the valuable work being done in
the State College of Agriculture and
Meohsnic Arts, and the money appro
priated for this institution is well spent.
—Americus Times-RecordCr. ,
Tne News heartily concurs
the nbove. The state does not need
make any such appropriation
merely to satisfy the desires of a
few politicigtjs and constituents of
that section. The thing needed
most is to make larger appropria
tions for the public schools and
colleges already established and for
the improvement of same. No,
lets db not have any more at pres*
ent, but help to advance the inter
ests ot those that we already have;
