H. FREDERICK SACREMENTO, Calif., March 6. (NEA Service Writer.) —Califor- nia's sunshine has betrayed an army of children into crop bondage. The yerr round these tiny work ers traverse the state, crossing and criss-crossing their own paths. Unattached to any city or town, they know no permanent homes save the autos and auto camps in which they live. There are some 20,000 of then. And the majority receive little or no education because the crops de mand too much of their time to permit attendance at school . The age of these children who go into the fields is from a few wee. to 18 years. Babies can be found swaddled in bundles on the ground, while their parents gather the crops. Children of 5 and 6 labor beside their parents. These youngsters who have for. gotten how to play speak a lan guage of their own. “Where are you from?” asked one 12-year-old girl of a new ar rival. From cotton,” answers the othe”. “I’ve been in asparagus,” states the first. This is their country and their life—cotton, asparagus, cherries and so on through the state’s 24 crops. They have forgotten, how to pl because play time vitality is consuin ed in the fields. They stoop and gather- until their backs ache and their whole being cries for rest. With the day’s work finished, the’, are only too glad to throw them selves down to sleep on beds con sisting usually of quilts or blankets of uninviting appearance. Within the state runs this hectic, aimless whirlpool of second-hand cars, autos trucks, farm wagons, any thing which will carry a man and his family. The father drives, the mother sits teside him, the luggage is piled into the car or strapped to running boards. The children perch wherever they can find hold. The whirlpool extends through CttSIEIEDADVEmSEMENTS /ANTED LOANS, LOANS, LOANS, LOANS—Having a di rect connection and nlenty of uoney at the lowest possible inter est rate.

The crops mature at different times. The conveyances follow. Outside the state two great feed ing streams supply whatever work ers are needed. Down through Washington apples and Oregon hops they come from homes left far behind in the plains states apd even the Great Lakes re gions. Up through southern California comes a second stream, vhe cotton workers. Many families in this r rent have worked in cotton from the Old South through state after state until they have reached the cotton fields of southern California. Here they strike the whirlpool and are absorbed among the 50,000. All nations except the Chinese and Japanese are represented in this child labor problem. There are Italians, Americans, Mexicans, ne groes, Russians, and all the hetorc geny that makes up California. But nationality is rapidly lost in the new race into which they are be ing builded—the race of children who don’t fit in. Many of them seem to sense that they are “different,” and feel great anxiety to “conform.” “The migratory child of today resents the situation because he had known better times and differ ent conditions,” says Miss Georgi ana Garden, of the state Depart ment of Education, who has made extensive inquiry into the situation. “But the problem i smore diffi cult when we consider the future ‘cropper.’ The child born in the crops, knowing nothing else, will not care. He will adjust himself to conditions and become an habitual drifter, a spendthrift and a man or woman of no ties to make him or her a better citizen.” In one camp a girl who had pass ed through the first six grades had established a school. It was free, and attended by every child in the camp voluntarily. The teacher was 13 years old! Instances are not infrequent where a child has asked the teacher of a school to lay out a course of study “because I’m going to citrus, where there ain’t no school,” or some other crop. In 1921 the state Department cf Education introduced into the Legis lature a migratory school law. An appropriation of SIO,OOO was made to establish temporary schools, where the little nomads gathered. Also penalties were provided for parents who did not enroll their children in the new district to which they moved. But later it was found more prac ticable to place emergency teachers in the regular district schools, and to absorb the influx there.” YOU tried the Rest NOW try the BEST.
