MILLS VIOLATING
LMYS JUDGE
County Official Urges Compul
sory Education as Help in
Checking Child Labor.
Sixty-four per cent of the cotton
mills of Georgia are willfully violat
ing the provisions of the State child
labor law. asserted Judge W. W. Tin
dall, of the Juvenile Court of Fulton
County, who conducted the Sunday
evening services at the Ponce DeLeon
Avenue Baptist Church. Judge Tin
dall quoted from statistics compiled
by the Government to substantiate
his charge.
“Ignorance is responsible for this
condition of affairs." said the judge.
“What we need most in this section
of the South is compulsory educa
tion."
He said the argument that compul
sory education would necessitate a
double school system, one for the
whites and one for the negroes, is
pure buncombe.
“We have the negro problem to
face here, and in what better manner
could we face it than to teach the
negro to take care of himself?” asked
Judge Tindall
The North, he said, has had a more
difficult situation than the negro
problem to deal with, the mainte
nance of an element of population it
could not assimilate—the foreigner.
