MARIETTA, GA., THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1924 B e e e WHY NOT MAKE COMPULSORY EDUCATION ; NATION WIDE? ; R } | We are nat surprised that certain interests ge/t} very much upset when the state or nation attempts ] to pass legislation protecting children from the aw fulness of working for a pittance early in childhood and never having a chance to develop their minds and gain education enough to demand wages equal to life’s necessities. : ] In some states manufacturing plants compete with markets and pilé up huge fortunes because they are§ able to employ men, women and children at abso lutely existing wages and no more, Young men and woemen with educational advantages cannot be at tracted to their jobs. Grown men and women fortu nate enough to have prepared themselves for skilled trades and business careers are never found em ployed in such places. Only when poverty and the needs of a family force men and women to the drudg ery of working for an existence, is there a field of laborers for manufacturers of this type, and they know what conditions must be brought about to cre ate a supply of labor at their wages. Illiteracy must be plentiful. Of course they are not in favor of allowing all ¢hildren the privilege of éoing to school until they are eighteen. When a young man or young woman reaches that age they have developed a personality and ambition enough to compare their lot vs:ith the general surroundings of the community and if a fa vorable comparison cannot be made the boy or girl is likely to look fqr a better location. Some states are practically controlled by big man ufacturers, who employ children at cheap wages and long hours instead of men at living pay. They con trol the state, but cannot control the nation, there- Judge S. H. Sibley Elected President Of Georgia Alumni Athens, Ga., June 17.—Jjudge Sam uel H.

Groover Reunion Held June 15th On last Sunday, June 15, the Groover family met for a reunion at . the old Groover home, now the home of Mrs. A. L. Dodgen.

The public is invited to see the pa rade the posters say, and as it has been several months since the Ku Klux have been seen in parade it is exﬂected that a large crowd will gath er here to witness the affair. SECOND BAPTIST NEWS Next Sunday will be a red letter day in the history of the Second Bap tist church. The pastor, Rev. Geo. V. Crow, has mailed letters to five hundred of his friends asking their aid in raising the debt on the new building. The amount yet to be raised is $3,600. The Baptist State Mission Board of Georgia has agreed to give $1,200 if the church can raise the balance of $2,300. The pastor appeals to every member of the church and to every friend to come to their help in this hour of need. Next Sunday morning at the 11 o'clock service will be donation hour and the pastor earnestly desires that every person in Marietta and Cobb county who can, will give something on this debt. If you cannqt come to the service, then send your gift to the pastor or any member of the church, Let's pray for a great day and ‘then let's try to do something worth while in this worthy cause of a wor thy Master and Savigr. : fore, they do not want any federal law passed that will take the childrea from their shops and force them to hire men at wages necessary to siipport a family and compete fairly with plants in states with such laws being enforced. ; Not many years ago right here in Georgia, chil dren under twelve years of age worked ten and twelve hours a day in factories for &4 inere pittance. The only thing that corrected this evil and gave children & chance to prepare themselves for better conditions was child labor laws. The same argument about government nieddling and liberty was used to create sentiment against the child labor law several years ago. What did liberty mean to children who had to work twelve hours a day, twelve months in the year? Their liberty came when the law said they miust go to school at least six months in each year and could not be required to work more than ten hours a day. Give them six months’ edueation and they can work anywhere they please, for whatever they please, says the law, but they must have the six months’ education each year so that they may develop mentally into more capa-' ble men and women and consequently make better citizens, { Fortunately there are few employers left in the state of Georgia who depend on squeezing the life blood out of children to make fortunes. Most of them realize that a healthy, fairly paid and con tented adult employee is worth more to the busi ness, and are more tfustworth); and loyal. Few, if any, of the factories that worked children 12 hours a day would go back to the old conditions if they could. They have realized the advantage of employ ing adult laborers under livable conditions, though the‘y said they would have to close down when the present law went into effect. If the nation hasn’t the right to make and enforee laws protecting the lives of its future citizens, what right has it for existance? No tyrant ever insisted on ‘educating his subjects, and no tyranny ever grew out \of compulsory school laws for children. When an airplane engine begins missing the avia tor is soon in the same fix. A brave man doesn’t mind meeting danger face to face, but he knows better than to meet a mule back to back. THE MARIETTA JOURNAL FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES We had 386 in Sunday school last Sunday.
