It Is not unusual, ss any public school teacher ill tell you, to find the newsboy of 15 In the sixth grade of school, while the one whose childhood is protected should reach the sixth grade by the eleventh or twelfth year, so that the first point, is curtailing the educational opportunities.

I wonder how manv realize that we have the largest number of absolutely illiterate children between the ages ol 10 and 14 of any state In the union? Then the ph steal effects of this trade exposure to bad weaiher, night work, irregularity of sleep, and, worst of all, disease through contact wtth vices. This Is not an abstract Idea, hut can be shown to be true by overwhelming statistics. The proposed ordinance sajs first that no child under 12 shull be a newsboy well, we say no child under 12 shall work in a mill, why let him tako the streets as a merchant? We have io protect a child up to that age a least, if vie want men of any degree of efficiency as our future citizens, it is often necessary to protect them against themselves, or their parents. It is liaid to make a child of 12 realize taat work now at the period of life which should be given to pure Joy and physical growth, will lead to such Inefficiency that in lajwtttcrbwwlll find this has occupation; iivss.lt Official Approval of the National Child Labor Committee. In connection with the ordinance Jiow before the city commission prohibiting boy under 13 years old frcm celling papers on the streets, Mrs.

W. Xu Murdoch, Alabama's representative In the National Child Labor association, has very pronounced views. The ordinance was Introduced Tuesday before the city commission, and it will tie acted on. Friday. Mrs, Murdoch says: To those of us, who have for a number of years been tr ing to awaken public interest in Alabama in ibetter laws for the protection of our children, nothing: has been a mure hopeful sign of the spirit of the day than the ordinance Drought by the Boys club to the city commission, Regulating the sale of newspapers.

"For some years the National Child Labor committee has realized that the 'V: newsboys were not being protected by the child labor laws as they shouljLjrlj must protect such child then, jand a very careful Invcs-nrirt lias "been made of the effebg of this trade 7 upon the boys physically then mentajjy and 'last, morally. It is people do not always realize bespydrift a blind alley' Must Not Be Neglected.

Form 7486. i i A I s. I Vr The sales slips today show us that a great many of you have started the New ear right. eve put can developing community. The idea of a badge for newsboys Is no new thing and not at oil arrogance on the part of those trying to obtain passage of this ordinance.

It is in use very satis fuctorily in many cities. In fact, tins whole ordinance is so exactly in line with what tne American Bar association and the National Child Labor committee have drawn up together as ideal, and wlnth bus become law' In many paits of the country alieady, that we feel it is a wonderful step In advance for Birmingham to nave such an ordinance. "It does not at all seek to stop the selling of papers. It prohibits only the one under 12, regulates the hours of others that school attendance mav be possible, and tries to protec tho subnormal child. Burely this is sane and righteous legislation! We ull ure too apt to forget that is it not the right thing to buw from tne smallest child; that In so doing we are prolonging child labor, we are apt to shtrk the individual responsibility, and consider child labor in the canneries of New Jersey us attrocious (one of our ow papers had an Editorial on it) In that we are Indeed people In glass houses, and should be very careful how we throw stones.1 We need better child labor laws in Alabama.

Few will deny that, and as our law makers meet only once In four years, If we cun, as a city, protec our children, for humanitys sake let us do it. You will find where tlure are people-who hold up their hands In horror over depriving little children of their right to work, It Is always those w'ho are not really Informed as to what child labor means, and who are confusing a child working In some way to make now and then some extra help for the family, and child labor there Is a wide difference. This article would cover too much space If I should go Into that. Looking to Next Generation. Certain Inalienable rights belong to childhood and the community hlch disregard those rights and las upon the shoulders of young children the burdens of Industry, will find Itself facing a class of socially, mentally, and morally unfit in the next generation.

"Nothing Is more evident to any student of society than that we must safeguard the youth of the nation; almost homicide is such statement and yet that is just what this proposed ordinance does safeguard, not prohibit, Just guard, tnis occupation and and make it a safer one for those boys who must work, An Investigate of the boys in tills city, shows manv of them do not have to work. They like the freedom from school, the Independence of parental control all this makes It essential that this trade shall be safeguarded ns far as possible As no luw holds In Itself any self acting principle, It Is net essary that we have baik of It an awakened public opinion, an opinion that wilt sic to it the law is enforced hence we feel tho necessity of saying constantly, as we are given the opportunity, that Alabama children need the protection of tho state, that this citv needs to safeguard Its children; that we need compulsory education well enforced and with suffii lent appropriations to make schools possible for all who need them "We feel this very ordinance sm a distinct step ahead In the child labor problem ot the whole state that we would ask the earnest consideration ol it by our people."
