This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historical Development of Child-Labor Legislation in the United States: A Dissertation Submitted to the Catholic University of America in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The object of this study is to furnish a brief account for general reference purposes of the development of measures for the protection of children against the effects of premature and excessive employment. The most important items covered can be included under two main heads: Direct regulation and indirect regulation. Direct regulation is effected through legislation in specified employments relative to: Minimum age; minimum educational requirements for work permits; minimum physical requirements for work permits; maximum hours of labor; night work; issuance of work permits; health provisions, and inspection. Indirect regulation is effected through legislation relative to: Compulsory school attendance - provisions for both the school age and the length of term, and continuation and evening schools - school age and length of term being the two points to be considered here, likewise. The effect of indirect legislation is no less definite than that of direct legislation. Rather, it is recognized that the enforcement of the child-labor law is practically impossible without the assistance of a school attendance law which keeps the child in school during the time when he is not legally permitted to work. The continuation school laws, most of which have been enacted within the past two years, are particularly important for they follow the child into industry, keep him under the supervision of the school, and give him an opportunity to supplement his education. In presenting the provisions of the laws, certain difficulties were encountered. It was not always possible to retain the cumbersome wording of the statute and still be brief. For this reason, "factories" and "stores" are frequently used instead of "manufacturing, mechanical, and mercantile establishments." In a study made by William F. Ogburn of the statistical measurements of child-labor laws between the years 1879 and 1910, an index is given in the form of an appendix showing the location of the child-labor laws of each State from the first years of such legislative action to 1909 inclusive. The laws were located by means of the indices in the statute books. This necessitated looking through from 800 to 1,000 volumes. The methods of indexing in the different States were so varied that it was impossible to rely on finding all the child-labor laws indexed under "child labor." Hence from 10 to 16 index words were used in searching for these laws. The results were checked by the comparative summaries of legislation published each year by the New York State Library, and by the various issues of labor laws published by the United States Government. These facts establish the reliability of the data used as the basis for the study and digest of the child-labor laws up to the year 1910. From 1910 on, the laws were taken direct from the statute books and the results checked by the publications of the American Association for Labor Legislation and the United States Government. In general, the term "child-labor law" concerns the employment of persons under the age of 21, but the meaning varies according to the specific definition ineach State law. In like manner, "minor" means in general any person under 21, but may be specifically defined in a statute as covering a lesser age. Frequently, throughout this study, reference has been made to the "Federal Rules and Regulations." These are to be found in the Appendix. No penalty provisions have been included in the study. Aside from the historical development of the legislative action in each State, a series of charts are presented with a view to correlating the results to some degree.

This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Labor and the Republic Vice-chairman of the National Child Labor Committee, New York. The history of efforts for child labor legislation shows that they usually pass through three stages before reaching final success. When an agitation for a child labor law is started the first objection raised to it is that there are no children employed, or not at least any considerable number. After good people have gone to the mines and factories and have counted the children, and have gath ered undeniable data disproving that statement, the next objection that is brought forward is that while there may be some 'children employed, after all such employment is a good thing for the chil dren, and some very eminent men are named' as having been employed in their childhood, by reason of which they became very distinguished when grown up. After further research as to the evil effects of child labor, such as has been made at great length by our two assistant secretaries, and by many others, and after it has demonstrated beyond question that this employment of children is bad for the children, there still remains one stronghold to be taken. It is then said: Well, yes, there are some children employed, and that perhaps it is not altogether exactly what one would regard as ideal, but nevertheless the earn ings of these children are absolutely necessary 'for the maintenance of their families. Many of them, it is said, are the children of widows. In other cases their fathers have deserted or are ill, and, except for the earnings of these children, the families would suffer and might starve.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Working Children of Boston: A Study of Child Labor Under a Modern System of Legal Regulation In the days before the English factory acts these questions were all answered definitely in the negative. More recently they have been answered in the negative by many studies of the labor of chil dren in this country, from the early Massachusetts inquiries to those which led to the 19-volume report on Condition of Woman and Child Wage Earners.1 But each year legislation regulating child labor has tended to become more voluminous; child labor codes have been enacted and uniform child-labor laws have been proposed and passed, in part at least, by a considerable number of States. The public conscience has approved a 14-year minimum age and the requirement of employment certificates until 16 years of age, with compulsory school attendance up to 14 and between 14 and 16 if a child is not employed. Nevertheless, until the questions asked above can be answered absolutely in the affirmative it is impossible to settle back in the complacent belief that the child - labor problem has been solved. Under each more advanced form of regulation, therefore. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Compulsory School Attendance and Child Labor: A Study of the Historical Development of Regulations Compelling Attendance and Limiting the Labor of Children in a Selected Group of States The limits and purposes of this study forbid the examination of the laws relative to compulsory education and the restriction of the labor of children in all the states. It seems impracti cable even to take a sampling of such laws and administrative policies characterizing the principal geographic regions of the Union. The section dealing with the colonial period is limited to a few of the more populous colonies of the North, colonies in which the education of the children of common folk was especially stressed. Industrial conditions of great interest prevailed in the South, and the lives of working children were directed by laws of much the same character as those pre veiling at the time in England.3 Here, however, the Puritan zeal for literary education among the poor had no counter part. Industrial life began to be modified by negro slavery before distinctively provincial ideals could develop. State educational systems did not thrive as in the North, and the education of the masses did not become a vital problem until after the Civil War.
