Labor of Children on Farms Great Kansas Problem
Agriculture Pursuits Clain Larger Number Than Factory Work McFarland
Child labor on farms is a greater problem in Kansas than child labor in factories, according to Alice Menon, director of the Children and children of the Kansas court of industrial relations, writing to Dr. Florence Sherbon of the University of Kansas in connection with the ob servance of May 1 as child hostess.
"The latest available figures show 7270 children in Kansas between the ages of 10 and 15 gainfully emu- tioned. Of these, 3765 are employed in agricu- trature. Normal work on home farms is not injurious, but industrialized work such as is found in the sugar-producing areas of Missouri and potato fields may be injurious.
**Conditions Undermining Health**
"The women's division of the course of industrial relations has found conditions in the Kawasan beet field unstable. Large boys stop shouldered, small girls with pinched faces, anemic from poor nutrition and unnatural work, are obviously a result of early hard work. Physical examinations of the child hygiene division of the state board of health bore out the observations of the industrial survey."
"Systematic physical examination of school children is needed to bring the public to a realization of the defects resulting from such conditions. There is no requirement in Kansas for physical examination of children during employment. There is no requirement for periodic examinations of children during employment.
Proposed Amendment
"At the last session of the legislature an amendment to the child labor law was proposed carrying a provision for physical examination of children entering employment, before they became laborers of the child labor inspector where children had been excused from school because of ill health and were then found working in poultry houses, factories and restaurants were the conditions of work were difficult even though the jobs were good health and strong physique.
"Successful vocational guidance requires a knowledge of the physical condition of the child."
Kansas Athletes Praised
'Les' Edmonds Commends Stat Football Players
In Leslie Edmond's "Just As It Seems to Me" column in the Topeka Capital, recently appeared a commendatory article about Western Kansas athletes, in which Mr. Edmond describes a number of former Kansas players.
Two of the men he spoke of were Pooler and Hicks, the "Chamberlin and Rutherford" of K. U. Both of them attended the University at the University. Pooler, who played in '01, '02, '03, and '04, was captain in 1904. A. C. Hicks played in '02, '03, '04, and '05. He was both in 1905. Both men are from Beloit.
"And should not the name of Dewey Huston, the valley's premier dropkicker, be added to those of 'Dutch Detiller, 'Buster' Coolidge, Bert Barnes, 'Red' Agnew, and Capitan Jones, 'Brian' McCarthy, Smith Center. Truth, is that not a wonderful array of stars for a small western Kansas community?"
Dettwier and Coolidge were both former Kansas football players. Dettwier played in '12, '13, and '14, and Dettwier played in '15. Coolidge, considered by many as one of the best defensive halftacks ever produced in the valley, was on the team in '11, '12, and '13. Coolidge He was captain in 1913.
Huston, Barnes and Agnew were former Aggie players. Stevens is captain of the 1924 Yale team.
