Lovejoy, general secretary of the National Child Labor Commit- tee. This statement appears in the American Child, the current. issue of which is devoted to child labor in ag- riculture. “The idyllic conception of country life stands in the way of popular appreciation even of the existence of rural child labor. Long ago We standardized our ideas of farm life as wholly delectable and hence we assume that because the million and a half children ‘gainfully employed’ in agriculture are in the great out- doors their condition is necessarily fortunate. Hundreds of thousands of these young farm laborers under six- teen. it should be home in mind, are workingr for person: other than their parents. Moreover, the children list- ed by the census as ‘gainfully employ- ed' on farms represent but a fraction of the number unfortunately affected by farm work. partict'larly as regards school attendance. in gettingr their 1rop out do noq start their children to school, knowing 1 they will move about (‘ hristmas time; then after they have moved. they ar- gue that it won't be long h1fo’re St hool closes and swim: Work opens up, so ‘it is of no use to >ta1t them at all. 'Many 1hil1l111n weic Iound who had 3been out of school for a whole year ‘ at a time." Mr. Gibbons says further .that tenancy. “herever f1,.1und inter- feres with ~<1hool attendance, and iwhere them is an excessive amount of it. as in the one- trop areas it un- idoubtedly influences owner parents lin not sending their own children to : school. , Mr. Gibbons does not believe that lanything would be gained at present 1 by attempting to deal with rural, child {labor by direct legislative prohibi- ‘ tion. “The indirect methodâ€"real com- {pulsar} education with adequate ma- [chinery for enforc‘ement, holds out greater hopes," he says. Other ar- Iticles in the Rural Number of the iAmeriLan (hild are “What is (hild .Labor‘.’ ‘ by Edward N. Hopper. and l“The Work Needs of Children." by iRaymond G. Fuller. “The nonspiwous feature of rural child labor is indeed, its interference with school attendamc. The average-i rural <chuol term in the United States is 140 days. while the city; term is 180 days. Of every hundred children enrolled in city schools the‘ daily attendance is 80. while of every hun red enrolled in rural schools onlyi 68 re in daily attendance. So that for every hundred days of schooling received bv the average. city child, the average countrv- child gets only 65. Studies made by the National Childl Labor (ommittee show that child labor on farms 'and ranches cause as.r much absence from school as illness,v1 bad weather, bad roads, distance offi home from school. and indifferenece‘ of parents or children all combinedâ€"‘ and sometimes even exceeds the ab-; sences caused by all these other: factors. “The enforcement of compulsory alt-i tendance laws in rural school districts is notoriously poor throughout the?E land. No one section of the country; can justly point the finger of scorn at‘ any other section because of its sin} in this respect, for one's sin is as: great as another's. No law restricts} or regulates farm work by children;‘: the only laws that relate to the sub-1 ject in any way are the compulsory! school attendance‘acts, and they ap-g ply only in school hours, and are but' little respected." '; The effect of tenant farming on thel rural child labor situation is discus-g sed by Charles E. Gibbons, specialistl of the National Child Labor Commit-1 tee on rural life. The tenant system: of agriculture, Mr. Gibbons shows,1 puts a premium on the labor of child-j rcn, even that of children too young? to go to school. The migratoriness of}1 tenant families is a large factor inl reducing school attendance. In al study in the one-crop sections of Ten-3 ncsscc Mr. Gibbons found that the: farm owners had owned their land anj average of 164.0 months, while thel tenants had livcd»~in the same place} an average of only 28.8 months. “Moving time is usually about the, first of the year.
