"It it atill true," says the commit aoo, "that an idle brain ii the devil's ' workshop and juvenile delinquency rises in nearly all rivi from idle aess or lark of proper direction of youthful energy." , Under the regulations, no girl under fourteen years of ng? shall be per mitted to work in any of the ornipn ' tiona enumerated in aeetion 5 for the reason that girls of tender age, accord Ing to the romminsion, should not lie illpwed to run the dangers of nsto fciations inherent in employment in public plare. The Two Sections. Section 5 of the child liihor law, rlinp ter 100 of the has of 1919 provides: No child under the age of fourteen year shall be employed or permitted to work, in or about or in connection with any mill, factory, cannery, work shop, manufacturing establishment, lauadry, bakery, mercantile estallish Went, uflice, hotel, resraurnnt, burlier hop, boot-hlui'k stand, puldie stable, garage, place of amusement, brick yard, lumber yard, or any messenger or delivery service, except in eases and under regulations prescribed hv the Commission hereinafter created.'1 Section 6. "I'rovide no person un der sixtreu years of age shall be em ployed or permitted to work, at niglit in any of the places or occupatious referred to in section 3 of this net, between the hour of 9 p. m. and t a. ai., and no person under aiitren . year of age shall be employed or per mitted to work In or about or in con nection with any quarry or iiiine." Commissions Ruling. These are the two sections to which the child labor commission gave its attention and to which various interests addressed themselves recently in public hearing before the commission. Those ruling announred yesterday follow: ' "1. No child of any age under six teen year shall be permitted to work la any of the necupnt ion 'mentioned is section 5, lie fore 6 o'clock in the morning or after 9 o'clock at night. This ruling is made nwndetory by . aeetion 6, and tha law give no di rreation to tho commission to modify, tha same. "Z. No fjirl under fourteen years of . tge shall lie permitted to work in any f the occupations mentioned in sec tion 5. The reason for this is that if tha womanhood of the Htate N to be properly conserved in the future, girl of tender age certainly should not be allowed to 'run the dangers of arspris tion inherent in employment in public places. "X No child under fourteen years of age shall lw employed in any of the occupations mentioned in sertion V for more than right hours In any one day. "4. Hoy' between 12 and 14 years of ge may he employed in the eiiuni anted occupations rhen the public aehool is not in session when it is shown to the county sup -rintendent of public Welfare that the proposed employment if not to the injury of tha health or moral of the child. Hut in no case shall tusk employment be lep;al until a cer tificate has lu'cii issued by the county superintendent nf public welfare on blank furnished by the Htate com mission. Before determining the ques tion the county superintendent of public welfare may, if he deem it accessary, require a physical ciaininn- ' tion of the child by the public health officer or other practicing physician. "5. During the time that the public school is in setsion hoys between 12 ad 1 yer of age may be employed Saturday and out of school hours on the same conditions as alove, pro vided that such employment does not interfere ith their school work. Where school ofticinls have provided for hat ' it known as continuation schools, anil where arrangements have been made to make the outside employment a unit of the school work, boys of this age may be, in specific cases, allowed to be occupied in employment during school heure for a limited time, at the dis- - rretion of the superintendent of the school.
