LOUIS JOHNSON, Prop.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.—Wel
fare organizations in this and other
countries and state and government
officials are closely watching the
progress of the “Missouri Children’s
Code”, now before the state legis
j lature.
The code of fifty-one child wel
i fare laws drawn by a committee
1 appointed by Governor Gardner, is
! said to be the most complete ever
offered for legislative action Pro
j ponents express confidence of i.s
i enactment.
Enactment of somewhat similar
codes repealing old laws revising
1 others and containing new regula
! tions is being sought in many states
j by the National Committee for
Standardizing Children's Laws,
; which has the support of the Na
tional Child Labor Committee. But
nothing has been attempted on so
! broad a scale and the outcome in
Missouri is awaited as somewhat of
a test ease, according to Lucille S.
; Lowenstein, of the Missouri com
mission.
me eoae proviaes ior support oi
children born out of wedlock; raises
the age of consent to 16 years; es
tablishes the marriage age at 15;
abolishes common law marriages;
i
| provides for extradition of child de
' setters; provides for punishment
! of adults responsible for child de
linquency; establishes a state home
jj for dependent children; establishes
| a bureau for mehtal defectives at
| the University of Missouri to serve
courts, schools and institutions in
| examination of defectives, and pro
i vides special classes in public schools
! for feeble-minded, deaf, blind and
| crippled children. Marriage of
i feeble-minded and epileptics would
j be prohibited.
■ The code’s labor section prohibits
! employment' of children under T 4
: in any occupation unless an employ
jment certificate has been obtained,
] except during vacation periods. Boy?
over 12 years old and girls past
j 18 could engage in street trades
; if licensed and supplied with badges
| after special examinations. Child
ren under 16 could not be employed
i more than 8 hours a day or 48 hours
i a week, and children under 21 coul 1
not work as night messengers. Sue
; cial permits would be required for
children under 16 working under
: ground, on powrnr machinery, or on
i the stage.
Completion of the eighth grade
j would be necessary before employ
; ment certificates were issued, and
j the compulsory school attendance
age would be raised to 16. unless
the child had finished the eighth
i grade. Poverty of parents would
' not be grounds for school exemption.
The state board of health would
; have charge of a divison of child
j hygiene and would regulate condi
' tions and provide physical examina
i tion. School authorities would be
j required to open schools for public
meetings or community purposes
I The county superintendent of
| public welfare would be charged
with administration of the laws and,
with his assistants, would act as
probation, attendance and parole
officer for children.
Canadian social service leagues
universities throughout America,
directors of state welfare commis
sions, army officers, uplift associa
tions in Hawaii and Buenos Aires,
public library associations and va
rious government bureaus have re
quested special information as to the
details of the code. The proposed
j laws will be debated from all angles
; by special committees of the two
, houses before being brought up for
j action.
