Nearly nll of the physical defects, however, were overcome by treatment. Critic of the law governing the of local children on the stage was made at the meeting when Miss Bentley declared that under the Jaw the District Commissioners can issue permits as they see fit for chil- dren of all to perform. Miss [Bentley e: ined, however, that the children t ng with theatrical com- panies are governed by the laws of the State from which they come. Violations of the existing law_for- bidding children under 14 vears of age to work during school hours and at night on the streets brought forth general expressions of criticism from council delegates after various alleged flaws in the present District law were alired by Miss Bentley. Blames Lack of Inspection. Among the principal things blamed by Miss Bentley for the lack of en forcement of the laws are tfe lack of any provision for regulay inspec- tions by 'her department to see that the laws are being enforced and: the *Jack of a law requiring employers to return work permits to the authorities when a child’s period of employment in an establishment has' been termi- nated. The lack of the latter regula- |, tion, which is in force élsewhere, she maid, enables a child to take his per- it and get a position where he chooses withoutithe dgpartment being mble to check on the mew work to see 4f it' comes within the work limit for inors 16 years of age and under. She added that all modern child labor Jaws require that .fhg permit bg issued to the employer, and that he return it ‘when he ceases g e ploy the child in question. - Child labor was: defended, with limitations, by J W. Sanford, chief probation officer of the Juvenile Court, who declared that work often keeps them out of trouble. He spoke espe- clally in favor of children being en- &bled to work during the Summer va- «eation period.
