Hin- man has given an opinion to Charles D. Hine, secretary of the state board of education, in which the law of 1913, relating to the temporary employment of children between 14 and 16 years of age is interpreted. Under the act re- ferred to the attorney general says there may be issued only such tem- porary certificates as permit tempor- ary employment during the summer vacation of the school which children are by law required to attend. The opinion follows: Charles D. Hine, Esq., Secretary State Board of Education: Dear Sir:—You ask my opinion as to whether the certificate provided for by Chapter 211 of the public acts of 1913 may be issued so as to permit tempofary employment at any time during the year other than the sum- mer vacation. Said chapter provides as follows: “Any child in good physical condi- tion, between 14 and 16 years of age, on application in person to the sec- retary or agent uf the state board of education “or a certificate of em- ployment, shall be granted a tempor- ary or vacation certificate, permitting the employment of said child during the summer vacation.” In my opinion the language of this chapter, construed as a whole, and in connestion with other related statutes, plainly indicates ‘an. intention to per- mit employment. under said certifi- cate during the summer vacation per- iod only, when their regular attend- ance at school would not thereby be interfered with, of children whose em- gloyment would otherwise be unlaw- ul. The employment certificates pro- vided by section 2 of chapter 119 of { the public acts of 1911 are granted only upon the conditions as to educa- tional attainments therein prescribed, and section 271 of the general stat- utes requires regular attendance at school by a child while he is enrolled as a scholar. To construe said chap- ter 211 as permitting temporary em- ployment of a child, whose employ- ment and consequent exemption from school attendance has not been au- thorized by certificate under chapter 119 of the public acts of 1911, at a time when the regular attendance by law would be interrupted by such em- ployment would, in my opinion, not only be unwarranted by the language of the acts, but also involve an in- consistency with said other existing statutes concerning the employment and school attendance of children not to be presumed in the absence of pro- visions more imperatively leading to such a construction than do the pro- visions of said chapter 211. On the other hand, the construction herein adopted is in harmony with the other statutory provisions relating to the general ‘subject and creates an excep- tion to the genera] restrictioné as to employment of children for which a logical reason is clearly apparent. In my judgment, there may be is- sued under said chapter 211 only such certificate as permits temporary em- ployment during the summer vacation of the school which the child is by law required to attend. y Respectfully submitted, GEORGE E. HINMAN, Attorney General. COMPANY MAY ISSUE MILLION IN STOCK. ‘Telephone Directors Call Special Meet- ing of Stockholders For Next Month.

New York Newspaperman Poliing the Presidential Vote in This Section. In an endeavor to forecast the presi- dential vote this coming November, a representative of the New York Herald is in town for a fow days taking a straw vote. Tuesday he visited the main rection of the city, and he will tour the factories. While taking the straw vote in Hart- ford, Mr. Journalist encountered diffi- cultfes. Because of the number of questions which the traveling journal- ist desired answers to, the blanks which he handed out were as large as hand- bills. He picked out the south corner of Main and Asyzum streets, Hartford, laig down his suit case, and began op- erations. Not many straws had been taken by the newspaperman when the police stopped him, on two grounds; first, he had no permit from the mayor, and, second, he was apparently violating a city of Hartford ordinance forbidding the distribution of handbills on the street. Publisher James Gordon Bennett’s representative protested in vain that he had not been interrupted in other cities. He was advised to accompany the officer to the police staticn, to see the desk man, which he did. Then he was advised to see the prosecuting at- torney and later the mayor. He went to the municipal building, but that is not a good place to leok for the mayor with any degree of success Saturday afternoons. The journalist finally call- ed it a day, saying Hartford was a urique city. Incidentally, it was reported that he was uccessful i’ conducting a poll at the large gates of the Underwocd Man- ufacturing company, at noon, without 008 interference.
