Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Finding Employment for Children Who Leave the Grade Schools to Go to Work While it is generally known that the Illinois law requires that all children between the ages of seven and fourteen shall attend school unless excused on the various grounds enumerated in the statute, many people do not know that on the fourteenth birthday the child may demand an age and school certificate and go to work, subject of course to the limitations of the Child Labor Law upon his hours and time of work and kind of employment, and subject also to the provision of the Compulsory Education Law that, until he is sixteen, he must be either at work or in school. Still less, perhaps, do people know the consequence to the child who is thus deprived of further schooling on the one hand and made to assume the heavy burden of responsibility on the other. For to most of these children leaving school means much more than a loss of opportunity. It means being placed in the way of great and varied temptations, while the will is weak and the mind not yet intelligent. Work is not always easy to find, and desirable work, which offers even a small amount of training and awakens ambition and interest, seems hopelessly scarce. Every year, thousands of children in Chicago take advantage of the privilege which the law gives them and leave school on the very day when they reach the age of fourteen and can legally obtain their working-papers. On this day the child is suddenly released from the discipline of the school and thrown on his own resources to find a job in any way he can and to become an independent wage-earner making a much-needed contribution to the family income. This sudden transition from school to work must necessarily be a difficult time of readjustment for the child, and the question of the kind of work which is undertaken is one of serious importance. The "first job" or the first year of work will often have a decisive influence on his whole working life and may make or mar his character.
