Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Every Child in School: A Safeguard Against Child Labor and Illiteracy Last year in the campaign against child labor 44 States, the District of Columbia, and the city of New York made every effort to awaken communities and individual parents to the child´s need for education and to see that he has the opportunity for it through the enactment and enforcement of adequate school attendance and child-labor laws. "Every Child in School" was the aim of the Back-to-School and Stay-in-School campaign which was started during Children´s Year by the Children´s Bureau of the United States Department of Labor and the Child Conservation Section of the Council of National Defense because thousands of boys and girls had been drawn into work by the war-time demand for labor and the high cost of living. "Stay-in-School" is still the slogan in many communities where they are combating child labor by creating a sentiment in favor of school attendance. Cooperation. School superintendents and teachers not only cooperated with the child-welfare committees in this campaign, but also in some communities the school authorities were asked to take charge of the drive. In one State the superintendent of public instruction was appointed State chairman for the Back-to-School drive which was carried on by the county superintendents of schools and the teachers with great success. The superintendent of schools in one town enlisted the interest of 150 leading citizens. A citizen was considered having gone over the top when, because of his or her personal efforts, at least one boy or girl who would not otherwise have done so entered and remained in school during the remainder of the year. Not only did the child welfare committees cooperate with the school authorities, but also in man instances they enlisted the interest of employers, rotary clubs, chambers of commerce, and other local organizations to assist in returning children to school and in raising scholarship funds to enable boys and girls to remain in school longer.
