Show Theory of OverEducation. Propaganda of Proponents of Child Labor By MISS GRACE ABBOTT, U. S. Department of Labor. When manufacturers' associations and other big business organizations organiza-tions could not find another reason for opposing child labor laws they spread the idea that poor boya and girls should not be cent to school past the lower grades. ' This propaganda has convinced many parents that they are over-educating over-educating their children. Back of this opposition is the desire of the manufacturers and big business men to get poor boys and girls into their kitchens and factories. They always evade the issue. They never plead 'industry's cause. If th$ child labor measure is a national bill they stick up for state rights. If it is a proposed state law they base their opposition J on the contention that-the rights of communities would be outraged. |
