CHILD LABOUR.:
The N.C. Daily News had the following reference to Miss Pitt's lecture:-Child labour in China is] defended on many grounds, such as that it is necessary for the children- to contribute theft, share to the Dougre contents of the family coffers and that when the mothers are our it is better for their offspring to be usefully employed than rumming about uncared for and incurring the risk of being kidnapped. In Shang- hai, children are set to work soon after they can walk, and although they are not found in factories, shops, etc., until a few more years have passed, yet thousands are sent out to work when they would be, in the lower schook of any other country, The hours children work in local,ills may not be long, froan a Chinese point of view, and in the foreign-

The problem should be easier of solution in Hongkong, where the Government, can impose its will, and therefore the southern Colony may be looked to Tor a lead." In the course of, a lecture delivered in Victoria last week; Miss Pits, of Fairlea School, suggested the op| pointment of a woman inspector of factories; the framing of factory laws; compulsory education, including in- diastrial and technical training for balf of the day; the establishment of more free schools, and the provision of playgrounds where possible; laws against re-selling children and for the registration of servants; and Obviously restricted immigration, such u programme of reform would have to be taken step by step, and, so far de Shanghai is concerned, much must depend upon the mea sures taken by the Japanese Govern. ment to suppress sweating, which is now carried on so extensively.
