CHILD LABOUR SCANDAL...
SCHOOL CHILDREN WHO · WORK TOO LONG,
Amongst all the clamour for a shorter day no one seems to have advocated any form of pressure to prevent the exploitation of child- rea of school age. It must be remembered that they are at school for five and a half hours to [begin with, and that school makes a very considerable drain upon the vitality of little people under fourteen.
The Medical Sub-Committee of Warrington Education Committee bas published some striking figures as to child labour in that town. Several hundreds of children under eleven years aro employed out of school hours. One girl of seren works Th hours weekly, another works 21 hours for 6d, and a girl of nine is employed 14 hours for the same wage.
A boy of eight years works 2 hours every day and eight hours on Saturday for 2s,; another, aged nine, works 18 hours a week in a bakehouse. A lad of 10 works 25 hours a week, of which 13 are on a Saturday. A girl aged 10 washes, peels and chips potatoes for 20 hours a week for the sem of is. Not one of the 721 cases investigated got proper remunera tion with the exception of the boys who sell and deliver news- papers.
TOO SLEEPY TO LEARN. Sir George Newman gives the following instances in his report to the Board of Education:-
Erraud boy age 12, works an hour before breakfast, one hour at mid-day, four hours after school, and 13 hours on Saturday, His wages are 1s. 92. a week, and his teacher reports him inatten- tive in school, over-tired and
nerous.
Boy of 11 worked 23 hours be- fore school, 94 hours after school, and 13 hours on Saturday. Teacher reports he often fell asleep in school.
Boy of II works in and about stables for eight hours a dar, and 14 hours on Saturdays. Wages 6d, a week and his food. Teacher reports that be is dull and languid in school.
Then Mr. Spurley Hey, Director of Education in Manchester, says that in that city there are 6,000 children of school age employed for profit, some of whom work for 40 hours a week in addition to their time in school.
In Birmingham there are. 9,000 school children similarly em- ployed, several hundreds of whom work over 40 hours a week, and one poor little child who works over 70 hours a week.

For this reason, no doubt, admittance to the ninth Locdon Medical Exhibition-the first since the outbreak of war which opened recently at the Central Hall, Westminster, is strictly con- fined to the medical profession.

A Daily Chronicle, represent- ative, however, discovered amidst a strange assortment of exhibits a real bombardment in progress -though, fortunately, a noiseless one. Within a drop of solution & billion particles could be seen (by the aid of an ultra-microscope magnifying 1,500 times) actively attacking the molegules of the surrounding fluid, a battle → which will continue incessantly for over two years to come.
To the layman it appeared more like a mystic dance of globules, each of kaleidoscopić bue, the result of reflection.

A representative of British Colloids, Ltd. explained that it was merely a solution containing collosol of silver a drug in a gelatinous state. The constant motion was associated with e continual discharge of electric) [1 ions, the activity shown being a measure of the medicinal value.
Whilst the Germans, working along similar lines, were only able to invent solutions which would retain their activity for a few weeks, Mr. Henry Crookes (son of the late Sir William Crookes) was now able to prepare collosols at his laboratories which, after two years, showed no less activity than when freshly prepared. Their purpose, he added, is to facilitate the use of drugs by presenting them in a condition in which they can be easily assimilated and with a minimum, of constitutional diz- turbance.
