Col. .Krank It Ry Jeft Friday. for Snu Francisco, Social workers In the etato (jt New Jersey have realized very notnhlo vo warda for their labors. Through thoir offgrts both iiqmhlleuttR and democrats hnvo co-operated In put ting through many; needed reforms by way of legislative enuttmont, Now Jersey has quite demonstrated that It Is possible- to Incorporate within n state organization tho most en lightened Idean and syflteiUB, now without lotting such matters llo waiting attention until certain bo clnl evils cry vainly tor remedial treatment. Following are some of their accemplishments: ' A reorganization of the education al system' of the state, whereby n commissioner of education Is ap pointed nt a salary of J 10,000 a year, to bo selected "without regard to whether his place of rosldonco la within or without the state," under whoso reglmo tho commonwealth Is to standardizethe teaching force of tho schools, the buildings, and the sanitary nnd hygienic arrangements for the pupils. There Is nn employ er's liability law which puts Now Jersey In the fore ground so far as tho statute law Is concerned. There nro amendments to the child labor law which prohibit the employment of children during school hours In mercantile establish ments and limit the number of hours children under tfi may bo employed to IS a week. Firms employing chil dren are compolled to keep a regis ter, giving Uio iiniaes, age Hiul time of employment of such employes, and this record Is open at all times for the Inspection of tho stato commis sioner of labor, who hns charge of thn enforcement -of tho InWj Another measure (Medford soclnt workers take note!) Is one which forbids tho attondnnco'of chlhlrun under 10 yonrs or ago ai ainiitemem juncwi unless ncconinnnlod by nnrout or adult friend. I There has boon the enactment of a statuto codifying tho poor laws,' which transforms the archaic and lll-l assorted laws Into a consistent work- ( able oode, In which the most nd-i vanccd anil humane Ideas aro Incor porated. Public sentiment aroused by the Xowark flro made possible the enactment of a thorough-going flro law for the state, winking flro drills compulsory, providing moro ade-, quatcly for flro escapes,' and; strengthening tho department of labor, which la rpsponslblo fpr the enforcement of the law. I'ndor the thorough machinery thus provided Incipient conflagrations that occur with Htnrtllng regularity In the basements of certain schools, thereby endangering tho lives of many chil dren, would bo made practically Im possible. Tho above nro only a few of many excellent enactments, which will not He about unenforced, but tor which this progressive state litis provided enlightened officials, well paid, who will strlft'.ly enforce the Inws. Under an enlightened governor, who Is proving his fearlessness tho practical demonstration of Ills Ideals, Oregon and Oregon social workers should recognize both their opportunity nnd obligation In the matter of social legislation.
