Social workers In the etato (jt New

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

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
