All children between 12 and 14 who wish to work out of
school hours must receive a certificate from the School
Medical Officer. I have examined in all 166 such children,
and refused certificates in 3 cases.
The employment which is most general is the delivery of
newspapers and I am of opinion that children who are in good
health will not suffer, but may be benefited by this out
door work which they do.
It is necessary of course, that the conditions of the
Bye-Laws should be observed with regard to clothing, etc.
Every child who is licensed to carry out out-door work of
this character in all weathers should be provided with rain
proof covering and good footwear.
Your obedient servant,
C.S. BREBNER.
