Child Labour and Child Crimes 317
a period of training lasting just as long, de-
voting themselves to the care of children, hy-
giene, and sick nursing. No other exceptions
must be made, except those which exempt a
man from military service. Such duties done
for one’s country would come for many
women just at the time in which their interest
in the subject is awakened by marrying or the
thought of marrying. This training would
give a profounder meaning to their thoughts
on this subject. But even women who never
become mothers themselves would in this way
learn certain general principles of psy-
chology, hygiene, and care of the sick, that
they might make use of afterwards in every
station of life. Further, I look for increasing
limitations of the right of parents over child-
ren. Such limitations I mean as those which
have forbidden the exposure of children, have
imposed penalties for child murder, for cruelty
towards children, and the laws which have en-
forced obligatory attendance at school. In
England there are organisations which inves-
tigate the treatment of children at home and
which prevent cruelties against them. Moth-
ers who forget their duties can be reported
and punished with imprisonment; neglectful
fathers can be made to support their children.
