1901. 1 Ed. VII, c. 20. Youthful Offenders Act, providing for (1) the removal of disqualifications attaching to felony, (2) the liability of parent or guardian in the case of youthful offenders, (3) the remand of youthful offenders to other places than prisons, (4) the recovery of expenses of maintenance from parent or person legally liable, etc., etc. 1901. 1 Ed. VII, c. 27. Intoxicating Liquors (Sale to Children) Act, forbidding the sale or delivery save at the residence or working place of the purchaser of any description of intoxicating liquor to any person under the age of fourteen years, except in corked and sealed vessels, in quantities not less than one reputed pint. It should be noticed that the Licensing Act of 1872 prohibited the sale of any description of spirits to any person apparently under the age of sixteen years. 1903. 3 Ed. VII, c. 45. The Employment of Children Act, containing restrictions on the hours of employment, age of employees, nature of employment, etc., etc. There have also been several Education Acts either passed or proposed, but it is doubtful whether these have not usually had their origin in the exigencies of party politics rather than in a _bonâ fide_ desire for the welfare of children. An honourable exception is the Elementary Education (Defective and Epileptic Children) Act of 1899. _Printed by Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons, Ltd., Bath._ Transcriber’s Notes pg 10 Changed The helpless ness to: helplessness pg 58 Changed my finishing he to: the pg 126 Added period after: our visit to you
