Notes Connecticut School Age Certificates, 1904-1911 -- These certificates vouched for a young person'sright to work. As the 20th century opened, the issue of child labor had risen to prominence in thelabor movement. Thanks to reformers like Florence Kelley, Jane Addams, and Mother Jones, people were starting to take notice, and some states began regulating hours and conditions in which children could work. Connecticut started establishingeducational requirements for working children in 1869. By 1882, working children between the ages of 8 and 14 wererequired to attend at least 12 weeks of school, and in 1895, children under the age of 14 were prohibited from working in "gainful employment" at all. In 1899, additional legislation gave teeth to the law by imposing a $20-per-week fine. To ensure compliance, employers had to keep proof of age for their child employees on file, but proof could be hard to come by, particularly in the cases of manyyoung immigrants. The Connecticut State Board of Education helped with oversight of child laborers and, beginning in 1903, could issue certificates for children over 14 as proof of age.
On 07 May 1910,Eva was issued a School Age Certificate, C 541. Her birth date was recorded as 25 Sep 1895, as per her school record. This dateseems a few days off, but nothing like her brother Amedee's info.
