The piece notes Jess Willard demanding 330000 to fight while suggesting a joint debate with almost any college president could be arranged for 18500.

San Francisco reports discuss rodent related plague transmission with Assistant Surgeon General W C Rucker asserting rats and ground squirrels spread bubonic plague while universal rat-proofing and targeted immunization are debated as preventive measures.

The Children’s Bureau reports on Connecticut’s child labor certificate system, the key enforcement tool for protectsing youths 10 to 15. It questions how papers are issued, who judges reading and writing ability, age verification, and whether working cards are used to evade truancy or extend protection beyond the statute. The study notes that many 1910-era children work to support families, not for leisure, and stresses the broader task of ensuring laws are carried out.
The Connecticut system links compulsory education with child labor law. A State Board of Education officer issues working papers, inspects shops, and visits homes of children who quit work.
