NRA code helps in schools in North Carolina mills
Nearly half of 14 to 16 year olds who left textile mills after the August 1933 code returned to school. Commissioner A. J. Fletcher reports 58 percent of boys and 39.6 percent of girls aged 14 to 16 who worked before the code went back to class, with 59.6 percent of 14 year olds and 45 percent of 15 year olds returning. Of 319 not in school, many cited fatigue or finances. Major Fletcher warns child labor rises with prosperity and urges federal law adoption before codes expire in 1936.
