The Judge said: "In view of all the facts the verdict of the jury seems a right one; but my young friend Mr, Smith is a little too severe in his objec- tions to the law relating to the father's unlimited control over the child. It is true the State makes the father guardian and custodian. Yet the State retains some supervision, and there are many statutes for the child's benefit limiting paternal control, as it existed under the old common law; for example: the statutes forbidding certain emplo...y- ments (51), forbidding the giving of to- bacco to minors under sixteen years of age (52), compelling sixteen weeks' school attendance (53), prescribing pen- alties for wilful cruelty (54), for endan- gering life or health (55) andforaban- 72 Mr. Lex donment of a child under one year of age (56). In addition to this restriction on paternal authority, the father cannot ap- prentice the child without the mother's consent (57), nor remove the family from the homestead without her con- sent unless he has furnished another home (58), nor dispose of the custody and tuition of his child by will if the mother be suitable and desirous of act- ing as guardian (59), nor deprive her of her child's custody if he is a lunatic.
