Summary
In White v. Wittemann Lithographic Co., 131 N.Y. 631, it was assumed that a boy of thirteen understood the danger of getting his hand caught in cogs, and as stated by Labatt, in his work on Master and Servant, the duty of instructing minors, being predicated upon the fact that without such instruction they would be exposed to avoidable dangers of which they are presumably ignorant, it follows that, after they have been properly instructed, their minority will usually cease to be a material factor in estimating the extent of the employers' liability.
