WAGE-EARNING CHILDREN

The very worst feature of underpaid labour is that it


tends to make wage earners of children and, in so doing,
deteriorates the coming generation of adult wage
earners.

Where work is carried on in the home, the temptation to


press children into the service is very great.
Child Labor

• Educationally, the results of early industrial labour are naturally


disastrous. “In none of the great Southern States,” writes Mrs
Kelley, “in which young children are employed in manufacture are
80% of the children between 10 and 14 years of age able to read
and write.”
SUMMARY
• Thus, in every respect, the industrial employment of children is an
injury to the community; and it is more than possible (I am not
recommending the course as a practicable one) that, in the long run,
the nation would save money by undertaking the whole support and
education up to the age of sixteen of every child who now works for
wages.
CHAPTER VI

• The factory girl’s code of honour is curiously like that of the school
boy. In no circumstances will she denounce a companion.
CHAPTER VII

• Christopher Morton, Jr., was looking through the morning mail in the office when
there came a knock at the door. He glanced at the clock and frowned. It was too early
for visitors by five minutes, and this vigilant young man of business was very careful
of his minutes.
