MASSACHUSETTS FACTORIES. Some time ago a
commissioner was appointed by Gov Bullock of
Massachusetts, to Investigate the condition Of the
factories in that State. After close examination
he reports that some of the mills are badly yenti.
lated; that young children work in them ia a state
Of deplorable ignorance at small wages, and that
in many cases even the parents oppose their edu.

partial remedy, fewer hours of labor reading

Young children in the factories.
