The report o; the Massachusetts
Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that
there are In the city of Bosten 1000
girls and women employed in occupa-
tions other than domestic service.
They constitute the class usually
known "a working girls. 1t is claim
ed that the personal history OF more
than 900 was secured by visits 10
their homes and that in this way
very reliable statement OF the moral,
physical, sanitary and economic CON
ditI"ns has been obtained. The aver
age age at which they began work was
seventeen, and the average aga of
those now employed is twenty-fi We.
Only about one fifth receive any va
cation, and very few of these draw
pay during the vacations. The aver
age wages while at work Is So, but
from various causes they lose on an
average ninc weeks i'm a year, so that
Tor the whole time the pay is about S.
per week. The report points out sew
eral ways in which thes lot OF these
hard working women is often made
unnecessarily buniensome, and
hahcS sHBBesliOHS 10 employers IOr
the alleyiation of these hardships.
Especial inquiry was made as 10 the
social and moral condition of the
working-women. AS this isa su hject
which mas been often discussed, it is
gratifying to note the encouraging
WAY In which the report speaks on this
subject. II says: 1.-The working
girls Of Boston are making an heroic,
an honeset and Il virtuous struggle to
earn an honorable livelihood, and
that it il rare that one of them can be

of integrity. We, of course, do not
wish to be understood as asserting
that the working girls are any better
than the same number of girls IN ahy
other calling, for The amount OF pri-
