has recently been preparing some coored
clergymen from the south for missionary
wor k. Lately he Invited them to dine
with him. Toward the dinner hour the
reverend gentlemen wiited an hour in his
reception room for his guests, but none
came. At last he called his maid servant,
mentioning the matter to her and re-
marking that it was very strange that his
expected guests did not put in their ap-

drafting bills, sociologist and philan-
thropist are doing what they can to
protect these citizens unable to pro-
tect themselves.

enough on the statute books, but
who cares to use them?" When par

Not only is ii the children that are
harmed by this tendency to employ
the very young. but cheap labor
drives older and stronger workers ont
of the field. Every community where
the labor of children is extensively
made use of is marked by crowds of
idle, thriftless elders. Natural cen
ditions are reversed, the strong look
ing to the weak for support. The
children have no childhood, the men
no manhood.
Back in 1850. when the census of
that wear made known the fact that

10 and Is years were employed in
gainful occupations, easy-going Amer
leans began to wonder if. after all.
they better not follow in the steps of
certain English agitatorS. who moved
heaven and earth to get passed fac
tory and other acts dealing with the
system of child labor. But little was
accomplished at first in this COM
try, the demand for cheap labor in
creasing with time. Some time after
the census of 1850 a New York in
spector reported: "Year after year
we have seen the demand increase
for smaller and smaller children. until
il became veritable robbery of the
cradle to supply them"
In addition to the children who
earn wages outside. there are many
homes where the child is engaged in
"piece work" Mother and child Of
ten toll side by side, their long hours
of labor bringing them in scare the
scant necessities of life. In one home
