ciety is menaaed by a system in indus

into idleness. dissolves the home in its
constituent parts and lays on each
member the struggle for existence.
II is a glory of our modern industry
that it ever tends TO lift the heavier
burdens from human shoulders, laying
them upon shoulders of iron and steel.
But this tendency is not all glory. Ii
also explains the everincreasing de
mand for child labor. The ignorant
the weak, the inefficient, the little
children, can often prohtably replace
the stalwart man, and the wife and
child enter the factory, not always to
assist the father to earn a livelihood,
but oftener TO compete with him. and
drag his wages down. This reyolu-
tion in the problem of earning
tends TO reduce individual wages from
an amount sufficient to maintain a
family as the unit in society to an
amount sufficient Only to maintain an
individual as the unit Thus we are
developing that exaggerated indiyid-
ualism which destroys even the nutu-
