 The most careful and searching ex.
 animation ever published of the effects of poverty upon children. The author
 is a trained social investigator of wid, | experience here and abroad. The frs | three sections of his book treat respec | lively, the relation of poverty in al it's aspects to excessive infant mortal ity; the subject of underfed school chill l dren, which he has made his own by 1 extensive personal investigations ant l child labor. Experts declare this las
 section the most comprehensive and au | thoritative statement of the child labo,
 evil that has yet zen made. Finally l Mr. Spargo writes of remedial meas
 ures, and endeavors to outline con. l structive policy for dealing with tn, | evils of which he writes: formulating
 his proposals in the light of what ha.
 been actually accomplished in this anC
 other countries.
