Practical Work of N. o. Nelson in
Bel alf of the
CHILD ToILERS OF ST. LOUIS.
Wealthy Man Putting His Money
to Good Use Educating the
Poor Children.

Here is case of man of wealth
putting his money to good use, and
he deserves a medal for his contri.
button to education and his most
emphatic protest against one of the
most abominable features of our
industrial conditions-child labor.
1t is reported that proposition
to take all children under Ia wears
Of age from factories and send them
to school has been made by N. O.
Nelson, millionaire manufacturer
of st. Louis, to the women's clubs
of that city. Mr.. Nelson is to paw
the children half the amount they
would receive for their work and
the clubs the other half The clubs
have the matter under consider
alton. They have promised to
give Mr.. Nelson an answer after
their January meetings. Pend
ing the decision of the womeh' g
clubs, Mr.. Nelson has undertaken
to do the work himself. During
the last two months he has investi-
gated every application to the
truant officer for permits for child
ACh uiiucl dSc 10 "OTk Ill factories.
lie has found seven worthy cases.
Each week these children call at
MIR. Nelson's Office and receive the
money they would have been paid
for working-an average of about
SO week. Mr.. Nelson has caused
them to be sent back to school.
1t would be grand thing if Mr.,
Nelson could interest Il hundred or
two other millionaires with him in
this splendid work, for they could
adopt no more worthy means of show
ing their often boastcd munificence
than by investing their surplus
capital In way that would con
duce to a better manhood and
woman in this country.
Let us hope that this re-
port is true and that it will lead to
country wide spread movement
which will eventually prove a
strong factor in eliminating the
awful physical and mental condi.
t1ons consequent upon child labor.

The Times Have Changed.

Opie Reed once told us that in
the beginning of his work he usu.
ally travelled as long as his money
lasted and then stopped and started
up newspaper. This was a mum.
Der of years ago, and times have
changed wonderfully since then.
Considering the number of news
papers that have suspended publ
cation recently, one would be led
to believe that Opie's rule had been
reversed, and that a fellow now
runs the paper as long as the money
lasts and then travels.
