POOR AIR AFFECTS HEALTH

Dear Aunt Laurie:
/ think children should not labor 1t
is wrong to send small children to the
factories as they do in New York and
other large cities. 1t spoils their health
in the close rooms with many people
in them. They do not get enough air,
and breathing foul air makes impure
blood, which means poor health.
Most of them live in the tenement
districts and cannot get very much
fresh air at home. They usually have
parents that are not very good people
and make the children earn the living
l have read many articles on child
labor, and l think they ought to make
rule not allowing the factories to
employ children. From 80 to 40 per
cent of the children work in factories.
There are many of them foreigners,
coming here and going to live in the
tenements. The children will work
cheaper than adults. / think they are
much like slaves, as they are not al
lowed to speak if spoken to or any
other may while working. Many Of
them are so small that they have to
stand on boxes and old chairs to reach
their work. They assort the yarns and
braid them. Not all the children work.
ing are employed in factories. Some
are messenger boys, office boys and
such. OF course the factory life is
hardest and unhealthiest.

talent is lost in entering work before
ones choice is formed.
Because juvenile labor is cheap eff
ficient men must work at low wages to
compete. Each working child is cog
in the great trust wheel. Since the
Youngsters are ignorant and clumsy at
their work poor products are manufac-
tured, bringing loss and even danger
to merchant and consumer.
But above all, girls and boys very
souls become sordid rubbing elbows
with the world. Home influence is
lost. education and religion neglected
and conscience forgotten in the lust for
gain. These things would be avoided
if the child went into the world with
pure ideals taken from childhood at
home.
Where would the race be if each
generation became weaker physically?
That would happen if children left the
air and sunlight to drag through filthy
factories and strain their growing
muscles with impossible tasks. I'm
sanitary conditions in the fields OF
labor are allowed because children don t
compain.
Summing up the effects of child labor
we have greedy, dishonest corporations,
poor products, low morals in laborers
and employees, weak constitutions, loss
of talent, low wages and consequently
misery of the poorer classes and un-
safe. unsanitary working conditions.
Therefore l say no child under 16
should labor at more than the natural
tasks of happy childhood.

honorable Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The topic for this week is "Should
Children Lobor?" If that question
should be asked of me l should answer
it emphatically, mol"
1t is the business of every state to
see to 1t that the development of the
child as a future citizen is not imper-
lied by making children work at too
early an age. We cannot rob children
of their play without at some time
paying the penalty. When children are
robbed of playtime they too often re-
assert their right to 1t in manhood, as
Vagabonds and criminals. Today we
have a compulsory education and
factory law prohibiting the employ
ment of young children. The laws are
different in different states, but the
youngest that they are allowed to
work in any state is IL years. think
that this is too young an age.
OF course | do not mean to say that
children should not work at all; but
what I have in mind in speaking OF
child labor is the regular employment
of children in factories, which undOubt-
edly brings ruin to the child himself,
as well as to our civilization.
Child labor Is new evil. IL was
brought into existence by the factory
system, and it can and ought to be
Think of a child being deprived of
going to school and sent to factory
TO work! What does this mean to the
individual and to the nation? To the
child it means that he is to be weak
ened morally as well as physically He
is weakened morally, because by
working he cannot study and learn
as il he were going to school; physical
ly because he must breathe those ter
rible odors of gases, smoke, etc., In the
factories.
Now, let us see what this means to
the nation. 1t means that there will
be that many less good citizens, and
that many more criminals. In plain
words, child labor means to the nation
the decline and destruction of our
American civilization and good gov
ernment. For are not our boys of the
present TO be our citizens of the fu-
ture?
Therefore let us protect the children
of today that they may be of use and
service to our nation in later years to
come. CLAUDINA PESQUEIRA.

FACTORY WORK INJURIOUS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
'Should Children Labor is a very
important question. All children must
have certain amount of time for play.
Children also should be made do lit
- home work, but they should not be
allowed TO go to factories to wear their
souls. brains and life out in the con-
tinual drudge, drudge of the factory.
A child, IL sent to the factory while
in childhood loses all life and spirit.
They don't have time for the play
they should have.
A child, If ii must labor, should be
given work which would give IL
some time for rest and plenty of fresh
air and sunshine. Agriculture is the
best labor for child. This work gives
exercise, pplenty of air and sunshine,
and yet serves the purpose in the ques-
tion of money.
II children are made to work I'm fac
tories while young. it spoils them for
their future life and happiness. When
they are in the factory they have bad
lights and consequently, when they
grow older, bad eyes; they have no
good air, which is the cause of bad
lungs; then again the dust. threads,
metals and all sorts of unhealthy
things are taken into the body while
working and this helps to make the
future as well as the present life more
miserable.
When going into factory you shor-
ten your life just few years: you cut
out your chances for a good education
and then you miss chances of having
a good business in later years.
As l said at the beginning, there Is
nothing so good in this world as a
little work of some kind for every
child. 1t will teach them how to do
work and so start them out in the
world. HELEN MACE.

LABOR IN MODERATION
is NOT INJURIOUS
(HonorabIe Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
"Should children labor?" My answer
is, eyes. to a certain extent" A little
work will not hurt any one. and if
children are not trained to work when
they are small, when can they be
trained?
Child labor employment in factories.
where there is heavy lifting to do. is
altogether a different thing These
greedy "big interests" who control the
factories do not bother themselves
about righteousness. They hire chill
dren because it is cheaper and force
them to do hard work which should
require man. This is where the
wrong side of child labor comes in. The
government should take steps at once
to stop this existing wrong.
Such great men as Lincoln and Gar
field worked when they were boys.
They were born of poor parents and
had to work on the farm with their
fathers to help earn the daily bread.
They couldn't go to school very often,
as there were very few schools in those
days But during every spare minute
they studied and striyed hard to get
an education. And they had to work
for it themselves; there was no ex-
perienced teacher standing by them to
answer questions as we children have
nowadays. And yet they were none
the worse for working for as a result
they attained the highest position in
the land, the chief executive of the
United States.
A little work on the part of children
is no more than right, and it makes
them more considerate of others
rights. ARTHUR MOBILES.

INFLUENCE is INJURIOUS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
In thickiy populated city there are
generally at least two classes of girls.
The first class is the rich class. These
girls have nothing whatever to do in
the way of work and become indolent.
The only thing they do is to enjoy
many pleasures, such as theater going,
for themselves.
The other class / have in mind is the
class composed of people who lead a
directly opposite life. They live in
slums and never know what real plea
sure it. They are generally found in
factories from morning till night, day
in, day out They are sick and un-
dersized because their lungs are filled
with the dust and lint of the factory.
The rooms in the factory are poorly
