PERSUASION OF RESPONSIBILITY
(By Florence Kelley.)

For five and twenty years the writ
er has striven for legislation to pro-
tect the wage earning women and
children in our rapidly developing
industries. ft's
Freedom of speech and press, the
right of publicmeetings and the right
to petition, all these nave been used
to- the uttermost.
L. The. statute books of many States
contain laws placed upon them BY
ceaseless effort covering a quarter Of
century. But what is the net re-
suit.
According to the latest report of
the Department of Education, the
per cent. of our population enrolled
IN our public schools has diminished
during the last five years. The cot
ton fields of the South call for the
black children, the cotton mills,
| wherever found, summon the white
children. In the middle states, the
sweatshops. of the great cities, the
glassWorks, and the Pennsylvania
mines absorb the boys and girls.
| Schools cost money, and boards of
education are composed chiefly of
Ou01ACoS mOuS mSA Od6S1 " hSSp
down the taxes and willing to have
children work.
| According to the census of the
United States there were, in 1900,
579,947 i1literate children between
the ages of 10 and IA years. Of
these, about $4,000 were in the
thirteen Southern states and about
10000 were scattered throughout
the other states.
1t may be mere coincidence, (but
an interesting one) that illiteracy
looms largest where women have
/ least. power. and grows less where
they vote. Of the twenty states
which have fewest illiterate children,
women vote in eighteen.
Not only is the per cent. of our
population enrolled in school dimin-
ishing, not only have we a half mills.
ion illiterate children, we have also
nearly two million children working
for their living. In this, we rank with
Russia, not with the enlightened
states of Western Europe.
These general facts concerning the
children and the. Republic are dis
heartening. WeNare not gaining up
I'll CA11O 1oOO4S u OPOAA NAA4o IL
literacy. These grave evils are gain
ing upon us. There are more illit-
crates, more child laborers, a small
er per cent. of the population upon
the rolls of our schools.
Why are these things true? First,
they are true because our industrial
system calls for cheap labor. And to
the employers, child labor seems
cheap.
Second, they are true because the
mothers, the teachers, the women it,
ted. by nature and training to guard.
the welfare of the children are pre-
vented by law from electing the OF
ficers who enforce the laws.
For instance, the laws of New YORK
are, lin some respects, the most dras :
ic and enlightened laws in the Re
public. But the magistrates in New
York City will not fine fathers who
break the child labor law, and tn =
compulsory education law. The head
of the city truancy department excus-
es his own incompetence, and the fu-
tility of his subordinates. by pointing
out the fact that the magistrates dis
miss the few offenders whom he
brings before him.

Today women Coutside the four

waiting for, Leaders? No They are
over-burdened with leaders now.
They are starting to educate them

thinking and they must think for
