NURSERY RHYMES FOR CHILD
WORKERS.

The Child Welfare Committee
struck an original note in it's recent
New York exhibition in aid of the
young. The committee touched the
hearts and consciences of visitors by
illustrated rhymes on the walls, indie
alive Of the kind of little folk who
work at home under sweatshop condi-
tons. The verses effectively supple
mented the familiar photographs of
the Consumers League, showing a
host of children of kindergarten age in
the act of making artificial flowers,
and a baby of four pulling hastings
from mems clothes. Here is one of
these catchy little revised affairs:
Hickety! Pickety! My small men!
Making up coats for the gentlemen.
And gentlemen flourish on every fine

They gather our goods, but We don't
get the pay.
