A Science Question

n II is thought that in space

ness prevail. What, then,
is the explanation of the fact that
both light and heat from the sun,
some 9O,0OOO.OO0 miles away, in
cold space, reach the eArth7
A. Heat and light as such DO
not reach the earth from our own
and 1o0,o00,00o more suns. Ra-
diant energy is transmitted by
fluctuations or waves in electrons,
which energy is in the form OF
waves OF varying lengths and am
plitudes. When some of these
energy impulses impinge on mat
ter able to receive and appropri-
ate them. heat and light result.
Many molecules in many thou
sands OF kind OF matter are able
TO translate energy waves into
heat while others are translated
as light on the retina OF the eye
and in the brain. But no heat
or light develops until the waves
strike forms Of matter fitted to
receive, appropriate and trans
late. Thus energy will pass
through a burning glass" made
OF ice, converge to a focus. and
act light objects on fire.

But Robert Collyer escaped the
common fate of child laborer.
In 1850, when about 25 years of
age, he and his bride reached the
bright shores OF this Land of OPP
portunity. 1t was a land of OPP
portunity then.
No child labor to speak OF, as 1t
was then known in England, as
it is known here to-day. No pow
erty such as England was then
beginning to struggle with, such
as we now see in our larger cities.
A half century has passed since
Robert Collyer landed. We have
recruited standing army of
child laborers 100000 strong.
1t is quite impossible to visual
ize this appalling number of lit
tie tots at labor, but as Robert
Hunter says: I'VE could never
forget the sight of hundred of
these little ones If they were
marched out OF the mills, mines
and factories before our eyes, or
If we saw them together toiling
for ten or twelve hours a day or
night for pittance of wage;
but that we do not see. What we
see are the figures, and we forget
dgures.
IN New York City alone we
have the records of many thou
sands of families receiving char
ity, public and private
Undoubtedly a very large pro-
portion Of these families are de-
pendent chiefly because of child

WE have in America 1,700,-
w 900 CHILD LABORERS.
Those are the appalling
figures.
In 1850 Robert Collyer, who had
been an orphan boy in England
and child laborer, escaped from
his servitude and came to Amer
lea, He was then a stalwart
youth, man grown, for he had es-
capped in time to save his Vitality.
Joseph Kingsbury, General
Agent for Improving the Condi-
ton Of the Poor, says:
England is VIGOROUSLY a land
OF paupers. A third of It's last
generation lies at rest in potter's
field In the life histories of these
poor wretches could be traced,
how many of them would lead
back to the poor little tired bod
les, to the crookedlimbs OF the Rob
ert Collyers who were dragged
out from the barren walls of or
phan asylums to be bound to the
racking machines in the factories
and mills-the Collyers who never
escaped? The question can not
be answered We haven't the fig
ures. But who will doubt that
they would be most illuminating
II they could be obtained? II
we could show accurately the ex-
tent OF the poverty under which
England staggers to- day, which is
the result of child labor, the sta
tistics would be invaluable to us
in securing proper child labor leg
islation, But, after all, as some
one has strikingly put 1t, You

labor. Last year eleven thousand
families we're under the care of
the Association for Improving the
Condition of the Poor. This Is
but one of the large private char
table organizations in that city"
Again Mr.. King says: 81 per-
sonally have looked over the his
tories of many of these families,
and can assure you 1t Is difficult
to find single case in which the
father or the mother, and usu-
ally both, did not go to work at
an early age"
Here is what one investigator
says about a certain mill:
The machinery in the mill
starts at $50 every morning, and
pressure is brought to bear upon
the workers to see that they are
there when the machinery begins.
The time Is counted from o'clock
only. A half hour Is counted out
at dinner time, but the maChin-
cry goes right on, and many Of
the workers stay. The shop closes
at $50, after it has been running
twelve hours.
AT o'clock 1t begins again,
and works till 9. This Is con-
tinued for five nights of the week,
and any of the workers who will
return are permitted to work. Mr..
Massey told me there were no vio-
lations of the law in his mill. He
seemed to think an emergency
gave him the right to work seven
ty-five hours per week. In reality
he was working eighty hours, for
many of the people worked IF
teen hours for five days and five
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-11-29

hours on Saturday. He said he
believed child labor morally
wrong and uneconomical."
Is it not time that the intelli-
gent and humane hearted people
of America combined in one great
body of PROTEST?
If every woman, and every
churchman, of no matter what
creed or belief, should unite in
one vast organization and march
through the land, demanding the
adjustment of child labor 1T
WOULD HAVE TO COME!
If such an organization would
form and fix upon certain half
hour of every day for united
prayer, asking the Unseed Forces
of the Universe to give them pow
er to abolish Child Labor, 1T
WOULD COME!
Remember what came when the
people OF France COMBINED IN
ONE TREMENDOUS PRO-
TEST!
There is land enough and mon
ey enough in our vast, opulent
country to give homes and COM
fort to every adult human being,
and TO give sun and air and free
dom to every child.
If we want to save our land
from certain destruction and our
rising generation from poverty,
sickness and despair, we must
rescue our little children and
send them out to play.
Let our churches and our hu-
name organizations begin a united
campaign of Protest against Child
Labor.
