When the South African war broke
out the authorities had to reduce
that standard Of height breast meas
ure and weight in ordef to recruit the
army. In return for the sacrifice Of
the workers to the industrial molloch
the English got in reture men of infer
ferior physique who lacked the ough-
ness Of their forefathers. Men were
traded OF for money, if the industrial
system will do that for so hardy
race and reduce the standard, what
will it do for the children in a much
shorter period?
1t took England about 100 years to
degrade her men and women. It will
take less than half that time to do the
same thing in this country with the
children. The mark of the wreck is
already on their faces.
The internal sequel to business sue
cess is already walking our streets 1t
misguided or ignorant parents allow
their children to work and in some
cases lie about their age because they
want the money these child victims
earn, the state should find a way to
prevent the sacrifice. Industrial SUI
premacy on one hand and wages on
the other hand make too great a de-
mand on us when they ask that the
children of tender years be deprived of
childhood and normal conditio1s toa
develop into good, hardy candidates
for efficiency.
The enduring quality, the fighting
eoge, anc inc fneness of spirit that
combine to make good and useful
life cannot be securde by the children
who pass through the industrial hell
OF child labor.
When Pennsylvania raised the age
at which child could lawfully 80 into

to II years, she did big sthing. but
