Investigation of the child labor situa-
ton is leading to the discovery that
the employment of children in factories
IS due to their parents more than to
the manufacturers. The parents want
the money. The employment of many
girls in mercantile esta blishments at
insufficient wages is traced to the same
cource by committees looking into the
question of women's wages. Fathers
and mothers are also being blamed for
the presence of so many girls and boys
on the streets of the cities at night
Truly. the American parent is finding
