of the war she was not able to go home
TO her domestic work because the nus
band and the brother returned, in
many, many instances, MANNED and
unable 10 work.
The beginning OF child labor. as
started in Rhode Island, was when
mothers came 10 work and had no
place TO put their children; there were
no day nurseries as there should be
now for every industrial woman, So
she brought her children TO work with
her The child's play was changed into
labor by the performance of small du-
ties that later became larger.
Three things, a womanS religious life,
her educational life and her industrial
life are those which are considered as

The prohibitory laws in Europe as
brought 10 prominence through the raw
ages OF war are being settled by many
nations They realize the grave necessi-
