who leave are almost invariably the
children of the workers, who. as soon
as they reach working age, say from
ten to sixteen years. are thrown, i'm
mature, ill-trained and with no prac-
tical knowledge. into the complexities
of industrial life. What is the reason?
1t is simply this: The father, as the
head of the family. is not getting a
living wage to support the other mem
bers of the family, and hence as soon
as the children get to the working age
they are withdrawn from the schools, and
are hustled out into the mine. the mill,
the factory and the store, at the meager
sum Of from 81 a week up to 81 or SIS
to help to support the other members of
the family. A commission in the state
of New York Investigated wages and
working conditions. and found that 81 per

startling-nothins more por lees
than an ordinary course in stenog-
raphy at the North Carolina State
Normal College, at Greensboro. Her
first paid position was as assittsnt
to the professor under whom she
studied.
As her work with shorthand in
creased, she found herself being
drawn into constant contact with the

to do some studying outside to

nothing stopped her ambition to

Now she is the one whom all the
newspapers seek as the exponent Of
feminine legal lights. II a Judge has
handed down an unusual divorce de-

comment are much in demand.
Miss Pugh has won a certain
amount Of fame by her mannish
dress. She affects suits Of the plain

with four-in-hand ties during bust
