account of a lack of proper parental
control. This factory was situated in Il.
slum area where most of the boys were
drawn from the poorest homes. Although
earning good war wages, few of them
had room or even bed to them
selves. Most of them slept two or three
in bed and four or six in room, and
they spent their evenings at cinema shows
or In the streets.
The result was that they came to work
in the morning tired and unfit. The same
investigator reports on the boys in a fac
tory in a neighboring town where the
boys were drawn from a better CLASS
Here, he says, although the hours were
long and the wages by no means high,

found that the younger boys do not stand

that as far as possible the hours OF the
