The report. however, contains a hopeIul note in that labor legislation in the last ten years has made re- markable strides.
 Some definite idea" it continues, "of the breadth of protective labor Legislation during the recent years may be gained by an examination of the legislation in various states since 1908.
 We find that within this period the number of states prohibiting fgc- tory employment of children undol IA years of age has increased frl,n 30 to 41; the number requiring medi- cal examination or certificates of physical fitness from 8 to 36; and the number limiting hours of work for persons under 1G years old to eight hours a day, from 3 to 21.
 Changes just as striking are found in the provisions affecting women. Since 1908, the number of states pro hibiting night work for women ia- creased frori 3 to 6, the number limiting hours of work to ten day increased from b to 34, while two classes of laws not known in any state in }190S-7m -7minimum wage ana mothers pension laws-havc been

On the other hand, the propor- tion 9. years of age or over was great enough to suggcsy the need for vocational training for girls. The importance of married women among these wage earners is shown by the fact that of the 2 industries studied, only three were found in which the proportion of married woI en among these of 20 years uf age and over was under 10 per cent, and from this it runs up to two-fifths, and in one in dustry even to three-fifths.
 Among the families from which these wage earners come, the indus trial employment of girls is we'll nigh universal In four industries which were the subject of extensive study. it was found that in some a,00l families from S2 to 9S per cent of them had girls of this age earning wages.
