For months have been trying to do bit of detective

Indiana, it was found that of $500 employed
young men, up to "a years of age, 43 per cent

fourth of $500 worked without pay.
Statistics like these might be multiplied.

One reason this young man had to get job
was because he had an obligation to pay off.
His parents had sacrificed to send him to
school, He regarded their help as debt "a

sense of responsibility appears to be some
thing which neither lower wages nor govern
