eation. So
powerful are the facts presented that the very simplicity of their
narration rouses the reader to the desperate need of safeguarding the girl
workers in our cities against exhausting mental and physical
demands."--_Continent._

"The point of view of the book is constructive throughout, and it is safe
to say that it will be for a long time, both for the practical worker and
for the scientific student, the authoritative work in this
field."--_Detroit News._

"It is a recital of facts that makes one's heart and soul shrink up and
grow small for pity and helplessness to help."--_Lexington Herald._

This interesting volume has grown out of the author's experience in
philanthropic work in Chicago and New York, and her service for the State

circumstances of the poorer classes, and conditions in various trades.

The value of the work lies in information gathered at close range in a
long association with, and effort to improve the condition of, the very
poor.

The author is not only a lawyer of large experience in Chicago, but has
served that city, the State of Illinois, and the Federal Government in
many investigations of conditions among various trades, and in reference
to the circumstances of the poorer classes.

Among the topics here treated are:

The Right to Childhood.
Interpretations of the Right to Leisure.
The Right of Women to the Ballot.
The Rights of Purchasers and the Courts.
