Pages are virtually pristine and intact except for light age toning and small occasional marks or stains. Covers are virtually pristine and intact except for slightly bumped corners, slight wear to head and tail of spine, and darkening along spine. A Near Fine copy. This book takes an unflinching approach at examining the numerous negative effects that childhood poverty and hunger and child labor have upon the well-being of children in the United States and Britain. Author John Spargo (1876-1966), a British-American political activist and writer, provides in-depth analyses and discussions about the subject. In his Preface, Spargo explains that he has tried to be as objective as possible and consulted other sources in writing this work. He also states, "Years of careful study and investigation have convinced me that the evils inflicted upon children by poverty are responsible for many of the worst features of that hideous phantasmagoria of hunger, disease, vice, crime, and despair which we call the Social Problem. I have tried to visualize some of the principal phases of the problem--the measure in which poverty is responsible for the excessive infantile disease and mortality; the tragedy and folly of attempting to educate the hungry, ill-fed school child; the terrible burdens borne by the working child in our modern industrial system. In the main the book is frankly based upon personal experience and observation. It is essentially a record of what I have myself felt and seen." One of the main subjects Spargo addresses in this book is the social vice of child labor. He argues that child labor has morphed from something wholesome and familial (such as parents teaching their children the skills of their trade) into an abusive and exploitative societal ill. He writes on Pages 129, "But with the coming of the machine age all this was changed. The craftsman was supplanted by the tireless, soulless machine. The child still worked, but in a great factory throbbing with the vibration of swift, intricate machines. In place of parental interest and affection there was the harsh, pitiless authority of an employer or his agent, looking, not to the child's well-being and skill as an artificer, but to the supplying of a great, ever widening market for cash gain." Titles of Contents in this book: "The Blighting of the Babies," "The School Child," "The Working Child," "Remedial Measures," and "Blossoms and Babies.".
