Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Labor: The Addresses at the First Annual Meeting of the National Child Labor Committee, Held in New York City, February 14-16, 1905 There are many centenaries that have received attention of late; there is one that has been almost ignored, and yet it well deserved to be remembered. Two years ago a hundred years had elapsed since the first act was passed by the British Parliament to abate the evils of child labor. England industrially is the most advanced country in the world, and English economic history shows the good and evil sides of industrial civilization writ large. A momentary glance at the conditions which called forth the Factory Act of 1802 and the legislation that followed will serve as a useful introduction to our subject. Brie y, the facts were these.
