Some of Batise's illiterate neighbors. Location: Winchendon, Massachusetts.

Young girls working in American Woolen Mills, Winooski, Vt. Most are illiterate. Work slack and force small. (See also N.C.L.C. Photos #720-745 May 1909.) Location: Winooski, Vermont.

In this group are some of the youngest workers in Spinning Room of Cornell Mill. The smallest is Jo Benevidos, 5 Merion St. Other small ones are: John Sousa, 84 Boutwell St., Anthony Valentin, 203 Pitman St. Manuel Perry, 124 Everett St. John Travaresm [or Taveresm?], 90 Cash St. The difficulty they had in writing their names was pathetic. When I asked the second hand in charge of the room to let the boys go outside a moment and let me get a snap-shot he objected, saying they would stay out and not be in shape to work. When they carry dinners, they breathe the close air of the spinning room from 7 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. with no let-up. Cornell Mill. Location: Fall River, Massachusetts.

Carl Harden, doffer in Tupelo (Miss.) Cotton Mills. Said he was fourteen, but I doubt it. Couldn't write his own name. Been working in different mills about one year. Location: Tupelo, Mississippi

[The Georgia Negro] Illiteracy. - Exposition Universelle Internationale de 1900, Paris

Sunday morning at Lynchburg Cotton Mill (Virginia) Ed Tolley, the smallest, said 15 years old, but that is very doubtful. Others in these three photos, Lucien Tolley, Herbert Aultico, Henry Daly, John Crawley. (See my report for addresses.) Most of these boys could not spell own name. All claimed to be over 14, but their disputes showed "These's a reason." They get from three to four dollars a week and some pay board. One said, "I get all over $2.60." Some were surely under twelve. All work. Lindsey Witt has been working there 2 years. Dewey Anderson, three years. M[y]ron Cole, some time. Location: Lynchburg, Virginia.
