The Virginia K. Johnson Home. A House of Refuge for Unmarried Mothers under twenty-one years old. A large proportion of the girls here came from the farms, their lives stunted by the monotonous work of cotton picking, many of them beginning at five and six years old. Surely this must be counted one of the by-products of such deadening work. See Hine report on Texas Child Labor.  Location: Dallas, Texas.

[9 year old cash girl in Gafer Department store. At first glance the home conditions with a one-armed father and several children in the family would indicate that her small wages were needed, but when we found that the father is able to do certain kinds of work, and that they have relatives who are well-to-do, there was no doubt that the family could get along without her working. In almost all the cases investigated, the need for the child's earning was very small.]  Location: [Mobile, Alabama]

Serbian girls walk and knit. Peasant girls in Serbia improve each shining hour by knitting on their way to market. In this way not a moment is lost in their hard working lives. Most of the wool that they use is carded by them and made into stockings and various warm things for the cold winter. Serbian women are industerious sic and not only accomplish all the domestic tasks usually alloted to their sex but perform much of the hardest labor of the fields and farms. Thousands of young girls in this war ravaged country are idly drifting into womanhood because they are without fathers or mothers or homes. If the Junior Red Cross of America carries on with its plans of instituting industrial and vocational training school centers in different parts of Serbia it will mean that these helpless war victims will have within their reach means of becoming skilled in some useful occupation that will assure their future independence
