  • Children sometimes worked up to 19 hours a day, with a one-hour total break
  • Many accidents occurred injuring or killing children on the job.
  • Children were paid only a fraction of what an adult would get, and sometimes factory owners would get away with paying them nothing.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • The factory owners justified their absence of payroll by saying that they gave the orphans food, shelter, and clothing, all of which were far below par
  • The people who the children served would beat them, verbally abuse them, and take no consideration for their safety
  • were subject to beatings and other harsh forms of pain infliction
  • he children were to attend school for no less than two hours during the day.
  • Boys were sometimes dragged naked from their beds and sent to the factories only holding their clothes
  • Factory owners loved child labor, and they supported their reasoning with ideas that it was good for everything from the economy to the building of the children's characters
  • The first step to improving conditions was in 1833 with the Factory Act passed by Parliament
  • overseer would tie a heavy weight to worker's neck, and have them walk up and down the factory aisles so the other children could see them and "take example." This could last up to an hour.
  • said the government would appoint officials to make sure the act was carried out and complied with
  • In rural areas, children would have worked long hours with hard work for their families farms, but in the cities, the children worked longer hours with harder work for large companies. Harsher treatment, fewer rewards and more sickness and injury came from poorly regulated child labor.

  • Religion, especially the Christian religion, has condemned woman to the life of an inferior, a slave. It has thwarted her nature and fettered her soul, yet the Christian religion has no greater supporter, none more devout, than woman. Indeed, it is safe to say that religion would have long ceased to be a factor in the lives of the people, if it were not for the support it receives from woman. The most ardent churchworkers, the most tireless missionaries the world over, are women, always sacrificing on the altar of the gods that have chained her spirit and enslaved her body.
