F you go to the eight factory girls I who have just completed their first week of echooling in Public} School No. 4, Rivington and Ridge! streets, in a search for date on the problem of the working girl, the imum wage, the temptations, the fn- numeradie hardships and deprivations of the factory girl, you had better take a microscope along with you. None of the hardships are visible to the naked eye. In fact if you could translate the happy, tranquil expres- sions in the girls’ faces into idio- matic and elegant English, it would read: “We should worry and fail in our geography lesson!” Something of a jump that—from sewing sleeves on night dresses and manufacturing what Robert W. Chambers calls “the intimate cloth- ing”—to a study of the topographical pecularities of South America. But/| since four of the white goods manu- facturers have turned philanthro- Bists and decided that their em- ployees must have a liberal education at their (the employers’) expense, one has lost the power to be sur- prised at anything. ‘The girls are sent by the firms of D. E. Sicber & Co, The Wolf Co,, M. Martin & Co. and A. 8. Iserson & Co., all manufacturers of muslin gar ments. Next week eight new girle from the same firms will be sent to school while the Grst eight will come back and do their turn at the factory. After that the two groups will alter- Bate, one group of eight always at the factory and the other group at the school.
