This belief must always be the foundation stone of all successful efforts against evil in this world, and it is nowhere more needed than in just the work we are trying to do here." <br />"The great motive of all our efforts is to reform the transgressor, not to punish."<br /><br />p. 18 "We offer them first of all a cheerful, comfortable and refined home, and bring them under the influence of kind and judicious matrons....Here are combined the influences of a home, a school, a church--the three great forces of changing character."<br /><br />p. 20 "During their sewing hours, and often in the evening, the matrons read aloud to the girls from books which are received from the Pulic Library Deposit Station--fifty books of suitable reading matter being left at a time, that the girls may be supplied with desirable books which they can read during their leisure hours."<br /><br />pp. 20-21 "To secure the best results, it is considered necessary for the girls to remain with us at least two years and then, unless relatives or friends have provided for them they are not allowed to leave our home until desirable situations are found for them where they can still be under our watchful care."

Here in Massachusetts [Massachusetts Child Labor Committee pamphlet]
Description
An account of the resource
Here in Massachusetts: A fund raising pamphlet issued by the Massachusetts Child Labor Committee to promote regulation of working conditions and employment for children. The pamphlet cites statistics on child labor and industrial accidents and argues that work detracts from education, offers no real future benefits, and impairs health.<br /><br />The first page shows a photograph of a boy with the caption “Worth a Chance? How Much is That Chance Worth to You!”<br /><br />The pamphlet includes a word puzzle, “An Old Problem and a New Year.: the Corner Stones of a Square Deal” The puzzle identifies play, work, health, and school as rights of childhood.

Title
A name given to the resource
Little Wanderers’ Advocate.
Description
An account of the resource
The first 16 pages of this item describe the origin, mission statement, constitution, and founding board members of the Union Mission and Home for Little Wanderers. <br /><br />Union Mission & Home for Little Wanderers formed by ten Boston businessmen to care for children orphaned by the Civil War. They were inspired by the Howard Mission of New York. <br /><br /><em>The Little Wanderers' Advocate </em><br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />p.3 "One Word to the Widowed Mother.<br />Do not send your child to the poor-house. We will take and provide a good home for it. You may know where it is placed and be at liberty to write to it or visit it at proper times. We shall deal with your child as if it were our own." <br /><br />p.5 "What we Propose to Do. <br />Take every child of sorrow, of every age, and feed, clothe, instruct, and thus prepare them for homes, where they shall enjoy all the influences of good society, and thus grow up to become useful men and women. <br />In almost every instance we can place a boy into a home where they have no boy, and a girl where they have no girl. <br />Can we do this? <br />For several years past we have been taking children to homes. We have committees over the West, and in the New England and other States, and receive applications for more children than we can possibly furnish. <br />Conditions: We bind no child to any person; there is no slavery in the matter, all is voluntary between the child and the one who takes it, we reserving the right to remove any child who is not properly treated."<br /><br />p.7 "Soldiers' Children<br />The children of those noble men who have fallen during this unholy rebellion, shall be the objects of peculiar care. They shall be doubly welcome. We owe them a debt that the kindest treatment can never pay. They are not in the strict sense of the word objects of charity, but they have claims upon the public that demand our noblest response. Come to the Union Mission and Home for the Little Wanderers, and what we can do to place you in situations where all that society, friendship and love can do for you will be done. And when the Stars and Stripes shall again wave over this entire land, a grateful people will remember that it was the blood of your fathers that puchased liberty to all, the price of our natonal redemption."

Description
An account of the resource
The Society for the Entertainment of Shut-Ins (SESI) was founded in 1901 by the Rev. George W. Shinn, D. D. in Boston, Massachusetts. <a href="https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Shinn%2C+George+W.+%28George+Wolfe%29%2C+1839-1910%22" target="_blank" title="books by the Rev. G. W. Shinn on Internet Archive" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shinn</a> was the rector of <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/fFVBeVbA8d22" target="_blank" title="Grace Episcopal Church, Google Maps" rel="noreferrer noopener">Grace Episcopal Church</a>, Newton, Ma. <br /><br />According to these documents, the Society aimed “to relive the monotony and pain of a shut-in life…Its original plan included giving entertainments in hospitals and other institutions…the present work is chiefly among isolated invalids, and almost entirely with chronic sufferers, 'whom the Lord has shut in.'” <br /><br />Excerpts: <br />p. 4 "Many invalids would be glad to dispose of their handiwork and orders for needle work of all kinds, paper flowers, painting, etc., can be filled. It would be a great help if some of the members of the society would undertake a sale of this work, thus helping the Shut-Ins to help themselves." <br /><br />p. 8 "In January, 1907, this Society became affiliated with the Shut-In Society, and a number of invalids were made members of the larger organization, whose scope is world-wide but whose mission of cheer is largely carried on by correspondence, and which as a society does not give any material assistance. From the first the two have worked in harmony although not officially connected."

An account of the resource
A brief historical overview of the relationship between unionism and working women in Boston. This approach attempts to identify the causes for the wage and employment disparities of working women in comparison to working men, and therefore suggesting this inequality as the central reason for Boston’s working women link with unionism. <br /><br />Additionally, the booklet touches upon a handful of various labor unions organized exclusively by working women that lived and operated within the city of Boston during the turn of the century. <br /><br />These three pages represent an excerpt of a larger work.
