A monograph by Arthur Sargent Field tracing the history of child labor legislation and policy in New Jersey from the early 1800s to 1910. It covers the early protection of child employees, the 1883 law, the limited public sentiment up to 1904, the stronger law of 1904 and later amendments, and the merits and defects of the present standard. Further chapters examine enforcement through factory inspectors, school attendance laws, politics and personnel, prosecutions, and the success of the policy, supported by statistical tables on children employed, discharged, and withdrawn from school. It includes textile industries (cotton, silk) among the occupations of working children, but contains no weaving content.
