City life instead of rural life, life in tenements and flats instead of in houses, together with the increase Of wealth, have combined to deprive great numbers of children of these opportunities for industrial activity which were inseparable from life on the farm. Well-to-do people are everywhere lamenting that there is nothing for their children to do. The children are always receiving and never giving. Food, clothing, shelter, education, amusement, - all come to them as freely as the air and the sunshine. The effects of these changes repeatedly brought to the attention of the commission are not most serious where we might naturally expect, in a lack of manual efficiency, though that is marked, but on the intellectual and moral side. There is a one-sided sense Of values, a one - Sided view of life and a wrong attitude toward labor. Not having any share in productive labor, and being out of touch with it, the youth have no standards by which to measure time or possessions or pleasures in terms of cost. Many persons believe that about this point center some Of the gravest present - day social problems. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
