THE CHILDREN'S BUREAU--PUBLICATIONS gggff

Children In Street Work Children's Bureau 1928 This is probably one of the most important publications ever issued by the Children's Bureau. It is nothing less than a thorough documentation of the realities of one promminent type of child labor during the Progressive Era and on into the New Deal--street work by children. This research study documents the types of work done by children in street employment (as opposed to factories or mines or in homes or other type of familiar venues employing children during this era). The Introduction is especially valuable as it is a detailed summary of the main research presented in the book.
