Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the working and home lives of children who sold newspapers and other goods on the streets of Connecticut in the early 1920s. The author analyzes data collected from questionnaires filled out by children in grammar school who worked on the streets. The book finds that while many of the children were contributing their earnings to help support their families, many were not. Instead, the author argues that the children's work primarily reflected their families' experience as immigrants and their need to supplement the father's income. The book also finds that the children who worked on the streets were more likely to be behind in their schoolwork and have lower grades than those who did not work on the streets. This, the author argues, is due to the long hours and low pay of the children's jobs. This book is a valuable contribution to the history of child labor in the United States. It provides a detailed look at the lives of children who worked on the streets of Connecticut, and it sheds light on the relationship between child labor, education, and family life.
