To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Shallow writes, " Would that someone might point out the way to me, to make all these people understand ordinary English directions!" 114 Besides making clear the shortcomings of the teaching forces in carrying out the provisions of the law, Mr. Shallow shows in his correspondence the continued failure of the newsboys' law, commended so highly in 1903 by Jacob Riis. As late as 1909 he reported a case in which certain newsboys had been arrested for violating this law and had entered pleas of gui...lty. The magistrate accepted the pleas, promptly suspended sentences, and criticized the officer in the presence of the boys, saying he had no right to make the arrests. 115 In another letter, reporting the difficulties in handling these cases, Mr. Shallow noted that he had but four men for this particular service, and these were obliged to work in pairs, " because when a man working alone attempts to arrest a persistent violator, he is usually surrounded by a mob and in more than one instance, the boy has been taken away from the officer by the unruly crowd/' 116 The situation in this unsettled period was still further com- plicated by the lack of cooperation between the school and labor officials.
