There are 10 children who work for two employments, say a dairy before school, and a grocer after school. One child, a boy of 11, was returned in November as working 49 hours in the week, namely, 6-8 a. M. For a dairy, 4-9 p. M. For a grocer, and on Saturdays from 8 a. M. Till 11 p. M. He is marked as " strong and intelligent, but very bad in some respects. " On inquiring about this boy in February, he was stated to have given up the work after school, and to work only the morning hours for the... dairy, and all day on Saturday. In this school the Headmaster states that some word of an inquiry had got about, and that the parents were withdrawing their children from work. As to the work in general, the dairy children work an hour or two before school, some as much as 2f hours. Some work an hour or so after school, and some even during the mid-day meal hour. The Saturday hours for these children are usually the same, and many work on Sunday too. The total of work for the week runs from six hours up to twenty-four hours for the most part, but there are a few among these children who work more, one of whom will be mentioned later.
