So it came about 189 I go THE NEXT GENERATION that when mill owners needed more helpers, they went to the poorhouse for them. And when the order came, the caretakers of the place packed the children into wagons or canal boats and sent them off to be inspected. Having arrived, these children were put into cellars, — dark, damp, unwholesome, — and there the mill men came with lighted lanterns to examine them. Height, weight, size, and shape were taken into account, " and the bargain was struck." ...It was really a purchase of children by the wagon load from their poorhouse guardians. Very little money was paid for these loads of small workers, but at least, henceforth, the poorhouse itself would not have to support them. As for wages, they received none whatever. They worked " sixteen hours at a stretch by day and by night. They slept by turns and relays in beds that were never allowed to cool, one set being sent to bed as soon as the others had gone to their toil." Robert Blincoe describes his own experiences.
