  • Th E Campaign Against Child Labor and the Rise of the Birth Certificate
    “Age Ought to Be a Fact”: T e Campaign against Child Labor and the Rise of the Birth Certifi cate Susan J. Pearson In 1898, two decades after it had passed its f rst law restricting the employment of chil- Downloaded from dren, the state of Wisconsin still found it dif cult to enforce its child labor laws. Although these laws used age as the basis of legal employment, children’s ages were nearly impos- sible for of cials to determine. T e problem, the state’s commissioner of labor explained, was twofold. First, he alleged, parents lied about children’s ages. Second, this deception was made possible by Wisconsin’s “notable lack of reliable or complete birth records.” http://jah.oxfordjournals.org/ Unable to rely on any of cial documentation of children’s ages, state factory inspectors were forced to accept parental af davits of age. And this testimony-based system gave rise to widespread duplicity. “Cases have even been met with,” the commissioner complained, “where parents . have changed the records of their [children’s] ages in the family Bible and other places.” His complaints were typical: wherever states relied on parental af da- vits of age, child labor reformers and state factory inspectors complained that children’s ages were misrepresented, even when af davits were notarized.1 Child labor reformers were not alone in worrying about how to determine children’s by guest on March 11, 2015 ages. A host of Progressive Era reforms restricted access to rights and protections by chronological age: reforms ranging from compulsory schooling and the juvenile court to age of consent and eligibility for benef ts under workmen’s compensation and mother’s pension programs.

  • Hull House Living Democracy in the Progressive Era
    PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING IN SOCIAL STUDIES OR LANGUAGE ARTS Hull House Living Democracy in the Progressive Era Resource Book Compiled by Shelagh A. Gallagher Royal Fireworks Press Unionville, New York Writings of Hull House Residents Selections in this section are written by the women who lived and worked at Hull House: Jane Addams, Ellen Gates Starr, Florence Kelley, Alice Hamilton, and Julia Lathrop. Each woman influenced not only the impoverished neighborhood, but also state and national policies. The articles in this section address each of the proposals introduced to students during Problem Engagement. Three of the segments come from Hull House Maps and Papers, the seminal census of Chicago’s 19th district, a landmark in social science research. Students study the maps from that work during Inquiry and Investigation. Other articles are retrospective but refer back to problems encountered in the neighborhood at the time. Most of the articles have been edited to keep them a reasonable length for the middle school-aged child. Some articles offer opportunity for additional analysis, especially the article by Julia Lathrop, which includes statistics related to juvenile incarceration. Students should not be required to read all of the passages. Rather, students should share responsibilities for finding information about different aspects of the problem, read the articles relevant to the question they are pursuing, and then share what they find with each other. 13 Hull House Resource Book Excerpt from First Days at Hull House by Jane Addams …Our first guest was an interesting young woman who lived in a neighboring tenement, whose widowed mother aided her in the support of the family by scrubbing a downtown theater every night.

  • 1 Teaching LGBTQ History and Heritage Leila J. Rupp LGBTQ
    1 Teaching LGBTQ History and Heritage Leila J. Rupp LGBTQ Heritage Initiative: Theme Study Chapter Imagine a world in which students could visit not just Civil War battlefields that raise the profound issues of slavery and what it means for states to be united, but also buildings that housed places that came to feel like home to people marginalized because of sexuality and gender, places that were important enough to defend against onslaughts by the police. That is the possibility that teaching the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) past through historic sites offers. The houses where famous and less known lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people lived, the commercial establishments they patronized and defended, and even places that mark a history of discrimination and violence offer the opportunity to make LGBTQ history a part of US history in a way that makes a difference for students, wherever they are learning history. A more inclusive history certainly matters to LGBTQ students, who suffer not just from bullying and other forms of discrimination but also from being deprived of a past. Many years ago, I was teaching an introductory US history course when I ran into a student from the class who was working in the local gay restaurant. He told me that he had never heard of Stonewall until I talked about it in a lecture on social movement of the 1960s. He was so excited to hear a mention of the gay past in a history class that he told his roommate about it. He also came out, since they had never discussed their sexual identities, and then the roommate came out to him.
