London reports from Lloyds Register 1920 21 that US seagoing tonnage excluding Great Lakes rose since 1914 by over 500 percent to 12 406 000 tons, placing the United States second to the United Kingdom. US sailing tonnage now accounts for over 43 percent of the world's total, with Germany greatly reduced. The report notes war losses and shifts in global shipping alongside rising factory system discipline and social concerns about homeless youth and moral uplift.
The article discusses a growing class of homeless children resulting from divorce, illegitimacy, and orphanhood. It argues modern life creates many vulnerable youngsters who lack adequate care and highlights the moral duty of society to address their plight.
