Forestalling Child Labor by Felix Adler
Adler argues for a National Child Labor Committee to preempt child labor in advancing industrial states. He warns against repeating past abuses, noting how agricultural to industrial shifts in England and U.S. states triggered similar exploitation. A national effort is needed to halt that harmful pattern before it spreads to western states.

Advertising merchant and the modern newspaper boom
The advertising merchant is the one who does the business in these days of push and enterprise. There are more newspaper readers today than ever before in the history of the world. The newspaper places your business under the eyes of the buyer. He sees what he wants, and, knowing where to find it, looks up the wide awake merchant who asked him to come and see him. Success in these days of sharp competition calls for eternal vigilance. You can't keep a hustler down.
