Condition:
Family numbers 5--father, mother and three children, boys, aged sixteen, eleven and thirteen years. Two of them attend public school. They live in three small rooms in rear part of a large house, which are very dark and dirty, and for which they pay $11 per month. The whole family seem to be very ignorant, and aren't able to speak any English. Father works fifty weeks in the year at an average of $1.50 per day. He does not belong to any union and carries no life insurance. If it were not for the assistance rendered by the oldest son, their expenses would exceed their earnings.
