Charlotte E. Carr was the Director of the Bureau of Women and Children. Charles A. Waters was the Secretary of the Department of Labor and Industry. Foreword by Charlotte E. Carr. Pennsylvania was at the time the second largest industrial state in which children were traditionally employed. Also at that time there had been no state-wide basis attempted to gather authoritative unbiased information regarding the conditions under which its children were being employed. In Pennsylvania no child under the age of 14 could be certificated to work. The Child Labor Law regulated in the main the conditions of work for 14- and 15-year-old employed children delegating the responsibility for the supervision of these children to two state departments The Department of Labor and Industry and the Department of Public Instruction. These two departments collaborated in this first official study to secure information regarding 14 and 15-year-old workers in the Commonwealth. McConnell succeeded Carr as Director of the Bureau.
