Read the excerpt from "lewis hine a nation see the light." in 1904, a group of people who were concerned about children working in factories and other industries created the national child labor committee. they wanted to raise the age at which children could be hired. they also sought to lower the number of hours children were allowed to work, because they wanted children to be able to attend school. this committee spoke out, but words were not enough to create change. what conclusion can be drawn by connecting knowledge of the historical time period with information in the text? the use of child labor in factories and other industries was very common. the use of child labor was considered unacceptable by most business owners. the use of child labor was considered an unacceptable alternative to formal education. the use of child labor in factories and other industries was very rare.
