Personal Problems of Boys Who Work is a book written by Jeremiah Whipple Jenks and first published in 1913. The book focuses on the challenges and difficulties faced by young boys who work, particularly those who are employed in manual labor or other low-paying jobs. Jenks, a prominent economist and social reformer, draws on his own experiences working in factories as a young boy to provide insights into the psychological and social effects of child labor. He argues that the harsh conditions and long hours of work can have a negative impact on the physical and mental health of young boys, and can also interfere with their education and social development.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the personal problems faced by working boys. Topics covered include the physical effects of labor, the impact on family relationships, the challenges of balancing work and school, and the psychological toll of working in difficult and often dangerous conditions.Throughout the book, Jenks emphasizes the importance of providing support and guidance to young boys who work, and offers practical advice for parents, educators, and social workers on how to address the personal problems faced by these children. He also advocates for broader social and economic reforms to improve the lives of working-class families and to protect the rights of children in the workforce.Overall, Personal Problems of Boys Who Work is a thought-provoking and insightful book that sheds light on an important but often overlooked aspect of social and economic history. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of child labor, social reform, and the challenges faced by working-class families.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
