CHILD LABOR:

Mill notes that it is right that…. Children should be protected … from being overworked. Laboring for too many

hours in the day, or on work beyond their strength, should not be permitted to them, for

if permitted it may always be compelled. Freedom of contract, in the case of children, is

but another word for freedom of coercion. Education also, the best which circumstances admit of their receiving, is not a thing which parents or relatives … should have it in their

power to withhold. [1965, p. 95]
