CHAPTER VII

THE PROTECTION OF WOMEN IN INDUSTRY

"Are our faces grave, and our eyes intent?

Is every ounce that is in us bent

On the uttermost pitch of accomplishment?

Though it's long and long the day is.

Ah! we know what it means if we fool or slack;

—A rifle jammed—and one comes not back;

And we never forget—it's for us they gave.
