A story for young readers which follows the struggle of a mother and her seven children with poverty.

6–43934.
Aims to describe the “history of the political labour party of Australasia, to analyse its policy and the results of that policy so far as applied, and at the same time to make clear the difference as well as the similarities characterising those countries and America, which must affect the application to our own problem of their experience.”
“Not quite so interesting as Reeve’s ‘State experiments in Australia and New Zealand’ or Lloyd’s ‘Newest England’ perhaps, but more judicial than either, and more carefully prepared than the latter.”

“The book is moderate in tone and is the work of an observer anxious to give correct impressions, hence students of labor and social questions will find it a very useful volume, enabling them to understand the causes and nature of the social evolution of Australasia.” George B. Mangold.
