Gibbons had a listener who had never before heard of her hardships, and after explaining to me why Jimmy was at home at that time of the day, his presence being due not to trifling on his part, but to the half-time the factory was running, she gave herself up to the luxury of telling me in detail of her many misfortunes and of her inability to get through the winter unless additional help were given her.
Stillwell for a job, but he had no sub-committee of persuasive ladies to plead for him. He would be willing to work half-time or quarter-time for that matter. He had a wife and boy dependent on him. He could show that he was a good workman and he did not drink. Thus did Morris recite his qualifications to the unwilling ears of Stillwell the box maker.
Before they can cover the few yards which divide them, the ball is dropped beautifully, and flies, straight as an arrow, over the cross-bar, amid the tremendous cheers of the County men and their friends. "Never mind!" says Stansfield, as his men walk out once more to the fray, "they shan't get another before half-time!" Won't they?
But now the misgiving vanished, and I floated on with a quieted mind to see the Half-Time System in action. For that was the purpose of my journey, both by steamboat on the Thames, and by very dirty railway on the shore.
A prolonged struggle on the goal-line is a great spectacle. You don't get that sort of thing in Soccer. But such struggles generally end in the same way. The Nomads were now within a couple of yards of the School line. It was a question of time. In three minutes the whistle would blow for half-time, and the School would be saved. But in those three minutes the thing happened.
Hundreds of blast-furnaces, thousands of factories periodically stand idle, others only work half-time and in every civilized nation there is a permanent population of about two million individuals who ask only for work, but to whom work is denied. How gladly would these millions of men set to work to reclaim waste lands, or to transform ill-cultivated land into fertile fields, rich in harvests!
Child labour was very prevalent, children six and seven years old working "half-time" in many cases eight hours a day. As a result of this report legislation was passed by the Indian Government bettering working conditions somewhat, especially for women and children.
She will have to throw her efforts into another channel, using organization to raise the position of working-women generally into dignified industrial independence. For this still limited number of half-time married women workers are but the leaf on the stream, showing the direction events are taking.
The latter will no doubt be best, as one who can bear the great heat of that planet will be well fitted to meet the fiery criticism to which he will be subjected on all sides." Industrial and half-time manual-labor schools are now, in the public school systems of our States, getting to be the rule rather than the exception. Out-of-door schools are a grand improvement of our times.
On the whole, taking a house game was not so terrifying after all; by half-time he had forgotten his nervousness in his excitement at watching how his side was going to shape. "You know, I don't think Armour so rotten as people said he would be," said Gordon, as they came up after the game. "I thought he was all right."
