EXCLUSIVE INSIDE! The Industrial Revolution
Dear Editor,
I would like to express my concern with you over child labor after ads
have been catching my eyes in your magazines. I have heard that children
are being forced into factory work as early as six years old, and getting little
to no pay! I have many family members and friends that have children that
are working in these factories and I think it is crazy that they are okay with
what they tell me about them. I personally do not have kids myself, but I still
think this is crazy to work young children up to 19 hours a day alone, even if
they are getting paid. I’ve also heard that factory workers only provide
around one hour of break time in one of these insane 19 hour work days.
Not only are the time of work ridiculous, place of work is also insane!
Our children of today are forced to work under harsh conditions in factories
with deadly and large machines, disgusting environments, and hot working
areas. Also there are orphans who factory owners get away with the most of-
fensive and horrible things, these orphans don’t get paid in money but in
nothing but lies. Factory owners have claimed to have a payroll of things like
food, shelter, and clothing, so the owners get away with getting free work in
their factory.
In Britain, the workforce consists of 14 percent of workers being under
14 years old. It is apparently very common for the overworked children in the
factory to get beat if they weren’t performing up to par with what the factory
owner wants. Not like it was already harsh enough in these factories, but if
they don’t work well in these conditions they are sure to get hurt, how cruel!
A tactic used by owners is called “weighting”, were children have a chain
and a weight tied on their neck and walk up and down the factory halls so
other children can take example of why not to underperform, how harsh!
I really think that children deserve to have a lot more freedom when it
comes to work like this and I don’t believe it was right to support anything
having to do with this horrible way of receiving work. I hope the children
around the world are eventually given more freedom and this issue is taken
action upon it.
Sincerely,
Scarlett Smith

MARY SHELLEY
Mary Shelley, a
SUSPICIOUS WOMAN?
Mary Shelley, the author of the current best seller, Frankenstein, may have a different meaning behind the
reason as to why she wrote her best seller.
Frankenstein is treated as your every day thriller by most of the population, but recently, Mary claimed (after
a year of the book’s release) that it was to warn about the dangers of science!
This has sparked a lot of talk about whether or not she really just doesn’t like the act of discovery in the form
of tests and also about if she should really be writing about science in the first place.
Some people were already bitter about the fact that no one first knew that she actually wrote the book. Many
thought it was a man with the name Percey Shelley, Mary’s former husband.
These bad features about her are sparking many conversations and rumors in the writers’ community, such as a
man named Reece Tyler made the book instead of her.
So can we really trust the author of the best-selling book Frankenstein?

WW ith today’s great minds, innovation is a constant feature in our great thinkers to-
day. In the days of the 1800s, the common folk have to strain themselves over many tasks, and
these inventors’ jobs are to help make our lives easier, so today in our article, we will look over
some of the great past inventions over the last years.
The first inventor we will go over is a man who has a great story that has lead up to his
current success: George Eastman. Mr. Eastman was a high school drop out due to the fact that
he had to support his struggling family. Due to the fact he dropped out of high school, people
looked down on him. Eastman went through jobs at fourteen years, starting off working in an
insurance company to support his family. Five years later, he started work as a junior clerk at a
bank, which tripled his salary allowing him to focus on other things in life. At 24 years old, East-
man took a vacation and decided to take photographs on his way. The camera he brought
weighed as much as a microwave and was supported by a larger tripod. A tent was needed to
allow the photos to develop, and five dollar lessons were needed to be able to learn how to
use the device. All of these unpleasing features about the camera inspired Eastman to invent
something new and impressive. He started reading British magazines about cameras and their
technologies to find out a way to improve the device. Eastman eventually developed his busi-
ness in 1880, developing dry plates that put the image was put on with the larger camera. Lat-
er, Eastman developed the invention that would change photography forever: lighter dry plates
made of glassier materials that were lighter, which allowed him to develop a smaller handheld
camera rather than a huge heavy camera. The lighter dry plates are now known as film, which
are like paper. Eastman is currently mass producing these portable cameras made by his com-
pany, Kodak. Without Eastman, many photographers today would still be using cameras equiv-
alent to just drawing images.
Now, we move on to our next great thinker: Robert Fulton. Mr. Fulton was responsible
for inventing the steam boat. Fulton originally moved to Paris to study and paint. Out of his
studies, he started making simple designs of submarines, but never ended up testing one out.
After another man in France, Robert Livingston, an American ambassador on a visit, saw these
impressive designs, he met with Fulton to convince him into making what we know now as
the steam boat. Fulton ended up moving to the United States to start planning out this boat.
Fulton then ended up ordering two small engines from Europe to get his design started; the
first design was called the Clermont and was tested on the Hudson River. The boat ended up
failing, but after a few minor engine adjustments, the boat was able to move upstream to Alba-
ny in 32 hours traveling at an average speed of 5 miles per hour creating the first steam boat.
The two men continued with their work creating more efficient and larger boats in 1811 chang-
ing how we transport items on rivers forever.

DEAR KARL: My children and
I, as of Monday, will be working in the
same factory together! I’m so excited!
However, I do worry they won’t be get-
ting enough sleep—they’ll be working
from 6 A.M. to 7 P.M. on most days.
What should I do to ensure my children
get enough sleep?
WORRIED FATHER
DEAR FATHER: First of all, I
didn’t know that bring-your-kids-to-
work day was being taken so literally
these days… I suggest not even getting
them to work due to the fact that they
need to be nurtured and raised in healthy
conditions, NOT having their arms
chopped off and shouldn’t you be the
only person be the only person to beat
your child, NOT your boss? Think about
it.

MoTher’s WorrIes By Karl Heinrich Marx

"“The chains of
military despotism,
once fastened upon a
nation, ages might
pass away before
they could be shaken
off.”"
§
ar is a very harsh subject, and many people
fail to realize how brutal it actually is, so an
interview of a war veteran could put this in
perspective for some.
We are going to focus on the most re-
cent large scale war, The War of 1812. With us to put
in perspective we have the former American general
and current politician, William Henry Harrison.
We started our questions first asking William
about what his role was in the war and what he ac-
complished. He responded “Well I gained my first
rank in control as a commander after the US lost in
Detroit after my rank bobbled around until I ended
up as a commander,“
We then proceeded to ask him about what
were his best successes in this war, he responded
“My main goal was to change our strategy from of-
fensive to a defensive strategy to defend against the
British, results showed immediately as I led my boys
to victory at the Battle of Lake Erie. After fending off
Britain at Lake Erie we had to gain what we had just
lost to the British, which was Detroit created a battle
called The Battle of Thames which we managed to
successfully take back Detroit. Those are my proud-
est victories from the War of 1812 before I moved
into politics.”
We then asked him about what the common
life was like in a day of war in the War of 1812. He
said “On normal days we do what everyone else
does, bathe, go to church, shop, and many other nor-
mal things, but when we were on duty we’d spend
time playing simple games like gambling, or smoking
until we got orders to attack or defend,”
Then we asked if a normal person could real-
ly handle war and being in the army, he responded
“There were many components in war that may make
people fear it, the biggest one being fear of death, but
I can tell people that it is very unlikely, death rate
was around .8% in that war. Other components are
things everyone could take in, like physical and men-
tal strength. (Chuckles) of course a lot of guys didn’t
really have a choice if they would be able to handle
being in the army.”
We then thanked the former General for his
time and he was off. There was much to learn out of
this man about war and we were lucky to know the
information he gave us and maybe we could ask him
a little more in a later article.

TT he ability to take away illness or disease is always something that should be of interest to hu-
mans, and in this time of innovation many have already done so. The fact that we always know the present
threat of disease from our past, and the items we try to protect ourselves with haven’t been proven to work ef-
fectively, many scientist are now focusing on medicine to improve immunity towards disease or illness. Exam-
ples of these innovators include, Edward Jenner, Sir Humphrey Davy, James Blundell, and there are many
more that have contributed to the engineering of better medicines.
Immunity to Sickness Immunity to Sickness and Painless Surgeryand Painless Surgery
First we will look at what is
now known as vaccination, which
is something that protects us from
disease or illness. In 1796, Edward
Jenner, an English physician was
studying how different sickness act-
ed when others were already in the
body. Edward tested this with his
gardener’s 8 year old son. First, he
injected the boy with the dairy-
maid’s cowpox pustule, then later
exposed the box to amounts of
smallpox. To Edward’s prevail,
there were no effects or signs of
smallpox after 6 weeks of it being
exposed into the boy. What Edward
did was protect the boy with a very
harmful sickness by injecting him
with a lot less harmful illness. This
later became known as vaccination,
which is from the Latin term
“vacca” which means cow. Some
may think,
but someone has to understand that
there are different severity levels in
illnesses, and since cowpox is a mi-
nor illness and smallpox kills 30%
of the people it infects, which
would you rather have?
Another good feat in the
engineering of better medicine in
our time is anesthesia.
Anesthesia was invented
recently in 1846 to reduce pain
when receiving surgery. If you ever
had surgery before, anesthesia was
beginning to be used. You would
know that it is a horrific event in
which you would either be knocked
out by alcohol or bite the bullet and
take the pain screaming throughout
the whole surgery. There were also
multiple suicide cases due to the
fact that people wanted to avoid
surgery.
Dr. Warren Jackson was the
first to use this when he got the idea
from how dentists used nitrous ox-
ide to remove teeth with minimal
pain, this substance was discovered
to be useful to minimize pain when
found at college parties to get a
high off of and it turned out to re-
duce pain to a minimum as well. He
first used it in surgery when at-
tempting to remove a tumor from
Mr. Gilbert Abbot, who proceeded
to say he never felt any pain after
the surgery.
News started to spread
around the world about a painless
surgery and multiple doctors started
to pick up this medical engineering
feat.
All we can expect is ad-
vancement in the engineering of
better medicines as time passes in
these years of innovation.

DEAR KARL: My children
and I, as of Monday will be work-
ing in the same factory together!
I’m so excited! However, I do wor-
ry they won’t be getting enough

6 A.M. to 7.P.M. on most days.
What should I do to ensure to en-
sure my children get enough sleep?
WORRIED FATHER
DEAR FATHER: First of

tured and raised in healthy condi-
tions, NOT having their arms

NOT your boss? Think about it.
DEAR KARL: I see no rea-
son as to why you are aiming at us
capitalists for giving the so called
“proletariats” (funny name by the
way) harsh working conditions.
Can you imagine just how many
children you’re putting to work just
to publish this silly little piece on
your communist ideas?
A CAPITALIST
DEAR CAPITALIST: I’m
“aiming” at you capitalists due to
the many deaths your factories have
caused so many benign children
who were to have the lives of us as
children— carefree.
To publish this article is to
provide for yet another poor family
your mammoth factories have taken
advantage of: it’s the only way the
poor families are making any mon-
ey whatsoever while you and your
well-taken-care-of family is proba-
bly sitting by the fire place, eating
the most eloquent dinners, and hav-
ing a good place to sleep “and this
life activity [the worker] sells to
another person in order to secure
the necessary means of life. ... He
works that he may keep alive. He
does not count the labor itself as a
part of his life; it is rather a sacri-
fice of his life. It is a commodity
that he has auctioned off to
another.”
If you truly believe my ide-
as are silly, read another magazine.
DEAR KARL: I have read
the Communist Manifesto by you
and Mr. Engels: What was your
reasoning behind writing such a
great and interesting piece on you
and Mr. Engels’ ideas on com-
munism— they’re fantastic!
FRIENDLY PROLETERIAT
DEAR PROLETERIAT: I
have read YOUR piece of writing
and feel like I must reply! Mr. En-
gels and I wrote this piece to ex-
ploit the majority by the minorities:
I wanted to show those capitalists
that what they’re doing could reach
to their demise! Just look at the
world, what we have come down
to… We need to rebuild!

O n the 16th of December 1770 in a German town named Bonn, one of the greatest musicians
and entertainers of all time was born. This musician was named Ludwig van Beethoven, who
is considered the greatest pianist of our time. Beethoven started by his father teaching him the arts of music,
but then that soon changed to Beethoven having a professional teacher which was organist C. G. Neefe at elev-
en years old. One year later after being taught by Neefe he went on to publish his first music at age twelve, and
continued being taught by Neefe until 1787 when he went away for Vienna. His first visit there was cut short
due to the fact that he got the news that his mother was dying, five years after his first visit there he went back
to live and work there.
Once he was in Vienna he started to study composition while trying to make a name for himself as a
pianist and a composer. He ended up establishing a good relationship with the town’s aristocracy, who ended
up paying Beethoven’s yearly income for him keeping him in Vienna. In the early 1800 Beethoven’s music
was changing from what he originally did into high classical style and more solo style of playing the piano
which ends up boosting his fame drastically. Unfortunately, while Beethoven was making the musical seen
there was an issue arising, his hearing. Beethoven had just learned that he had a hearing disorder and it was
progressively getting worse overtime. This was making Beethoven into something he previously wasn’t with
his frustration and constant rages in front of people due to his slow loss of hearing. These issues were a big
dent in his social life, causing him to never get a wife or never really talk to women that much anymore. Eve-
rything really started to go downhill for Beethoven, as he could not perform anymore, family members were
going into custody, and he was constantly thinking of killing himself which some say shows in the downfall in
his music where it got less dramatic and some say more bland. This long line of poverty eventually led to the
death of Beethoven in 1827 due to bad health, leaving him as one of the greatest musicians of our time.
