A PERSONAL VOICE CAMELLA TEOLI
“ I used to go to school, and then a man came up to my house and asked my
father why I didn’t go to work, so my father says I don’t know whether she is 13 or
14 years old. So, the man say You give me $4 and I will make the papers come
from the old country [Italy] saying [that] you are 14. So, my father gave him
the $4, and in one month came the papers that I was 14. I went to
work, and about two weeks [later] got hurt in my head.”
—at congressional hearings, March 1912
