John Spargo
The Progressive Era marked a change in many different aspects of American Society
that had become normalized since the industrial revolution. John Spargo was
born on January 31, 1876 in Cornwal England. Spargo was self-taught and was
enrolled in two courses provided by the Oxford Extension Program from 1894 to
1895. In 1895 he worked with his father: Thomas Spargo, on the Barry Docks
South in Wales as a Stonemason (person who creates buildings or structures from
stones).

Spargo was an advocate for Children's Rights, in his works The Bitter Cry of the Children (1905), Underfed School Children (1906), and The Common Sense of the Milk Question (1908) he stressed his opinions that children need to be fed through state-funded programs. But more importantly that children should not be forced to work in horrible and unsanitary conditions.
