What were the conditions that existed for working children in the early 1900s?
Working children in the 1900s lived very difficult lives. Both girls and boys worked to help support the family. They often did dangerous jobs, such as cleaning the machines. To do this, children would crawl under or over running machinery or use their fingers to re-thread or clean machine parts. These jobs were assigned to children because only they were small enough to climb over or under machinery and they had smaller hands and fingers. Children ran the risk of severe injury, such as losing a finger, and even death if their hair or clothing was caught by a running machine (business owners would never turn off the machines for fear of wasting production time).
Children began working in some industries as young as 6 or 7 years old. They worked long hours, as long as adults did. These were often 11-13 hour days with no sick days, over time pay, or workers compensation for injuries. Short breaks were given for meals, but often they were eaten right on the factory floor. Children, like all workers, were not allowed to sit and be idle but were constantly given tasks to do. Children were paid less than women (who were paid even less than men) for the same number of hours - making pennies a day and less than $10 a week. There were no opportunities for working children to go to school.

What did Wilhelm Ackermann contribute to math?
Wilhelm Friedrich Ackermann was a German mathematician best known for the Ackermann function, an important example in the theory of computation.
Ackermann was awarded a Ph.D. in 1925 for a consistency proof of arithmetic apparently without full Peano induction (although it did use e.g. induction over the length of proofs).
In 1928, Ackermann helped David Hilbert turn his 1917 - 22 lectures on introductory mathematical logic into a text, Principles of Mathematical Logic. This text contained the first exposition ever of first-order logic, and posed the problem of its completeness and decidability. Ackermann went on to construct consistency proofs for set theory (1937), full arithmetic (1940), type-free logic (1952), and a new axiomatization of set theory (1956).
