Owen Lovejoy was a vehement opposer of child labour. He served as the general secretary of the National Child Labor Committee from 1907 to 1926, and then as the general secretary of the Children's Aid Society until 1939. At the National Child Labor Committee, he appointed Lewis Hine as staff photographer and art director of their magazine 'Charities and Commons' (later 'The Survey') between 1908 and 1917.
