Daniel Legrand

Daniel Legrand (1783 – 16 March 1859) was a Swiss industrialist and philanthropist of the Reformed Church who spent most of his life in Alsace, France. He campaigned for laws that would improve the condition of child workers, and of industrial workers in general. His ideas contributed to the later development of international labor law.
==Life==

Daniel Legrand was born at Basel on 28 November 1783.
His father was Johann Lukas Legrand (or Jean-Luc Legrand, 1755–1836), president of Directory of the Helvetic Republic.
Daniel Legrand was given a sound, moral education based on 18th century philosophical principles.
He spent two years at the Reichenau institute in Graubünden, then studied mathematics at Neuchâtel before returning to Basel to help his father in his ribbon factory. The factory was run on paternalist lines. The workers were lodged in the factory. The owner presided with his family at meals, and he and his son directed the education of the children.
After being forced out of office, his father moved to Alsace, France and founded a ribbon factory.
Daniel helped with the business.
In 1812 Daniel Legrand visited Ban de la Roche, where he met Jean-Frédéric Oberlin (1740–1826).
Oberlin has been called the "true precursor of social Christianity in France."
Legrand came under the spell of the pastor, and moved with his ribbon factory to nearby Fouday, where he lived for the rest of his life. He became known for his frank piety and openness to members of different Christian sects.
According to the Reverend Frederick Monod,
Legrand thought that a Christian who owned property should give half of his income to the service of God and the poor. He provided good conditions to his workers, including housing and schools.
He did not mechanize his factory, but let his employees work at home.
He petitioned with some success for laws that would reduce the working hours of children in the factories.
In Legrand's 1841 ''Lettre d'un industriel des montagnes des Vosges'' he threw down a challenge to the French leaders when he said that even England had "found that all its interests, without exception, imperiously demanded the intervention of the legislation in order to fix the age, working hours and schooling of its factory workers in order to save them from ruin and perdition."
Legrande was a believer in small-scale family industry, where children worked with their parent, and hours were shorter than was common at the time. This would avoid the corrupting influence of the factory on children, would strengthen family bonds and would provide long-term social benefits.
Legrand was active throughout his life in distributing copies of the Scriptures and religious tracts.
Daniel Legrand died at home in Ban de la Roche on 16 March 1859.
