POVERTY

"A book that should be read by every one who has the promotion of social
betterment at heart."--_Milwaukee Sentinel._

"A most interesting, a most startling, and a most instructive book."--_Los
Angeles Times._

"His book is largely a result of personal experience, and the aid of
such works as his observation has led him to believe are approximately
accurate and worthy of credence. 'Poverty' seeks to define its subject
estimate its extent, describe some of its effects, and point out the
necessary remedial action, as seen by a settlement worker. The result is
a collection of data of considerable value."--_New York Daily People._

"This is in many ways a noteworthy book. The author has long lived face
to face with the almost incredible conditions which he here portrays. He
has extended his work and observations from the crowded tenement
districts of the great cities to the smaller industrial towns, and what
he finds reveals conditions in this country--even in times of industrial
prosperity--very similar to those found in England by Booth and other
investigators; namely, that a percentage of poverty exists in the
smaller industrial centres not far below that of the great industrial
places, and that this percentage is extraordinarily high."--_Springfield
Republican._

"The book is written with earnestness, but without exaggeration. Every
one familiar with the facts knows that conditions are even more cruel
and brutal than as here described. And yet, no one of the great
industrial nations is so backward as our own in devising and employing
the legislative and other necessary remedies. Mr. Hunter's presentation
of the situation is of the greatest value, and deserves the widest
consideration."--_The Congregationalist._
