POVERTY

By ROBERT HUNTER

Paper 12mo 25 cents net Cloth 12mo $1.50 net

"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._
