Excerpt from Reports of the Immigration Commission, Vol. 1 of 2: Immigrants in Cities; A Study of the Population of Selected Districts in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland, Buffalo, and Milwaukee Many social workers and tenement - house reformers have made studies of individual families in congested districts, most of which represent extreme cases of poverty. The present investigation includes a great many households that live in poverty and under insanitary and unhealthy surroundings; a stud of some of the individual schedules reveals the presence of high y undesirable and objectionable conditions in many families. The Commission's agents, however, did not confine themselves to records of the poorest families, but obtained schedules from all the households within a neighborhood selected for study. Thus the report tends to modify impressions based on studies of extreme cases, and brings out the fact that a large majority of the immigrants in cities lead a decent, hard-working life, in homes that are clean, though in many cases poor, and that the undesirable conditions prevailing in congested quarters often are not brought about by the residents, but largely in spite of them.
