Excerpt from The City Worker's World: In America It is by art that the life of the industrial family is best portrayed. The high lights of verse or can vas or drama give the poignant and direct testimony of experience. This little book, alas, fails of being either art or science. But while it cannot claim these high ave nues of expression, it may serve the more modest but no less useful purpose of furnishing a plain de scription of the facts of the city dweller's life, to gether with some indications of the evolutionary process going on at the city's heart. Books have taught me much. No doubt their mes sages have coloured my reflections. But experience has led me to discard much book knowledge as nu true, more as irrelevant, and most as anaemic in the face of life itself. More than to all other experiences the rich years have bestowed, do I owe to the illumination of my fifteen years at Greenwich House. No day goes by without its quota of testimony given by our Whole resident group from association with our neigh bours. This body of experience, growing day by day, is larger than the individual observer could hope to grasp. And I want, therefore, gratefully to ac knowledge to my associates their helpful share in the formation of such convictions as I have been able here to present.
