  6. 4. THEY WILL SAY Of my city the worst that men will ever say is this: You took little children away from the sun and the dew, And the glimmers that played in the grass under the great sky, And the reckless rain; you put them between walls To work, broken and smothered, for bread and wages, To eat dust in their throats and die empty-hearted For a little handful of pay on a few Saturday nights -Carl Sandburg

The half that was on top cared little for the struggles, and less for the fate of those who were underneath, so long as it was able to hold them there and keep its own seat. Of one thing New York made sure at the early stage of the inquiry: the boundary line of the Other Half lie through the tenements. Today three-fourths of its people live in the tenements, and the nineteenth century drift of the population of the cities is sending ever-increasing multitudes to crowd them. The fifteen thousand tenant houses that were the despair of the sanitarian in the past generation have swelled into thirty-seven thousand, and more than twelve hundred thousand persons call them home. We now know that there is no way out; that the “system: that was the evil offspring of public neglect and private greed has come to stay, a storm-centre forever of our civilization.
