I'm the City Of
Glasgow alcne Al
600 out of every l0O,-
600 live in homes
having only one
room, and. further,
nearly one-third OF
the whole people
dwell in homes of
only one room, and
more than two !
thirds of the people
of Scotland dwell in
homes Of not more 4.
than two rooms.
1--WE find poverty =
and misery, What d,
does it mean, when
all these families
are living in homes
of one room, to us
who have several
rooms and all the
comforts of life ? 1t
means more than |
can describe and
more than l will at
tempt to enter into;
and as need begets
need, SO poverty and
misery beget pow
erty and misery.
And SO in all our
great towns, and
not a little in our
small towns, there
is misery and help
lessness, much as l
have described. In
fact, looking at the
past, to me it is a
melancholy thing
to look at; there is
much of it which
eXcites in me not
establishment only,
but horror. The
fact is, there passes
before my eyes a
vision of millions of
families-not indi-
viduals, but fami-
lies--fathers, moth
ers, children-pass-
ing, CHASTITY, sor-
row = stricken, in
never ending pro-
cession, from their
cradles to their
graves"
JOHN RUSKIN.

she has sold her
soul for grain, they
die of hunger"
