The country boy who goes to live In
the city soon misses the wealth Of pure
air. and sunshine, ana quiet sleep which
he enjoyed on the farm. Statistics
show that II he succeeds in business
he always gets as much OF these coun-
try advantages around him rs possible,
forming the nucleus OF the best resi-
dence districts in the city ana It's sub
urban towns. But " lie gain little
money, and while he has little. the high
rents compel him to herd with the
many olty-0orn dwellers in the teeming
tenemrnts. The actual condition OF at
fairs Is well described by Lawrence
WELLER, in the Century, as surprising
to the transient visitor, who finds In
the same city two worlds SO thoroughly
distinct, one, u world free from care
and want, of people dwelling on Wide
streets and high ground with pure
air and sunlight, with every
now and then n breath OF country;
their children shielded from, many sor-
rows. given opportunities to develop
mind and body. and started In their
Nocatlons with training and capital.
This is the city world that the country
boy reads about.
The other world Of city life, though
the home of three-fourths OF the ciy
dwellers, is seldom noticed by the visit
or, who naturally seeks the glittering
stores and line residences. The city
proper shelters thousands OF strug-
Cling people, fighting for mere chance
to keep alive. huddled together like cat
tie; their streets vile with the stencil
of nth: their rooms and cellars foul
with contaglon and disease; working
at starvation wages far Into the night;
grinding themselves out IN the tread
mill OF ceaseless toll: without rest,
without Joy, without hope, only dun,
lingering existence.
Among the evils OF the large cities
are the sweating system, with It's star
walton wages for home work and ITS
long hours of toll In shops; the laulord
system, with large rents for room or
two in a tumble-down tenement with
vile closets and halls, and cellars iilled
with decaying refuse; the fllthy streets
taintlng the air with germs Of dla-
ease. the police stations. which treat
the Young and old offender alike; the
police force, which. instead OF protect,
ing the poor. are too often 10 DC tearen
BY them as the colleagues OF criminals
the lack Of baths and other priyaoles
in the tenements, where men ana Wo-
men have no chance to be clean ana
decent, even when they wish to be;
and n public sentiment which does not
insist on clean houses and clean streets
often. for poverty Il can not.
II "a a happy contrast that pure air ana
sunshlne and distance keeps the farin
home clean and wholesome. American
