An incident in the life of this man
will give some idea of his method Of

about the tenement house dwellers.
The magazines were full of stuff
about conditions in the slums. People
who didn't know anything about the
poor, were writing articles about them.
Bigelow decided he would study tene

He had a young wife. charming as

training. She was willing TO make
any sacrifice her husband suggested.
So the couple moved into the rool<iest
tenement in Cincinnati, away up in

unfortunate OF the tenemet dwellera

with them. In the dingy rooms Bige-
Vow pursued his studies. 1t was as
good a place to read a book as any
where else. His studies were inter-
rupted frequently by the woes of his
neighbors, but he was part OF the
tenement house life and understood
the Interruptions.
The people of the tenement soon
came to love the Bigelows and to |
confide In them. and to trust them. |
and to seek their advice and services. |
