Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern City and Its Problems IN so far as this volume carries a message it is that the American city lags behind the work it should properly perform. It is negative in its func tions, rather than positive in its services. It has been stripped of power and responsibility. It is politically weak and lacks ideals of its possibilities. It has so little concern for its people that they in turn have little concern for it. We have failed to differentiate between those activities which are pri vate and those which are public. We have failed, too, to provide protection to the individual from in equalities of power and position, and have left him a prey to forces as dangerous to his life and comfort as those against which the police are employed to protect. Further than this, we have failed to shift to society the burdens of industry which the com ing of the city has created. We have permitted the sacrifice of low wages, irregular employment, and disease to be borne by the individual rather than by the community. Those who suffer from these conditions are in reality a vicarious sacrifice; a sacrifice which society has no right to accept.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Burden of the City It is not within the province of this volume to settle these problems. The reader will close it, perhaps, with a sense of unrest deeper than that with which he began. But if, with the unrest, there comes also a deeper sense of responsibility, the book will not have failed of its mission. Its problems may be problems still, but when the conscience of society is aroused regarding any wrong there is hope for its betterment. Time is not lost in considering problems, as such. A wise professor once said in his class room, If I had a problem in mathematics to solve, and my life depended upon my solving it within five minutes, I should spend the first three in reading it. There has been much ecclesias tical and philanthropic tinkering with conditions of whose real meaning and cause the tinkerers were as ignorant as babes. Not until we under stand something of the inter-relations of poverty, sin, ignorance and false social standards, can we.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of City Government The purpose of this volume is to present an analysis of the general principles involved in city growth. The rapid development of our large cities has a far deeper significance than the administrative problems which they present. Profound changes in social structure are directly traceable to the increasing aggregation of population. In this volume an attempt has been made to ascertain the nature of these changes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Sin of Great Cities We have said that fornication reduces the most fervent expres sion of deep and devoted human love to a mere animal gratification. But it does more than this it not only brings man down to a level with the brutes, but it has one feature which places him far, far below them. Sexual connexion, with them, is the simple indulgence of a natural desire mataalty felt in the case of human prostitution, it is in many, robably in most instances, a brutal desire on the one side only, and) a reluctant and loathing submission, purchased by money, on the other. Among cattle the sexes meet by common instinct and a common wish; it is reserved for the human animal to treat the female as a mere victim for his lust. The peculiar guilt of prostitution, then, consists, in our view of the matter, in its being annatnral a violation of our truer instincts - not a mere frailty in yielding to them. On this matter, therefore, we feel at least as strongly as any divine can do. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of Greater New York and Its Solution The citizens Of New York have many problems, changing in form and degree with each new generation, but the City, which con tains the citizens and outlasts the generations, must ever deal with the one fundamental factor Of its existence; New York is a sea-port. New York's original site was fixed by its harbor its growth has been dependent upon its harbor. Could New York be conceived as losing its harbor, it would straightway dwindle to a second or third-rate city. While no such danger can ever menace New York, it is no less true that any limitation Of its harbor facilities strikes a serious blow at the welfare Of the City - which is to say, at the welfare Of the citizens. We purpose to show that such a limitation now exists, that it is rapidly becoming menacing and that with it are closely associated some Of our most serious civic problems.

This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Opportunity of Chicago to Become a Great City, 1901-1903: A Discussion of the Traction Question The proper solution of this problem will contribute enormously toward the solution of all other similar problems. It will in so far teach the corporations once for all that their only hope of doing business with the city is to offer adequate and honest service for a rea sonable price. It will turn their attention from corrupt deals with political managers to an honest attempt to give the public the very best service for the very low est price, and thus transfer this whole branch of mod ern enterprise from politics, where it should not be, to business, where it belongs. The gas question, the electric lighting question, and every other similar problem will enter a new and higher phase if this street car question is correctly solved. Nay, an entirely new era will be opened in every other branch of public administration-the instant it is made plain by our method of solving this problem and by the results we may obtain, that the public service corporation has been retired from the field of illegitimate politics. No other great American city, and but few foreign cities of equal size, have had any such opportunity as has come to Chicago. Will it prove equal to the occasion?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Leaven in a Great City The tide of immigration set in, and the stran gers settled near the docks and wharfs - the source of their wages; in time they crowded into the old residences, beginning the housing problem of New York. These old homes were soon overcrowded. They could not be made sanitary. The demand for room was so great that the large closets - the necessity of the old-time housekeepers - were counted bedrooms, and are today in houses of this type in tenement-house regions throughout the city.

That problem is to make use of the city with its multitude of possibilities in what H. G. Wells calls the every day drama of human getting. But business success, of course, is no more the whole field of city promotion than the individual income is the whole problem of the individual.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of Life I must here relate that I had many obstacles to contend with in publishing this book. I lost one entire Chapter of the Manuscript, The Social Economy, it accidentally being burned, and not feeling well and energetic at the time I had to finish up the book without this last Chapter, but the Pamphlet accompanying each Problem of Life book, practically contains the same theories and principles that the Social Economy held. A few years ago I Visited Florida, and in my wanderings in that romantic Country I met with a Farmer, who wasalso a printer in a small way, who undertook to print my book on his small hand press, one page at a'time, when not occupied with his duties on the farm. So you see it was a big undertaking, and not a very easy job to print 500 Copies, - but he did gt Thus the publishing of this little book was quite a problem in itself. But my publisher has solved his part of the work well. Thus, although this book was written in a great Northern City, midst its noises and bustle of commerce and industry, and midst a sea. Of humanity in all its phases of human nature it was print ed far away in the South, in a beautiful Ideal hammock home, midst Magnolias and Palms swaying and murmur ing love to breezes scented with Jessamine.
