"Suppose we look into a tenement... Be a little careful, the hall is dark, and you might stumble over the children pitching pennies back there. Not that it would hurt them; kicks and cuffs are there daily diet.
....You can feel your way if you cannot see it... That was a woman filling her pail by the hydrant you just bumped against...
Here is the door. Listen! That short, hacking cough, that tiny helpless wail--what do they mean? The child is dying with measles. With half a chance, it might have lived, but it had none. That dark bedroom killed it!"
Jacob Riis
