May the love that shines in their eager eyes never\r\ngrow cold within them; then they shall yet grow up to give a helping hand\r\nin working out this problem which so plagues the world to-day. As to their\r\nfathers share, it has been a very small and simple one, and now it is\r\ndone. Other hands may carry forward the work. My aim has been to gather\r\nthe facts for them to build upon. I said it in How the Other Half Lives,\r\nand now, in sending this volume to the printer, I can add nothing. The two\r\nbooks are one. Each supplements the other. Ours is an age of facts. It\r\nwants facts, not theories, and facts I have endeavored to set down in\r\nthese pages. The reader may differ with me as to the application of them.\r\nHe may be right and I wrong. But we shall not quarrel as to the facts\r\nthemselves, I think. A false prophet in our day could do less harm than a\r\ncareless reporter. That name I hope I shall not deserve.\nTo lay aside a work that has been so long a part of ones life, is like\r\nlosing a friend. But for the one lost I have gained many. They have been\r\nmuch to me. The friendship and counsel of Dr. Roger S. Tracy, of the\r\nBureau of Vital Statistics, have lightened my labors[Pg vi] as nothing else\r\ncould save the presence and the sympathy of the best and dearest friend of\r\nall, my wife. To Major Willard Bullard, the most efficient chief of the\r\nSanitary Police; Rabbi Adolph M. Radin; Mr. A. S. Solomons, of the Baron\r\nde Hirsch Relief Committee; Dr. Annie Sturges Daniel; Mr. L. W. Holste, of\r\nthe Childrens Aid Society; Colonel George T. Balch, of the Board of\r\nEducation; Mr. A. S. Fairchild, and to Dr. Max L. Margolis, my thanks are\r\ndue and here given. Jew and Gentile, we have sought the truth together.\r\nOur reward must be in the consciousness that we have sought it faithfully\r\nand according to our light.\nJ. A.
