Excerpt from Wage-Earners Budgets: A Study of Standards and Cost of Living in New York CityThe undeniable success which has rewarded Mrs. More's experiment in making friendly personal acquaintance contribute to scientific inquiry is another distinguishing and most gratify ing feature of this investigation. The poor rightfully resent most of the amateur and frankly impertinent attempts of self appointed sociologists to investigate them, but they are nearly always entirely willing to cooperate in any serious study of economic conditions when its nature and value are under stood and they are assured that their private concerns will be regarded with delicacy and respect. Mrs. More has completed an investigation of great value through strictly cooperative work. The results here offered could not have been achieved without the cordial assistance of all of the families whose struggles and circumstances are set forth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
