PLAYGROUND FOR CHILDREN OF THE POOR
When children of the tenement districts are driven off the streets this is the sort of place they must resort to. It is an
alleys way littered with refuse and criss-crossed by the seepage from the many washtubs surrounding. The drainage all
runs off into the corners and frequently in wet weather the courtyard becomes a miry swamp unfit for human beings.
LIVING QUARTERS OF A. RAG-PICKING PAMILY
In this narrow apace are piled a half dozen bags of dirty and tattered rags, a bed. a table on which meals are served,
and a stove that is frequently red hot Fire is a constant menace. A family caught by flames in such a narrow space
would have littlo or no chance for their lives and neighbors closely surrounding would be in an equally bad plight.
