found under the last plank the body of a little lad crushed to death, no one had missed a boy, though
his parents afterward turned up. the truant officer assuredly does not know, though he spends his we

thousands of poor children are crowded out of the schools year by year for want of room. there was a
big tenement in the sixth ward, now happily appropriated by the beneficent spirit of business that
blots out so many foul spots in new york-it figured not long ago in the official reports as "an out-and-
out hogpen"-that had a record of one hundred and two arrests in four years among its four hundred
and seventy-eight tenants, fifty-seven of them for drunken and disorderly" (riss, xv)|
