MR. SAMUEL PAYNTER WILSON.
Chicago, Ill.

My Dear Friend:—

I have read your book with great interest. Ittells the truth, though no book can tell all thetruth. You have been a great help to our communityby the practical and useful service youhave rendered in the investigation of vice andthe bringing of those responsible for it to justice.Our city is the better for your work.

I hope your book will do much good. If parentsbut knew the dangers that confront theirboys and girls in our great cities, they would atleast take some ordinary precautions before turningchildren adrift amid these perils.

Very sincerely yours,
MORTON CULVER HARTZELL,

President of the Douglas Neighborhood Club.
