A sketch of life in Chicago, beginning in the “dump” or slum, and coming into contact with scientific charity in the guise of the Charity Organization Society.. . . In the main it is a convincing narrative. . . If it is bitter at times, that is inevitable from the array of things of fact brought to bear to make their own argument. . . . The movement of the story is swift enough to satisfy the most eager reader, and its materials are handled with unusual power.—Buffalo Evening News.The “simple annals of the poor” as pictured in Mary E. Marcy's “Out of the Dump” are terrible annals. The book is a voice from the depths. Its outlook is from the viewpoint of the very poor. It is a protest that poverty is not understood, and that organized charity goes about its problem in the wrong way. . . . On its face, it is written with full and intimate knowledge.—Chicago Inter Ocean.Socialist reasoning must fall like constant drops of water on the stultified feelings of those not with us. Mary E. Marcy has contributed a fair share of this wearing-away material in the pages of her little book, “Out of the Dump.” She has shown how the victims of the Chicago slums tarry on earth in disease and poverty till death becomes kind enough to relieve them from the capitalist clutches. But she does more than that; she gives hints of the remedy which, if followed out, must lead to the cure—Socialism.—New York Evening Call.“Out of the Dump” is the truest and most vivid description of the real life of the American city worker ever written.—Robert Rives LaMonte.There are eight original wash drawings and a cover design by R. H. Chaplin. Well printed and daintily bound in cloth. A beautiful gift book.
