[The Investment of Influence by Newell Dwight Hillis]@TWC D-Link bookThe Investment of Influence CHAPTER VII 27/32
The opportunity that William the Silent found in the starving millions of Holland; that Garrison found in the miserable slaves of the South; that Livingstone found in Africa, the modern hero is finding in the tenement-house district.
Through sympathy a new hope is entering into all classes of society. The heart is also coloring industry.
This year it is said that more than a score of great industrial institutions in our country have, to the factory, added gymnasium, recreation-hall, schoolroom, library, free musicals and lectures.
The intellect has failed to solve the social problems by giving allopathic doses from Poor Richard's Almanac. Impotent also those dreamers who have insisted that society must have socialism--either God's or the devil's.
Impotent those who, during the past week, have proposed to cure economic ills by spitting the heads of tyrants upon bayonets.
