To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One conclusion clearly results from a reading of this book: there are cases that no private charity can ever relieve. And to this conclu- sion must be added the consideration that probably most of the unhelpable cases, such as tramps, never come before relief societies at all. In other words, unhelpable cases can- not be relieved by private charity because it Indiscriminate Almsgiving 89 has no power to use the coercion, however mild, which is found to be indispensable in these cases. Now there... are many good hearts and good heads which ask the extremely pertinent ques- tion: Are not unhelpable cases also entitled to consideration? In the first place it may be laid down as an indisputable fact that no perfectly healthy man or woman prefers begging to working. Nor- mal people are not only willing to work, but even unhappy if they are not working. Lazi- ness is due either to temperamental defect or to wealth that makes work unnecessary, and to poverty that makes it impossible. The healthy workingmen, tradesmen, and farmers that constitute about four-fifths of the popu- lation work as naturally as they eat or sleep; it is only when we move away from the whole- some average man to the extremely wealthy on the one hand and the extremely poor on the other that we find unwillingness to work developed to the point of vice.
