To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Brace, the accomplished Sec- retary of the Children's Aid Societj-, he held that orphanage was a leading cause of juvenile vagrancy; but when I came to inquire as to the orphanage, it was found to be caused in almost every case, - directly or indirectly, by intem- perance. Of course people would continue to die if there were not a drop of alcoholic liquor in the world, and would die at all ages ; but fewer of them would die in middle life, and still fewer leaving their families totally un- prov...ided for. Alcohol, therefore, as found in intoxicating liquors, if not im- mediately, is remotely chargeable with the mass of misery which I have pre- sented. Of the immediate causes the figures of the Newsboys' Lodging House show that orphanage is a i^rincipal one, and conversation with the outcasts proves that parental profligacy is another. " They beat me so I couldn't stay, " or " Father and mother fought so much I run away, " are common excuses of the children who are found wandering destitute in the sti-eets; but in every one of these cases Avhich has been fully probed, whiskey has been found to be at the bottom of it.
