Probably much more than this number of the refuse of womankind in the great city lies hidden in oblivion. The damnation of it is not in the death of them, but at the point where civiliza- tion slays the human spirit. We have 38 OPPORTUNITY come to a place in the world's advancing life where the common man always runs the narrow risk of being swallowed up. Our fine theories about tactfulness and shift and adaptabihty amount to noth- ing. The toiler goes to the limit of his powers, and he will ge...t on if his job lasts. His job to him is the greatest thing this side of heaven. The slim ten- ure of it which hangs over him like a shadow has come to be more than an incident of progress. It is the dispirit- ing of the million. If civihzation be- comes the friend only of the mentally and physically strong, it has become a brute survival. There is no actual progress in it until it has found the middle way where, if some travel in luxury, all may travel in comfort, if they meet hfe's normal demands.
