Dickens has done a great work in directing the attention of society to its public institutions-especially to its orphan asylums and Poorhouses.
"Dickens As an Educator"
James L. (James Laughlin) Hughes
How church spires would crumble for lack of support, and Poorhouses lessen in number for lack of inmates!
"An Ambitious Man"
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Poorhouses ain't very nice, are they?"
"Oh, Money! Money!"
Eleanor Hodgman Porter
