"The singular Miss Smith, possessing a fortune in her own right, is disappointed with the dilettante attempts to solve the social problems of the Ontological Club of her native town. She takes service under sometimes very harsh conditions that she may study the problem for herself. Among her strange acquaintances is a decent foundry-man who proves to be professor in sociology of Harvard. After considerable illumination through their working experiences, they agree to pool their resources and efforts for the uplift of the working people"--Methodist magazine and review. Vol. LX, July to December, 1904.
