Short sketch which contrasts the horrors of present poverty, which is the focus of the book, with a brief vision of a eutopian future with a much-improved Boston with large apartment blocks that have many social amenities and large halls with a gymnasium, restaurants with “plain food at reasonable prices” (220), free reading rooms and lecture halls, a free night school, beautiful homes for orphans set in parks with excellent education, including learning a trade. All special privileges and laws favoring the upper classes have been abolished.
