"In writing this little effort, I have hoped to bring back the sunbeams of the South, the snow caps of the North, the teeming marts of the crowded East, and the great hills of the vast Alone. I have tried to make the work bigger and broader than any single street, tried to touch the octaves in human activities and the lost chord in human hearts. Briefly, I have tried to give expression to thoughts that will work out in everyday life - thoughts that will help humans to help themselves. I have tried to tell all this in a simple way - tried to have the energy of thought take the place of beauty of language." - from the Foreword by F.D. Van Amburgh, 1916.
