societies found that people had died in the night, or something terrible had happened. If only they could have reached the Society for the Protection of Children, or the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, or some other relief agency, they might have been saved.

After Harry's job in the Joint Application Bureau he went to the State Charities Aid. Then he went to the Tuberculosis Association with Homer Folks. I don't remember how Henry Bruere got to meet Harry, but he was very impressed with Hopkins's competence and often consulted him about social problems and social work problems that Bruere met incidental to his work in the Metropolitan Life or wherever he was. He always found Hopkins to be practical and useful.

Henry Bruere was a director of the Urban League. Tuberculosis raged among the city Negroes and was a great problem in all the work of the Urban League. It was in that connection that he probably got in touch with Hopkins. He found Hopkins not only informed, but very practical and very helpful. I think from that time he was always consulting Hopkins about many things - about housing projects that either the Metropolitan or the bank to which Henry Bruere went afterwards were concerned and interested in. Hopkins always proved practical, useful and in touch with the right people.

Personally I don't remember much about Hopkins
