Edwardian Benevolence

Whilst researching for my senior thesis, I came across this lovely quote by Helen Dendy Bosanquet, a social and economic theorist and reformer in Edwardian England, in her 1902 book The Strength of the People: A Study in Social Economics:
We might as well quarrel with the physicians for fighting disease, or the teacher for combating ignorance, as with the reformer for attempting to root out poverty.
