...face it, the Industrial Revolution is over. What this country sorely needs now is a Manual Revolution, a return to greater reliance upon plain old manual labor.

"After grammar school in Wisconsin's 'Sawdust City,' " he recalled, "my education was transferred to the manual side of factory, store and bank. Here I lived behind the scenes in the life of the worker." But in 1901 he moved to New York and taught photography-the rudiments of the craft-to students at a progressive academy called the Ethical Culture School, and there the first of Hine...
