Read this quote by Francis Perkins, who witnessed the Triangle shirtwaist factory fire. She later served as Secretary of Labor under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In your own words, explain what Perkins meant by referring to the fire as an "episode".

"We really got a big draw out of that one episode, which, as I have thought of it afterwards, seems in some way to have paid the debt society owed to those children those young people who lost their lives in the Triange Fire. Its their contribution to the people of New York that we have this really magnificent series of legislative acts to protect and improve the administration of the law regarding the protection of work[ing] people."
--Francis Perkins, 1964​
