Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Tramp at Home Herbebt Spencer argues that if left to themselves private individuals would perceive what measures are desirable for their welfare, and would carry out such measures without the intervention of Government. This will not always hold. Certainly, were the collection of statistics left to private enterprise, few would be collected. An enthusiastic individual might be found here and there hunting data concerning his particular hobby; there might be enthusiasts upon all questions of public importance, but their efforts would be desultory, would lack combination, and the results, as far as the public is concerned, would be almost nothing. The importance which the "Labor Question" has attained is evidenced in no more striking way than by the establishment of labor bureaus for the collection of statistics bearing especially upon labor. Massachusetts was the first State to establish such a bureau. Her example has been generally followed, until now more than half the States in the Union, and also the General Government at Washington, have departments engaged in the special work of gathering data concerning labor. That such information, if accurate, is valuable, will not be denied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
