Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Housing of the Unskilled Wage Earner: America´s Next Problem One of the incidental benefits of the war was that it awakened us to the importance of housing. No nation can rise higher than the level of its homes. Whether we approach the subject from the point of view of health, morals, child conservation, industrial efficiency, Americanization, or good citizenship, the housing problem is fundamental. We have been very slow. Germany realized a generation ago that neither industrial nor military efficiency could be expected from an improperly housed population, and Germany took steps accordingly. In 1889 industrial Belgium embarked on a policy that was to make her people a nation of home owners. Great Britain has given us the garden city. She has written on her statute books and established in her practice the doctrine of community responsibility for the housing of the people.
