Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Slums of Baltimore, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia: Prepared in Compliance With a Joint Resolution of the Congress of the United States, Approved July 20, 1802 The investigation has been conducted relative to this number of peo ple in the four cities named for the sum appropriated in the resolution. The investigation, however, was, as intimated, a tentative one. To carry it Out to include the sixteen cities comprehended in, the resolu tion, with an estimated slum population of would probably cost from to Should Congress feel, therefore, that the investigation should be extended to cover the whole sixteen cities, and evenmore, an appropriation sufficient for the work of such inves tigation should be made. It is somewhat doubtful, however, whether the results would be commensurate with the expense - that is to say, _ it may be that the results of the present investigation are sufficiently indicative of all the conditions without any further study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Betrayal of the Slums The pledges in question were of a very definite character, and were often repeated. They were embodied in a precise form in the Housing and Town Planning Act of 1919, and the records of the proceedings thereon bear witness to the fact that one of the difficulties of the Minister in charge of the Bill was to resist proposals which would have made the task exceed the limits of any possible form of execution. The intention of the Government to persevere in this effort was very clearly stated to the people in the manifesto of the Prime Minister and Mr. Bonar Law when their support was solicited at the General Election of 1918.

Download or read book Slums of New York Classic Reprint written by Harry Manuel Shulman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Slums of New York The task of adapting the schools to this newer conception of social service is enormous in magnitude and complexity. In many communities the attempt is being made, as it is in New York City, but the difficulties are staggering. Apart from the professional problems of training and retraining teachers for new skills and attitudes, there are the matters of ground space, build ing, equipment, cooperation with existing agencies, development of public opinions, and everything that has to do with public expenditures. It is here the members of Rotary may perform a notable service. If they are stirred by the importance of social adjustment, then they will bring all their influence to bear upon their local governments, upon boards of education, upon indi vidual schools, in order that these institutions may, through the force Of public opinion, be brought to a fuller realization of the fact that their own employees are products Of a favorable or an unfavorable environment and that the supply of efficient em ployees depends in part upon what the community does to make that environment favorable. Still further, that as long as society produces unemployables, employers will have to support them through public relief. If they can be made employable they will contribute to the common good instead of just drawing upon it. Finally, studies such as these, made under the auspices of socially minded business and professional men, are bound to make those men more conscious and more understanding of the total social problem and therefore able to make a real contribution to the group thinking that is the essence of democracy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Homes for Old: Public Housing in Europe and America In Europe homes are blacked out. Before long, many of them may be ruined by aerial bombardment. In belligerent countries, building - except for the building of bombproof shelters, barracks and munitions plants - has ceased. Even in the neutral countries of Europe house building is going to become increasingly difficult: the shortage and high cost of building materials, the general disturbance of trade, will see to that. The building of homes is essentially one of the arts of peace. In war it has to go by the board. But America is not at war. America is far from the scene of the struggle. And Americans are still free to cultivate the arts of peace. America Builds It happens, moreover, that America has already embarked upon a big home-building program. Part of that program - to provide homes for low-income families - started under the PWA in 1933. But it only really got under way in 1937. In that year, when Congress passed an act establishing the United States Housing Authority (USHA), we officially accepted the challenge of the slums. The USHA was authorized to make loans and grants to municipal and county housing authorities and to set up minimum standards for the construction and maintenance of "public" housing. So in various parts of the country today, from Massachusetts to California, from Michigan to Mississippi, new USHA homes are going up. At the foot of Main Street or across the railroad tracks in many a small town, in the slums or on the outskirts of cities, you can see the new buildings in various stages of construction. Some of them are already completed. John Jones moved in the other day and can't stop talking about all the space and air and light in his new house: never before could he find more than three rooms for his family of six at a rent he could pay.
