Excerpt from Practical Housing The phrase is often misused - nevertheless, I am going without fear to say that I think it an honour to comply with your invitation to write a brief preface to this book. Ever since those days when you showed me in Birmingham the evidences of the work of the committee of which you were the chairman I had looked forward to the publication of Practical Housing, for I knew that if you could set forth the methods which you have there pursued, the feet of many willing and ardent reformers would be set upon an ordered and well defined track. I for one would gladly traverse many dusty miles to achieve the ends to which you aspire; but there is no dust in the pleasant paths of this volume, which I read at a single sitting with absorbed interest and with general and cordial agreement. In the problems of social reform presented by an old and complex civilisation such as ours we are often confronted by the pathetic spectacle of men so inflamed by the contemplation of evil and suffering that in their reforms they choose speed and violence in preference to patient persuasion. The strong hand is of course here and there necessary and must always be known to be in reserve. But good constructive workers in fields strewn with the debris of past mistakes must be cautious; must not enlist on the side of ancient abuses the sentiment of Justice which revolts against the sacrifice of the individual for those general errors for which the community is responsible, and must bear steadily in mind that impatience of financial burthen especially in the form of rates which, as we must all recognise, is a primary and powerful political motive among our people. The student of your book will find illustrations of vour firm grasp of these truths in your preference of the slower and far cheaper methods of Part II. Of the Housing Act of 1890 (recently confirmed by a valuable and weighty report of the Mansion House Council, and in the general attitude you advocate as becoming in a public authority towards property owners; by your suggestion of careful and patient explanation of the precise improvements which owners are compellable to make, their specification and cost; by yourpleas for some reasonable elasticity in respect of bye-laws, and for time for making improvements so necessary in this sphere of business, and by your recognition of the value of conference and co-operation as distinguished from official decrees made without consultation and enforced without consideration.

Excerpt from The Housing Handbook The following pages have been written in the hope that they may to some extent meet the requirements of that increasing body of earnest men and women who want to know what they can do to promote the better housing of the working classes. The experience of the past twelve years, spent in promoting or assisting in the promotion of a number of housing schemes in various parts of the country, has convinced the writer of the need for some such convenient collection of facts and figures dealing with the practical side of the housing question as that which it has been attempted to embody in this book. It has not been an easy matter to get reliable particulars in every case, but in the main the substantial facts and figures have either been abstracted from official returns or supplied by the kindness of the officers of the various bodies concerned. It is impossible that there should be no inaccuracies, but it is believed they will not be found of such a nature or extent as to modify in any material degree the various conclusions arrived at. Corrections from any source whatever will be gratefully welcomed, and an endeavour will also be made from time to time to keep the various returns and statements up-to-date, so far as they have any bearing on the actual practical work of housing. In nearly every case the writer has had the advantage of personally inspecting the various dwellings described, and in many instances, especially in connection with recent work under Part III, has been consulted by the various authorities in the preparation of the schemes. The King and the Housing of the Working Classes. Most of the work described has been done under the Public Health and Housing Acts, which, to a great extent, took their present form as an outcome of the Royal Commission, appointed on March 4th, 1884, to enquire into the Housing of the Working Classes in the United Kingdom. His Majesty King Edward VII (then Prince of Wales) was a sympathetic and keenly interested member of this Commission, the meetings of which he regularly and constantly attended. Since that time his earnestness in the cause of housing reform has been repeatedly manifested, and much as he has laboured to alleviate the sufferings of the victims of broken health and disease by encouraging the provision and support of hospital accommodation everywhere, he has been equally anxious to assist measures for the prevention of such sickness and disease by giving his royal countenance to the efforts of the various municipalities in the direction of providing more and better dwellings for the masses of the people.

Excerpt from Housing Reform: A Hand-Book for Practical Use in American Cities And as First Deputy Tenement Commissioner during the two years after the Department came into existence he had a large part in the initial enforcement of that law. The last chapter in the book contains a collection of negative "Don'ts." All the previous chapters deal with affirmative "Do's." If I were to emphasize any particular line of affirmative action in housing reform, it would be the prevention of the tenement disease before any city begins to suffer from it. We Americans have an unhappy faculty of not remembering until after we have forgotten, of not beginning to conserve our resources and save our forests until after we have lost them. But we are surely practical enough to profit by experience. And experience applied to housing reform establishes the proposition which should be printed in large type that No growing American City, However Free From Tenements Now, Can Afford To Be Without Building Regulations To Prevent Dark Rooms And Unsanitary Conditions. There is no hardship to anyone in so regulating the future building of all houses intended to contain three or more families as to ensure an open space in the rear, a window for every room, opening either on the street or an open rear or an open court proportioned to height, also water supply, sewer connection and a separate toilet.

Excerpt from Industrial Housing After many years of practical experience in all phases of industrial housing, I feel that those intending to engage in such an enterprise will be interested in a brief survey of the underlying principles which must be grasped in order to arrive at satisfactory results. As Tenement House Commissioner for the State of New Jersey, as a director of the National Housing Association, and in consultation on Town Planning I have been deeply impressed with the importance of a thorough preliminary study of each problem before discussing house plans.

Excerpt from How to Build a Home: The House Practical; Being Suggestions as to Safety From Fire, Safety to Health, Comfort, Convenience, Durability, and Economy One builds a home, as a rule, but once in a lifetime. Unless an architect or builder by profession, he is liable to make serious mistakes, and to overlook many things which would conduce to the comfort and safety of himself and his family. Even if he be an architect or builder, he will do well not to rely entirely upon his own knowledge, but to consult others. While he will be likely to escape oversights in proportion as he has had experience, especially if he has been systematic in preserving notes from time to time of discoveries and details for which the memory cannot be relied upon, it is safe for him to assume that some of his acquaintances, especially if experts, may know some things which he does not.
