MOW CHEAP HONE
MAY AFFECT MEN
NEW YOKE COMAUSSiONKS
POINTS our MANY
GOOD REASONS
During one of his campaigns for
presidency the late Benjamin Harris
son uttered an epigram which made
him the target of much criticism.
He said, “A cheap coat makes a
cheap man,” and this statement,
.chich was intended to epitomize his
views on the protective tariff, was
twisted into meaning that people
vhose clothes were cheap were pur
chasable.
This was not true says Jdohn J.
Murphy, New York City’s Tenement
House Commissioner an it would be
no more true that bad housing made
bad citizens under all circumstances.
But next to an adequate and un
wholesome food supply, poor hous
ing does stand as the most deleter
ious element in our civict life. San
itary research shows how important
is the reaction of adequate light
and ventilation on the health, stam
ina and moral character of individu
al. Bad housing furnishes the
fruitful nurseries of disease germs
i of all kinds, while at the same time
creating conditions which prevent
the building up of resistance to
their inroads.
There can be no question that
she three great scourges of mankind
—disease, powerty and crime—are
in a large measure due to bad hous
;ng in its broadest sense. Intem
perance in many of its most repug
nant forms may be traced to the
fact that so many citizens are oblig
ed to live in homes in which they
can take neither pride nor comfort
and which makes the saloon seem
desirable by contrast.
Bad housing is especially detri
mental in its consequences to the
children reared under its influences
of environment can never be erad'
eated
The need for the erection of !ns
Mtutions for the blind and hospital
for the child victims of tuberculosis,
spinal miningitis and other diseases
f like sharacter is greatly intensi
fied by bad home conditions. The
employe living in a house inade
luately lighted and ventilated is
unable to perform his task with pro
oer energy and intelligence. Wo
men compelled to live in such houses
developed tendencies to irritability
vhich frequently lead to family dis
ruption.
Bad housing tends to increase the
ax burdens of a community by re
quiring larger expenditures for re
medial service, which might other
wise be eliminated. The lack "<•
proper cleanleness and decency in
the exterior and interior of houses
tends to reduce the self-respect of
the occupants.
Note how eagerly the family
which has slightly Improved
its financial standing seeks build
ings with more attractive exteriorsd
nd better decorated room*. It will
also be found that as family des
cend in the social scale, one of the
pangs most keenly felt is the neces
sity for the occupancy of quarters
in buildings whose general appear
ance indicates that they are oc
cupied by the miserably poor.
It may be said, therefore, that
ther_ is no plane of human exist
ence in society which the housing
question does not touch. There is
no form of vice,crime, debilitv or
shiftlessness which bad housing does
not tend to nurture. “Keeping up
appearances” is often decried, and
deserves much of the reproach castd
upon it when it simply means un
rnted extravagance to maintain
a position which one’s does not jus
tify, but among the poor it is an
ever present aid to the maintenanc
of self-respct, aiid is to be encoure
ged rather than decried.
Water power is used to produce
electricity in Switzerland to such an
extent that in some places not an
ounce of coal is burned.
