Excerpt from The Housing Problem: A Summary of Conditions and Remedies Prepared to Accompany the Housing Exhibit in May, 1911, of the Harvard Social Museum
Recent housing surveys, especially in English and American cities, have disclosed conditions of living needlessly bad. The dwelling-places in which men spend at the least their eating and sleeping hours, in which women and children spend often half and sometimes all of their time, are for millions of people congested, dark, ill-ventilated, unsanitary, combustible, ugly.
