Community Building

Bette* America to Result From Good Housing Plan A stronger and better America will result from the movement for better housing and living conditions in this country, according to Shelby M. Harrison of the Russell Sage Foundation in an address. “A strong nation," he continued, “depends to a iatge extent upon wholesome .and healthful living conditions, both in the home and in the neighborhood; and such conditions depend in turn upon the provision of the right • j sort of house in the first place, and in the second place upon the maintenance of high standards of municipal i housekeeping—that is, upon the se- I taring of clean, safe, light and sani- ' j tary surroundings for the homes of ! ( city dwellers, and of those in the i smaller centers as welt" Mr. Harrison's address, which was given under the auspices of the de- ; partment 'of household economics in Teachers college, dealt with methods of improving community conditions, and among other things discussed the ■ social survey as an instrumentality j which has been effectively used to that end. In that connection reference was made to the survey of social and living conditions being undertax- ! en by the Committee on Plan of New York and Its Environs, to the chairmanship of which Frederic A. Delano was recently called upon the death of the late Charles D. Norton. The speaker said: “One of the • problems of the city planners is to determine or predict as accurately as possible future trends in the movement and distribution of people and ! the location and shifting of their economic and social centers of activity throughout neighborhoods, cities and regions. Certain population studies , are therefore of assistance to this end and some have already been undertaken. The committee realizes, how- 1 ever, that many other data on the movement of population will also be 1 . needed, and studies are therefore be- ■ Ing made of building and housing trends as well as industrial and ecoj nomic factors In the distribution of population. “The purpose of city planning Is to make cities convenient, healthful and , attractive places in whi?h people may work, play, learn and otherwise express themselves in well-rounded liv- | ing. City planning, however, is not the only means to this end. Many roads (lead to the desired goal; city plan- , nifig is one. The common objective, j of course, does not put them all in the city planning field.” « Facts on Home Building A recent Washington dispatch mentioned the publication of a. booklet, “How to Own Your Own Homp.*' that may be obtained from the superintendent of documents, government printing office, Washington, for five cents. The booklet is described as the latest of a series of undertakings by the division of building and housing of the Department of Labor. The effort of thitse behind the movement is to bring about greater standardization of building and furnishing materials, so that the cost of manufacture will be lessened. Architects are now planning unit houses, so cpnstructed that after a four-room building has been 4 completed and the family purse is tilled again, two or three rooms can be added and the finished house will still present a pleasing appearance. The publication deals with the question of how much to pay for a bouse, how home owning may be financed general considerations such as location, transportation facilities, character of the neighborhood, house plans how to build, how to pay for a bouse that some one else has built, maintenance costs, etc. On the question of how much to pay for a home the gov eminent have worked out a schedule aceqcyng to salaries, shew Ing how much'a man can well afford to invest whether he receives 12,000 or *IO,OOO a year. Figures on Home Owners Statistics that show the percentage of home owners in the United States, and the revelation made by them prompted the Department of Commerce at Washington to publish such information for public use. In 1900. 461 of every 1.000 families in America owned theiFown homes, while in 1920 the percentage had dropped to 436 in each 1.000. Os the 48 states 20 showed an increase, while the District of Columbia likewise gained. j The ten leading states in respect to home ownership In 1920 were, in order: North Dakota, Wisconsin, South Dakota. Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, Utah, Maine, New Mexico and Michigan. Knockers Are Everywhere hi every community in the world | wherever you go you will find knockers. If a person representing a new idea comes to the “Door of Advancement" and asks them to come forth from the “House of Backwardness." they answer, “Naw. You've a new Idea. (Fwn. We don’t want to associate with you." And why, readers? Simply because they will not try to raise themselves to the level of those above them. They are tn a “rut" j i of their own choosing and are con- ' tent to stay there. —, Utility and Beauty Mr. John Nolen, the city planner, says: “Any city planning that is worthy of the name is concerned primarily with use and only incidentally with beauty, but if there is a reasonably high standard in providing the useful improvements of a town or city, it will be found that utility and beauty are virtually inseparable. Skillful planning should emphasise individuality in a city. It should unfold and perfect its natural characteristics. It should take account of a city’s topography, preserve its natural features.”
