UOTISFS FOR THE POOR.

The prise essay OF the American Economic Assocla
ton for 1892 by Marcus Reynolds, and was upon
"The Housing OF the Poor In American cues III
has now been published by the association III a pam
phet of 1872 pages. Mr.. Reynolds has done excellent
service by collecting within single volume the opin
ions and the results OF investigation scattered IN
vast number OF periodicals. Even those familiar with
the subject could hardly be expected TO keep all It's
aspects I'm view. While the essayist's main purpose
was the study OF smahousc and tenenent-hoaSc HE
In American ctes, he has Illustrated bis Theme from
observations Of foreign writers. Several pages OF
photography give inking OF the worst dincuitles
OF the theme from the mere student point OF view.
The author discusses the unhealthfn dwellings OF the
mast and present particularly the tenement houses OF
New-York and outlines the reforms that have ALREADY
been accomplished undertaken. lie analyses the
income expenditure Of the working classes points
out the moral and physical dangers OF ovcrtrowding
suggests what and what cannot be done by legis
lation and then in series OF chapters discusses re-
forms that have been accomplished. lie Is sometimes
BETRAYED into accepting opinions strongly stated as
they had been demonstrated. for example. quoting
with approval the assertion Of somebody that the one
room tenement cause OF certain nameiess
crimes. Such an assertion Is pure conjecture and IL
Is oontradcted by the experience Of races that
have maintained high standard OF virtue In one
room cabins for ages The crowded tenement Is
friehtful enough without casting this shadow upon IT,
Mr. Reynolds's suggestion is that cheap, independent
houses In the suburbs will attract those workers VINO
can afford live distance from their places oi
work. OF course the cost Of travel figures largely
in this matter. He points also that houses SUIT
able for this class OF people increasing WITHIN he
limits Of w-York and Brooklyn. For the poorer
people he would have model tenements with a gen
eral Kitchen To the cook in charge each family
would send the list OF things desired. and these wono
be furnished ready for the table. For the homeless
Door he would have model lodginghonses. Inc doom
is illustrated with plans and elevations, generally u
hov.es which have already been tested and found
uspful.
