Thirteenth Letter.

~ I i + B A r, July 15.-Having
studied attentively some hundreds
Of pages Of Official reports bristling
with statistical information, was fairly
Impressed with the magnitude OF the
Improvement made during the last seven
years by the congested districts board
But, after all, figures are not the most
sfective evidence. The sight of one
trfm, comfortable home where there
had been a wretched howell, or of a
sozen prosperous farms where there had
been empty pastures, carries more con-
yiction than a ream of dry statistics.
I accepted the Official reports as a
matter Of course. learned from them
. hat so many thousand acres had been
purchased from the landlords and re-
sold to the tenants; that so many thou
sand families had been lifted from pow
srty TO independence; that so many
hundreds Of thousands of pounds had
been expended for estates, for road
building. for drainage. for new houses
md other improvements.
Poorer Districts Benefit
These facts were striking, and bore
FufHciept testimony that the poorer dis
riots Of Ireland are benefiting by a
-emarkable economic revolution - the
making of the helpless tenants into
Independent land holders. But until I
stood on Mullaghaduhy HILL near Cas-
:lerea, and looked over that wide. fer
lie plain dotted with the homes of a
hundred families had but family real
zed what the imposing array Of figures
meant. Until then 7 had not under

We came down from the HILL climbed

o the plain. I chose the first house we
cached. It was two stories high, built
strongly Of stone, with slate roof.

1ouses Without Beauty

The government has undertaken q
york so vast that it has deemed it wise
iot to expend energy or money in pro-
ucing artistic dwellings. This seems
pity, for surely there is an Economic
-alue in beauty. and the housing of the
ieople in buildings of such forbidding
,lainness tends to discourage aspira-
ions toward higher things
The house stood about so feet from
he road, the front yard" filed with
rowing cabbages of enormous size. We
iassed around one end, and at the back
