THE HOUSING PROBLEM.
That men, women, and children should be crowded into insufficient house accommodation is not only antagonistic to the humanitarian spirit of our time and country, but is a clanger to the public health and a bar to social, moral, and physical development. Such conditions are utterly inexcusable from whatever point of view we regard them, and justify any intelligent public action which may eradicate them. To permit overcrowding under circumstances injurious to health is to permit "slums," remarks the Auckland "Herald," and this cannot be allowed in any city which claims to be Christian and aim.B at being progressive.
