Soldiers’ Homes.

It is a truism that “the home is the basis of Society,” but as to what kind of a basis the homes of a nation form for, its social life depends on the homes themselves. The provision of dwelling-places so essential to the Consti-

tution of homes is intimately connected with town planning, and the fact that the recent Town Planning Conference enjoyed a large measure of public sympathy is proof that the hands of the Government will be strengthened in the action which is being taken to enable

returned soldiers to acquire fit dwellings for themselves and their families. An illustration of two soldiers’ homes erected in Australia provided by the State Government is shown on this page, together with two “Ideal” homes which were on view at the last Brisbane Town Planning Conference.
