HOUSING AND EDUCATION.
LIMITATION OF LABOUR. According to Mr Henry Arthur Jones, who writes in the English Review on “Bernard Shaw as a Thinker,’ flic shortage of housing accommodation in England is largely due to “a false and vicious system of popular education, which for two generations has increasingly trained a largo number of our workers to hate manual labour, so that our bricklayers have been laying no more than 850 bricks a day. If we desire that our working classes shall be comfortably and healthily housed, the very plain way to secure that end is to cease our vain lamentations about the slums, and to educate a sufficient number of our boys in such a way that they will be ready and willing to build the houses and to perform other kindred manual labours of national necessity. We arc cruelly cheating our workers in the quality and kind of the popular education we are giving them.
