Seller's Description:
Fair. 24 cm. xx, [2] 198, [4] pages. Illustrations. Footnotes. Appendices. Boards somewhat soiled and worn. Pencil erasure on front endpaper. This work is divided into two parts: The Factual Findings are by Miles Lanier Colean; The Program for Action was authored by The Housing Committee and is presented in Chapter 7, Conclusions and Recommendations. Fep signed by the following members of the Housing Committee: Henry E. Hoagland, Chairman (Professor); Lillian M. Gilbreth (Professor--considered to be the first industrial/organizational psychologist and mother in Cheaper By The Dozen); Henry I. Harriman (Chamber of Commerce); Arthur C. Holden (Architect); John A. Lapp (International Building Trades Union); and William I Myers (Farm Credit Administration). Also signed by the author, Evans Clark (Fund Executive Director) and J. Frederic Dewhurst (Fund Economist). Not signed by Members Frank P. Graham (President, UNC) and Raymond Unwin (British Housing Authority, member until his death). In March 1940 The Twentieth Century Fund began a survey of the housing situation in the United States. The Trustees of the Fund were convinced that revival and expansion in this field promised greater employment and general recovery than in any other. The world situation changed, and the Housing Committee and the Trustees shifted to prepare an emergency report on housing as related to national defense. This Volume is the result. Its review of the experience of the First World War and its attempt to development for foresight for the immediate future, were hoped to be useful. This report was undertaken with the knowledge and interest of the Advisory Commission to the council of National Defense. Because this survey was intended to be useful to government agencies considerable emphasis has been placed upon government policies in relation to defense housing. The report, however, is also based on the assumption that private interests must play a major role in meeting defense housing needs.
