Saturday Night + * 1 TODAY and TOMORROW || (By Jb rariK Parker Stockbridge) | HISTORY . . undersstandiug I People who do not know the his-' tary of the past are inclined to think of the world of the present ap a pret ty hard place to live in, and to despair of the future of the human raoa 'But office it is realized how rrmr.h r?flf nvt>rvhft/1w i? t.ndnv ? ? W W than people were even three or four hundred years ago, their - outlook changes. If we have made so much progress toward bettei? living' in so snort a time, it is reasonable to expect that our grandchildren and their grandchildren will have easier and more comfortabJe lives than we have. The chief value of history ia to make people understand that most of the romantic talk afnuit "the good old times" is pure bunk. They were very bad old times, from any modern point of view, when even kings and noblemen lived m the. sm c of filth and squalor that w-> nowadays di |Jore as the muVw'.ur..? of :he roost u derprivi! * gioup. The worst *<rue,u 'Ut liouscs of the "!ty slums, wh.ih such gresi : ts are being, made to eradicate, are pa Iatial mansions by comparison with the houses that even the upper class es lived in in the "good old days" when Henry VIII was king of Eng and. HOUSING . . 200 years ago I have been lately looking into the .ustory of housing, in Europe and A morion T^TYmi the movies and ro I 4 A1U\ * * i . JL VMA m rn m ? - mantic historical novels it is easy to getr the impression t hair our ahee&ors all lived in beautiful "Colonial'' nouses or magnificent castles and manor houses. The plain fact is thnt most people, up U) 200 years ago, m England and America, lived in houses.such as we would hardly dig iiify by the name of "shacks." In England, until the rediscovery jf the process of making brick tbeie were no chintneys in the hoi.S1-* in ?f ordinary people. A bole in the roof let out the wood smoke which filled the single, room. The ox Humry bouse was built by planmg post^ in the ground,weaving saplings MwMi the posts, and filling in the walls with clmy. The roo f was of I rir-hWB piled in a thick layer on poles, and kept from blowing av nv by heavy stones. There were no floocty only beaten earth, and no windows in the homes of most of our nr.iw.khiist of 500 years ago. n?v? ? _ f%9 WoM whieli the enr1/ Amcri an eoloniiftt hnilt for themselves *ere of much the same order, or of "abates," rough boards sp'J.t o?t cf logs, since there were no sawmills I :* 'DK the average American to lay is much better housed than !j*4 fo?e failitos were. RELIEF ? progress In the "good old times' of Hcrry VIll's reigti laws were enacted for osddin.j the poor to beg, nnl proyid ing for the collection of a poor fund ,?y each parish priest. All idle child reii over five years old were required Dy this law to be put to woris, either at 7aiming or some handicraft. Any person who violate 1 the Jaw against begging was whipped. If ho was caught begging a second time he had his right ear cnt off. For a third offense the punishment was death, 4'as u felon and an enemy of the commonwealth.' 7 As set down by one .kof the most eminent historians, f,it was the express conviction of the l^glish nation that it was better for ! a man not to live at all thafi to live a profitless and worthless life". ' We have come a long way in our public attitude toward the unemploy cd M,nd the poor, in a matter of 400 years. VOTES . . . disqualifications j The idea that every citizen is eu i titled to a (direct vote in the election of public officials is a very new one indeed. Down to lefcs than 100 years ' fcgo in most American states, and ' Slill latter in most other nations,none But property owners and taxpayers L were allowed to vote.
