HISTORY ... understanding:
People who do not know the
history of the past are inclined
to think of the world of the pres
ent as a pretty hard place to live
in, and to despair of the future of
the human race. But once it is
nalized how much better off ev
erybody is today than people were
even three or four hundred years
Ego, their outlook changes. If
we have made £o much progress
toward better living in so short
a time, it is reasonable to expect
that our grandchildren and their
grandchildren will have easier
and more comfortable lives than
we have.
The chief value of history is to
make people understand that
most of the romantic talk about
"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 in the sort of filth and
squalor that we nowadays deplore
as the misfortune of the most un
derprivileged group.
The worst tenement houses of
the city slums, which such great
efforts are being made to eradi
cate, are palatial mansions by
comparison with the houses that
even the upper classes lived in in
the "good old days" when Henry
VIII was king of England.
HOUSING . . . 200 years ajjo
I have been lately looking into
the history of housing, in Europe
and America. From the movies
and romantic historical novels it
is easy to get the impression that
our ancestors all lived in beauti
ful ••Colonial" houses or magnifi
cent castles and manor houses.
The plain fact is that most peo
ple, up to 200 years ago, in Eng
land and America, lived in houses
such as we would hardly dignify
by the name of "shacks."
In England, until the rediscov
ery of the process of making
brick, there were no chimneys in
the houses of ordinary people. A
hole in the roof let out the wood
smoke which filled the single
room. The ordinary house was
built by planting posts in the
ground, weaving saplings between
the posts, and filling in the walls
with clay. The roof was of
rushes piled in a thick layer on
poles, and kept from blowing
away by heavy stones. There
were no floors, only beaten earth,
and no windows, in the homes of
most, of our ancestors of 500
years ago.
The houses which the early
American colonists built for
themselves were of much the
same order, or else of "shakes,"
rough boards split out of logs,
since they had no sawmills. I
think the average American to
day Is much better housed than
his forefathers were.
RELIEF progress
In the "good old times" of Hen
ry VIII's reign laws were enacted
forbidding the poor to beg„ and
providing for the collection of a
poor fund by each parish priest.
All idle children over five years
old were required by this law to
be put to work, either at farming
or some handicraft.
Any person who violated the
law against begging was whip
ped. If he was caught begging a
second time he had his right ear
cut off. For a third offense the
punishment was death, "as a
felon and an enemy of the com
monwealth." As set down by one
of the most eminent historians,
"it was the express conviction of
the English nation that it was
better for a man not to live at
all than to live a profitless and
worthless life."
We have come a long way in
our public attitude toward the
unemployed and the poor, in a
matter of 400 years.
VOTES . . . disqualifications
The idea that every citizen is
entitled to a direct vote in the
election of public officials is a
very new one indeed. Down to
less than 100 years ago in most
American states, and still later in
most other nations, none but
owners of property and taxpayers
were allowed to vote. One must
still be a taxpayer to vote In
some of our states on any ques
tion involving the spending of
public funds.
In most states until very re
cently paupers or others support
ed out of the public funds had
no vote. In New Jersey and
Rhode Island that is still true. In
these days, when the largest pub
lic expenditures are for relief,
direct or indirect, it seems to me
to be sowing the seeds of future
political upheavals to let the
beneficiaries of relief share In
and possibly control elections the
result of Which may be to in
crease the payments to them at

the expense of the rest of us.
I am quite in sympathy with
the group -of women of Suffern,
New York, who point out that,
since recipients of relief must
take the "pauper's oath," and all
WPA workers are taken from the
relief rolls, those groups are auto
matically disqualified from voting
in the states where paupers are
disfranchised.
DRINKING ... . warnings
One effect of the repeal of pro
hibition has been the efforts of
brewers and distillers, on an un
precedented scale, to induce peo
ple to drink. Another effect has
been the great revival of the
temperance movement, and the
efforts of some of the boards
charged with administering the
liquor laws to keep people from
making fools of themselves by ex
cessive drinking.
I like the warning pamphlet on
drinking lately issued by the New
York State Liquor Authority. It
reads, in part:
"Watch for these warning
signs:
"If you drink when you are
tired to brace up; if you drink to
escape from worry and trouble;
if you drink when you feel blue;
if you drink in the morning to
pep up for the day; if you find
that taking a drink before lunch
or dinner or at any stated time
has become such a habit that
you feel uncomfortable without
it; if you find that your drinking
is no longer social drinking, but
that you are thinking more of
the drink than of the sociability
and are often drinking by your
self;
"Then it is time to watch out!"
That is commonsense advice.
Nobody who heeds that warning
will become a drunkard.
