Excerpt from The Dwellings of the Poor and Weekly Wage-Earners in and Around Towns The contrast of construction in the movable tent of the Arab and the solid-terraced house of the Hebrew might also furnish suggestions for the housing of the masses in the twentieth century. Movable camps under strict govern ment control, 'with administrative, organizing and educating agencies, might be the means of usefully transferring a portion of the submerged population of our large towns into the depopu Iating counties of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Such communities might be trained to assist the farmers at moderate wages, or themselves produce valuable results from the land. Nomadic at first, they might give rise to a successful series of permanent and pros perous rural settlements.
