    Discusses the problem of rehousing the inhabitants of slums. Agrees with the proposal to put them in 'Model Lodging Houses' but insists that such a term is patronising to the lower classes and does not respect the fact that they have the 'same number of members' and the 'same passions and feelings' as the higher classes.
