A great need is for as good rooms to be furnished in the suburbs where more light and air may be had.
The content of the country house costing $5000 to $10,000 will be approximately 50,000 to 70,000 cubic feet, or 10,000 for a person.

The suburban block will furnish about 12,000 to 20,000 for the family, while the city apartment of six so-called rooms renting for from $400 to $500 a year shrinks to 6000 to 8000 cubic feet, giving only one tenth the air-space the country house affords, as well as far less outside air and sunshine.

The best city tenements cost $1 a week for 600 cubic feet air-space.

What wonder that the sanitarian is aghast at the prospect! According to the President of the English Sanitary Inspectors' Association it seems probable that if the nineteenth-century city continues to drain the country of its potentially intellectual class and to squeeze them into smaller and smaller quarters, it will dry up the reservoirs of strength in the population (address, Aug.

18, 1905).
The houses of the Morris Building Co., illustrated in Chapter II, show what may be done.
