Teach Proper Housing.
Cincinnati is said to be doing more to solve the problem of the careless tenant than any other city in the United States. This is being carried on through a better housing league. The Ohio city put into effect the first systematic plan for teaching housing in the public schools, it is declared. Three visiting housekeepers are at work in various districts of the city. Each has a district small enough so that she can get to all the houses in her territory frequently. She gets in touch with the owner, explains the work, seeks his co-operation, and asks in return for her services that he make reasonable repairs that she may recommend.
It is not claimed by the league that the visiting housekeepers will revolutionize conditions in a day or a year. What is being accomplished, it is stated, is so satisfactory that the league hopes to gradually extend the work so that it may reach every tenant in the city.
