Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study in Social and Industrial Problems: Being the Report of the Outer London Inquiry Committee
The report has been compiled by Mr. E. G. Howarth, Head of the House for Residents in connection with Trinity College, Oxford, at Stratford, and by Miss Mona Wilson, appointed as investigator by the sub-committee. Mr. C. P. Sanger, Assistant Professor of Economics at University College, London, has been responsible for the statistical methods employed.
The Object of the sub-committee has been to single out for investigation those conditions which were most likely to exhibit features peculiar either to West Ham or to extra metropolitan areas generally. Other questions, however im portant in their bearing on the lives of the industrial classes, have been considered to fall outside the scope of this report.
NO study, for example, has been made of household budgets, as this subject has been already dealt with by Mr. Rowntree, Dr. Noel Paton, and others, and the results of such an inquiry in West Ham would be unlikely to differ materially from those in other districts with a population of the same grade.
