EQUIPMENT of the workers. $4 Sunwise turn (*10s 6d Allen & Unwin) 331.8
“There have already been exhaustive surveys of the physical and economic condition of the workers; and the findings of Booth and Rowntree have almost become classical. It was plainly necessary, however, to have these surveys supplemented by an inquiry far more inward and intimate into the mind and the outlook of the workers. What are they thinking? What are they living for? Do they read? If so, what? ‘The equipment of the workers’ gives us the answer to these and the like questions. The inquiry was planned and carried out by a group of workers at a Y. M. C. A. settlement in Sheffield; and it deals exclusively with Sheffield conditions. The finding of the group is that 25 per cent of the workers are well equipped, 60 per cent inadequately equipped, and 15 per cent ill equipped. The body of the book consists of a detailed record of the results of the inquiry in 408 typical cases.”—Nation
