Excerpt from Model Factories and Villages: Ideal Conditions of Labour and Housing
N the following pages are set forth practical ex amples of what successful business men have found it worth while doing to promote the moral and Social welfare of their employees, in the hope of provoking others to like good works. The various industrial betterment schemes described are not advanced as theoretical recommendations, or as the creations of the philanthropist, but as the actual experience of money-making men.
Each business has so far its own peculiarities and possibilities that it would be impracticable, as well as impertinent, for an outsider to urge this or that step on any particular firm. Those employers into whose hands this volume may fall can themselves be the only judges as to which of the ideal conditions described it may be possible for them to secure for their employees. But all may recognize and act upon the principle which underlies the whole.
