[The Iron Puddler by James J. Davis]@TWC D-Link bookThe Iron Puddler CHAPTER XLIX 1/19
.
CONCLUSION. H.G.Wells has asked all scholars to unite in writing a "Bible of the New Education." I am no scholar, but if Wells will take suggestions from an iron puddler, I offer him these random thoughts. This generation is rich because the preceding generation stored up lots of capital.
We are living in the houses and using the railroads that our fathers built by working overtime. When labor loafs on the job it makes itself poor.
We are not building fast enough to keep ourselves housed.
Were it not for the houses our fathers built this generation would be out-of-doors right now, with no roof but the sky. No matter who owns the capital, capital works for everybody.
