“Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn't likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn't remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.” IfsHomeKidsTogetherRememberWorkRoomsTeacherReadySettingSettingsBeerEggsBreakfastInvitesMilkFamily LifeLiving RoomOrderlyHouseworkMuffinsPlowing Author:Letty Cottin Pogrebin

“We have to recognise, that the gin-palace, like many other evils, although as poisonous, is still a natural outgrowth of our social conditions. The tap-room in many cases is the poor man's only parlour. Many a man takes to beer, not from the love of beer, but from a natural craving for the light, warmth, company, and comfort which is thrown in along with the beer, and which he cannot get excepting by buying beer. Reformers will never get rid of the drink shop until they can outbid it in the subsidiary attractions which it offers to its customers.” MenStillsLightEvilSocialNaturalPoorRoomsCompanyCasesConditionsDrinkComfortOffersCustomersAttractionBeerBuyingShopsThrownWarmthCravingPalacesRecognisePoor ManPoisonousReformersGinSocial Conditions Book:In Darkest England and the Way Out Source: In Darkest England and the Way Out
