Arthur E. Buchholz read Theodore Roosevelt’s recent editorial, “Morals and Other Things,” with interest. Roosevelt’s quotation of a report which Buchholz helped write led him to wonder if Roosevelt’s experience informing the other parts of his article might allow him offer suggestions on an issue that he is currently studying–the problem of living conditions in smaller communities. Buchholz is currently working alone, but is trying to get volunteers in the various small communities to help him with administering surveys, and hopes to be able to inspire legislative action to establish housing inspectors.
