Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Sanction for a Living Wage: A Compilation of Data From Official and Authoritative Sources
Absolute control Of the health of the individual can never be the function of the State. Control of the conditions under which the lives of the people shall be lived and their energies expended is an inevitable necessity. The State will approach this problem from the standpoint of self-preservation. Defective health is the tounda tion of crime, pauperism and degeneracy, as well as that widespread inefficiency due to Obvious disease.
