Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Industry: In Relation to the Family, Health Education, Morality Modern industry affords, in more generous measure tan the human race has before known them, all those goods which form the material basis of family life - food, clothing, shelter, and the materials and opportunities for subsistence for husband, wife and children. But modern industry tends to disintegrate the family, so threatens it that the civilized nations are, and for at least one generation have been, actively building a code intended to save the family from this destructive pressure. This is the paradox of Modern Industry. It is my object to illustrate this paradox by indicating some forms of the pressure of industry upon the family, and upon each of its elements.
