Excerpt from The Diary of a Housing ManagerDiaries are maintained by people in a variety of fields: thus, every ship's captain keeps a daily log, military heads submit daily records to their superiors, high executive officials file day-by-day reports. These daily accounts are necessary to build a permanent store of information and to help in fixing responsibilities. In the field of social welfare, a form similar to the diary has been developed as a tool of research and has usefully served the needs of both students and investigators.The Diary of a Housing Manager does not comply with any definite set of rules in regard to its form. It is offered primarily for the information on one type of housing management which it con tains. Information on housing management, unfortunately, is meager. The experience in European countries is not always readily available in English, while that of the United States has been for the most part gained by private commercial enterprises and is not recorded in any easily accessible form. Any material on housing management, there fore, becomes a desirable contribution to students of the subject.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
