LET US STATE THE PROBLEM

Let us shut our eves to what exists.

A house: a shelter against heat, cold, ram, thieves and the inquisitive. A receptacle tor light and sun. A certain number of cells appropriated to cooking, work, and personal life.

A room: a surface over which one can walk at case, a bed on which to stretch yourself, a chair in which to rest or work, a work-table, receptacles in which each thing can be put at once in its right place.

The number of rooms: one for cooking and one tor eating. One for work, one to wash yourself in and one for sleep.
