D FULTON Winnetka Ill f The greatest problem in relation to the operation of the home is is obtaining obtaining obtaining ob ob- someone to assist the housewife in doing the necessary work Inability to obtain assistance is not because of lack of compensation nor of proper working conditions There There arc are plenty of women who would be glad to work in the home if it were not for the social stratum to which they were relegated Many ran excellent cooks arc are working in stores shops factories and il d offices because of the accepted difference in social ocial position between girls who work in such places and girls who work in homes homei I Work fork in the home should be classed ca as the highest form of employ employ- ment The making and maintenance of the tho home is the principal object of all m men n and women The wife wit is is' responsible for the tIle conduct of the home the same as the husband is responsible for fOJ the conduct of his busi- busi ness The reason for shortage of help hep in ix Jl the home is chargeable in most instances to the manager of the homo home The hc man occupies a position of authority as a 0 rule because of his ability to direct others The wife is placed in charge of the home for other reasons with the result that the foreman of the house knows less about its m management and the work to be bedone bedone bedone done than the employee who is assisting I suggest that in trying to solve the problem of assistance in the home we start by educating ourselves The solving of the problem of how to operate the home is squarely up to the wife To solve this problem problem lem lent satisfactorily she must learn to do dd the work in the home and in addition addi addi- tion on learn how bow to intelligently direct others |
