In the isolated household those cares and lsOors,

They prevent them from engaging IN higher pursuits,
in the arts sciences and Productive INDUSTRY, render
them pecunsiily dependent on man, and reduce them
to the condition Of mere domestic drudges.
In every poiut of vew-n tina. of political economy,
hygiene, ethics it is most important problem to OK
eaLize on true principles the Domestic system.
10 treat thoroughly the subject oil true domestic
organisation would require regular treatise; We can
merely glance q. il. AS estimated there would be
on the DOMAIN, in the beginning, about 800 persons
cay the equivalent of 30 families nder the present
system tins number would require 30 kitchens, 30
women ut least to do the cooking, many fires aud
tets of cooking utensils and as many separate market
