attempting solution by putting her
men in the kitchen and her women In
business, the Eastis seeking in educa-
tion a panacea for her bous ehod
cares. In more than one state al
ready there Is an effort to so.ve the
ervant problem by employing as
houscgirls and cooks educated and
cultured young women. The theory
Is that many of these. unable TO find

In their z God sense prefer TO eat ana

abe competence, rather than sit idle,
differing or contcnding with the
rough seas on the outside.
This may be true In part, and, with
proper notifications OF customs and
conditions, there is no good reason
why It may not be made generally
the rule. Except that It Is real work.
there Is no reason why any young
woman should feel repugnance to-
ward any domestic duties. Cooking,
indeed, IL II be done properly, be
comes an art, and To many a most at
tractive exercise OF intelligence and
info rmation. Housework is prob
ably more circumsc ribed in its ar
tistic limitations, but it can be made
far less obnoxious than 1t has become
by practice. But that which seems
most Objectionable in this connection
Is not so much the work, but the rela-
tive social standing OF the girl in SER
vice and the girl In shop, off ice or
facto ry.
Upon tbis.point the New York Jour
nal argues that In the very fact OF
education and proper culture Is the
remedy. II holds, and most plausibly.
that the status OF the house servant
can be changed just as that OF the
nurse has been. when nurses were

education, with especial professional
qualifications, young women OF every
rank OF life become nurses.
II schools of domestic science were
established, where a woman could OBJ
tain a thorough training as cook,
bousemaid or general servant, and re
ceive a diploma when graduated, the
Journal thinks different standing
would be given to domestic service
and doubtless, superior class OF
women would be attracted 20 It.
They would be treated as nurses
areas equals having a strictly busi-
ness relation to the family. They
need neither "sit in the kitchen" nor
"be called by their christian names.r
Suitable rooms would be assigned
them. and they could be addressed as
other young ladies are.
There is nothing inherently leg rad
ing In bousework, but domestic ser.

THE PEOPLE RULE NOW


ticians are day by day losing their
hold upon tn people. IL is no longer
the case that a little coterie Of one
horse politicians can get together in
some dark office at the county seats
and determine what shah be done ia
the way Of offices and candidates.
They may,bowever, agree as To what
they want, but their plans are liekly
to miscarry. The people, that is the
voters, have Of late been studying
the matter for themselves. Pohti-
clans Of all parties are met with the
fact that the people must be consulted
in reference to all these things.
