Training Girl. for Housework.
From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune


Bishop Satterlee of Washington. d. c.,
Is not only a devoted and successful
churchman. but a practical social reformer
The mere exposure and denunciation of de-
fective social conditions will never effect
their removal. The ills of society have
their antidote in the good which must re-
place them. One of the notable drawbacks
of American social conditions Is the alb
Sence of trained female servants. The lack
Of training in young women who, with it,
should make successful assist ants to Amer
lean matrons works for ill in more ways
than one. 1t causes endless worry and
loss to housekeepers and infiicts untold in
jury upon numbers of young women whom
it debars from a career as honorable as
that pursued by any bread-winner.
Bishop Satterlee proposes the establish
ment Of a school to give girls special train
ing for domestic service. Some Of Wash
ington's leading women interested in
the bishops plan. among them Mrs. II. G..
Lodge Mrs. N. A. Miles, Mrs. Letter and
Miss Paulding, niece of Senator Depew.
Every city in the country should have one
or more such schools. The solution Of the
servant girl problem lies in such institu-
tions, which would, besides the valued
training impaired, invest the domestic $
occupation with a responsibility inviting
to many girls now deferred from taking it
up by the groundless fear that the fact Of
their being servants may initiate against
their future social standing.
We are all, in truth, servants. The man
or woman does not live who is not. in some
sense, a servant The domestic servant Is
INDISPENSABLE to Il well-ordered home. She
is. as much as any useful member of So
ciety, entitled to respect. Training on the
lines proposed by Bishop Satterlee will not
only add to her usefulness, but strengthen
her title to the genuine regard of all whose
esteem is worth having.

There is serious side to the refusal Of

No one can tell al present how far the

The refusal of the marked men to take

which a Chinaman has declined to execute

much direct British aid or influence. The
Duke of Cornwall will carry to Melbourne
assurances of the Intimate interest of the
crown in the affairs of the commonwealth.
He will doubtless engage in enterprises OF
a political and social nature to suggest to
the people of Australia that the crown feels
akin to these distant subjects. The death
of the queen, so far from preventing this
journey, in itself a departure from the or
binary practice of the English royal family
of late years, has indeed rendered the visit
more advisable than before. for with the
passing Of Victoria has departed an infiu-
ence which has thus far held the colonies
to the crown with grips of steel. 1t is evil
dent that King Edward does not propose
to allow his far-away subjects to feel that
they are likely to be less sympathetically
considered by him than they were by his
mother.

Inspection OF Dd1Fy ~
BY adopting the Dolliver amendment to
the agricultural appropriation bill today the
Senate has taken a step toward preserving
the foreign market, which the American
dairyman has every right to enjoy. The
Doliver proposition Is for rigid inspection
of all dairy products intended for export.
It's purpose is to prevent butter limitations
from being sn.pped abroad as genuine but
ter only to be rejected after trial and test
by the foreign consumer. One of the most
urgent complaints against the present prac-
tice of the makers and exporters of butter
limitations is that they do not hesitate to
ship their goods abroad in the name of the
genuine dairy product. thus depreciating
the value Of the latter in the foreign mar
ket- The double export pail cover has al
ready been described in these columns as
one of the devices of the makers of artificial
products to avoid detection as the goods are
being sent abroad. Under proper system
of governmental inspection it ought to be
Impossible to send out of the country any
article of artificial nature branded as
natural. and it ought furthermore to he
possible to prevent such authorizations as
will eventually destroy the foreign market
for all classes of goods, whether pure or
not. which fall in the least degree under
suspicion. 1t is hard enough to capture the
foreign market at best, and more difficult
still to hold it in the face of the opposition
of foreign governments, without the handi-
cap of fraudulent practices which serve
only to destroy all confidence abroad in the
integrity of any American product. The
Senate having indicated its position with re-
gard to the export trade in dairy products

Delaware Wife Beaters to Be whipped

The recent movement to reduce the scope
of use of the whipping post and pillory in
Delaware, which caused the passage of
certain bills through one branch of the
state legislature. has ultimately resulted in
an enactment in precisely the opposite di-
rection. Not only. has the other house
refused to pass the bill aboishing the pill
lory, but both houses have now passed
bill which awaits the governors signature
ers, who are to receive from five to thirty
lashes. Delaware does not seem disposed
to part with the antique mode of punish
ment. 1t has apparently worked well, even
though it is by some regarded as an obso-
lete, barbarous mode of executing the law.
By general concensus of Judgment, wife
heaters among the most despicable of
characters and deserve severe and humili-
ating treatment. Imprisonment is hardly
fair penalty, for the wife suffers from
the lack of the husbands services Fines
scarcely reach the evil, for the vicious
man is seldom cured by a mere stroke at
| his pocket book, and often the fine reacts
upon the wife. Public humiliation and ply
steal suffering, giving to the offender his
own medicine used to be found most effec-
tive in the days of drastic treatment In the
name of the law. Delaware deserves credit
for standing by her system, even though
it has aroused the antagonism of many who
believe In a general moderation Of the
penal processes.
