that woman has taken tremendou,
strides in advance in the past cen
tury; too tremndous. perhaps, to be
entirely graceful. But It needs an
occasional graphic statement to make
us realize just what she has done.
In the days of Harriet Martineau
there were but seven occupations for
women; now there are but seven In
which they are not engaged, said Mrs.
Alice Palmer in her address on
Fields for Women" at the graduating
exercises of the Y. w. c. A. school OF
domestic science and Christian work
at Boston recently. Massachusetts
alone in one generation has been com.
pletely made over industrially. com
mercially and economically Men can
no longer carry on business as their
fathers did. or even as their brothers
did. Change, and change which has
brought complexity. is the order ev.
erywhere, and those changes have had
their effect upon the home and upon
women, increasing the domestic prob
lem.
There is nothing so interesting.
nothing which requires so many sorts
.of education. Mrs Palmer continued,
as the management of the modern
home In fact the test of education is
getting to be how much one knows
about living, the ability. as one phil
osopher puts It, to see large things
large and small things small.
Mrs Palmer told the girls that there
exists for them If they will but take II
a practically new profession, as the
need for scientifically trained. far.
sighted women, women OF experience
and administrative ability, in the
household department of schools,
asylums, prisons. and institutions of
every sort, was never so great as now.
Trained nursing and superintendent.
cies of training schools for nurses
were other fields of work suggested as
needing especially the services OF
trained women. When women have |
learned to apply scientific principles
to their cooking, to sleep with fresh |
air in their rooms, and in general to |
cultivate for themselves and their
families sane mind in a sane body
the land will cease to be dotted with
and the Goth century
woman will have met her opportunity.
