We knew it was comingl Just as We
we're ready to say something in this
weeks letter about the "mistress and
maid" or 'servantgirl problem" here
comes along the Sunny South and takes
the wind out of our sail. The article il
a good one, from the pen of Mrs. IT. W.
Greene. She suggests among othe,
things that every town in every county
ought to have school for the training
of domestic servants. Take the money
that is now wasted in Latin and algebra
and use it in teaching them to cook
wash and sew and do general house
work." and goes on to say "that the
school ought to be managed by the bes,
white women of the community" We
do not think this plan practicable, but
we do argue in that we "need good
housekeepers in order to have good ser
wants." The trouble is that housekeep
ers generally do not demand or require
good service. The majority of house
keepers allow domestic service done in q
loose haphazard fashion, utterly void Of
system, rarely planning or giving 6
moments forethought to days work
The good housekesper must train her
self, must plan her days work carefully
without crowding it and above all see tc
it's execution. We knew little woman
whose domestic affairs were like clock
work, so careful was the arrangement OF
every. detail. She studied it as man
would his business, and was said to have
more irons in the fire than any woman in
the community. But why dwell upon
this Gordian knotp' Every family
should be training school for them
and our opinion is that the 'he that con.
trolleth his tongue" or "taketh city''
is not in it compared to her who man.
