A CLUB FOR SERVANT GIRLS.
Boston's Method of TackIing a Seriou
Problem.
From the Housekeeper


A Boston idea is the club for servant
girls which has recently been opened in
the heart of the prosperous Back Bay dis
trict. The announced object is ito pro-
mote mutual respect between employers
and employees, to impress on the master
and mistress that the servant has certain
rights and must be treated with due re-
and interests of their employers" One
rolled as members, and eight hundred fam
lilies have promised their support and
pledged themselves in the future to en-
gage only members of the club for service
in their homes. While the primary object
OF the club is to establish more friendly re-
lations between servant and employer it
is also intended to provide the girls with
can entertain their friends, develop their
moral and social status and find agree
able and harmless recreations
As a philanthropic institution, designed
to make happier one of the most useful
classes of workers in the community, the
servant girls club wisely conducted ap-
pears an admirable idea. Workers in fac
often provided by their employers with SIM
liar means for improvement and recreation,
but servant girls have not enjoyed such
advantages. No fault can be found with
the club when organized for such purposes
But as means of solving the servant
problem" we have little faith in it. The
question is one that must be settled by the
and desire on each side to do the right
thing will help in its solution. Practicing
the principle of the Golden Rule would set
tie the question tomorrow.
