SCHOOL FOR SERVANT
In London Agitation Is Being Started
for Establishing such IN
Institution

1t is a significant fact that
though there are, according to the
last census, considerable over
100000 domestic employees in the
metropolitan area, there is not in
the whole OF the eiaUOrate and
costly system OF educational
training which the LOnuOn (EngJ
county council has under its con
troll a single school Or even class
for training young girls for domes-
tic service.
Let a maiden aspire to be type
writer, a clerk, a dressmaker or Il
music teacher and a hundred
doors are eagerly opened to her.
She is not only free to enter, but
sue is implOred to come in, and in
order that she may find things
quite pleasant nice little dances
and evening parties are arranged
for her benefit.
Good domestic service is not
only the healthiest occupation
chat a girl of humble parents can
adopt, but it is the best paid.
Compare the position of a girl
who goes to a city Office or teashOp
every day and that of a maid in a
suburban household. One gets
possibly S. or Sc a week and has to
end herself in everything and TO
defray the cost of getting to and
from her business in addition.
So far as real independence is
concerned there is no sort of com
parisOn between "the young lady"
who is at the beck and call of an
iraseible superintendent in a place
df business and a hOusemaid who
gets out once on Sunday and one
evening a week and'has an entire
day of every month, with a fort
nights holiday in the summer.
Whatever it may once have been,
domestic service is today the most
lucrative and certain of all forms
.6f female employment. To ignore
1t, az our technical training sys-
TEN practically does, is to accen-
fuate the mischievOus, vulgar
3rejudices which set the work
tngman against home employment
fOr his daughters as slavish and
herOgatOry to their independence.
