HOUSEHOLD RESEARCH.
Address by Miss Kellor Of Education
Association


Miss Frances A. Kellor, director of the
internlunicipal committee on household re-
search of the Public Education Association.
made an address yesterday before the local
branch OF the Council Of Jewish Women at
the Eighth Street Temple Miss Keilor
was introduced by Rev. Louis Stern OF the
Washington Hebrew Congrega ton, who
said:
THE domestic problem is not new one
to the Jewish people. The subject of house.
hold management is treated In mastery
manner in the thirty-frst chapter OF Pro-
verbs. Here is presented the ideal woman.
and among her virtues it Is stated that she
has no fear of snow for her household.
That being the case. / am sure that every
one here who has braVed the elements to
hear Miss KeIlor is an ideal woman"
1.-The supply of domestic servants comes
from two sources. the negroes and the i'm
migrants, Miss kellor said. We must
understand the conditions before we can
remedy the situation The compulsory
education law and the child labor law are
not properly enforced in the case of the
immigrant girl who is often taken directly
from the steamer to a place OF employment.
Inefficiency and untruthfulness are the
greatest defects of the majority Of serv-
ants. Both are largely the result of the
methods used by the employment agencies
whose influence on the servant problem is
simply incalcuable The lack of a fixed
standard of efficiency on the part of the
employers is another great difficulty In the
way OF a solution of the problem
Miss kelior discussed housing conditions
among servants, and said that they were
wholly inadequate and responsible for much
that is deplOrable In the conduct of many
of the servants.
