Perhaps one reason why American
born girls prefer to work in factories at
starvation wages rather than work in
kitchens and be comfortable is that while
in school they studied the same DECLARE
ton of independence as their brothers
did. Whether that old document tells the
truth or not, it has made of our boys and
girls something that does not willingly
have inferiority rubbed into them.
One never stops to wonder that our
young men will dig bitches rather than
become Wallets or buffers or footmen, even
though they might have more comfort
