IDA N, TARBELL ON THE
HOMELESS DAUGHTER"

Ida M Tarbell, writing Of The
Homeless Daughter" in the American
Magazine, makes the following com
ments on the girl who leaves home
and goes outnto the world to earn liv-
ing:
The gnawing loneliness Of the girl
who has left home to make her way is
one Of the most fruitful causes Of the
questionable relations which weII.born
girls form more often than society re-
aIizes. The girl seizes eagerly every
chance tor companionship or pleasure
Her keen need Of ii makes her over
appreciative and under critical. More
over, she has the confidence Of igno-
rance. Most American girls are
brought up as if wrong-doing we're i'm
possible to them. Nobody has ever
suggested to them that they have the
possibility of all crimes in their
makeup. Parents and teachers ordi.
nariIy have extraordinary skill in
evading, but little in facing, the facts
Of life.
'Disarmed by her ignorance, the
girl goes out to a freedom such as no
country has ever before believed it
safe or allow the young, either boy or
girl. This freedom is Of course the
logical result of what we call the
emancipation Of women. It is the
swinging Of the pendulum from the
old system Of chaperonage and author.
ity The weak point is in the fact
that the girl has not knowledge
enough for her freedom. 1t is not {
return Of the old system Of guarec
girls which is needed. That is i'm
possible under modern conditions, ou
Of harmony with modern ideas
The great need is that women Of tn,
country realize that freedom uneccom
panied by knowIege is one of the mos
dangerous tools that can be put into
a human beings hands. The reIuctanc,
. Of women to face this fact is the mos
discouragng side Of the woman cues
