MRS. PHILIP lEWlSOHNS IDEA.
Certainly" said Mrs. Philip Lewisohn
in answer to the question Are SCHOOLS
for houseworkers good thing "ltspos
sible to have a domestic training school
that teaches standardized homework. Just
as business schools teach office work.
House duties are specific and should be
taught in the best way. like office duties.
Servants would be taught their work
as a definite business for which there is
a demand and that their position would
depend on their skill. A recognized stand
ard of homework would bring the whole
profession TO a dignifed position. do away
with the stigma of servant and give
houseworkers a social status.
And il would Gust the useless ones.
The ornamental display OF liveried super
numeraries in very rich households would
cease to provide US with a commentary
on the best use of the wealth Of a de
mocracy. Standardized homework would
teach self-respect and direct purpose 10
houseworkers and their sensible adjust
ment TO her home needs to the housewife.
