Every Misery Due to Woman's

Mothers Not Fit to Care for

"Man Has to Make Money to

Her Tabloid Wisdom.
By MARGUERITE MOoERS
MARSHALL.

Of love and marriage, of chill
dren and the home, of men and
women, and the queer criSScross
tangled Web of relations between
them, Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gil
man, who wrote "A Mdn-Mdde
World," is again discoursing. While
ne dWait the verbal fireworks sure
to ILumine her present series of
lectures on "Mdsculism" Gil
mdn-ndde pord-Ue can still find
interest in recalling her recent
analysis of Feminism, With its cpl
grams ranging from Cupid to cook

ranged for you some of these tab
loid theories of our most startling
social economist.

Mrs. Gilmans undoubted specially.

/ put this self-same question to Mrs.
Gilman very often.
But one of her first revolutionary
statements she holsters I'D with the
authority of Prof. Lester F. Ward,
gist.
Prof Ward she saws. has
shown the falsity of the age-Iong
concept Of the human mind that
man is the race type and woman
merely his female. He has shown
that woman was the original human
organism and the male but a later
addition. And since the time when
male and female human types be-
came separate co-equA entities. the
male has developed very little while
the female has developed with rich
and varied diversity Of functions
"The order nammelia is the high
est form of human life and we, the
female, are the order mammnlia
and the female only"
But We needn't be too "set-up"
over IL. for Mrs. Gilman admits that
il wasn't long before a change came
in the basic relationship between the
sexes. 1t occurred, she explains,
when the power of motherhood be-
came profitable thing to the male.
Degraded Human Love.
He was taken in as a sort OF extra
child. and he has continued TO profit
by that service of motherhood ever
since Nowhere else in animal ex-
istcnce do we find such dependence
of the male on the females service.

Standard of Baby Culture.
The "Babygarten" is Mrs. Gilman's
final radical suggestion.
There are any number of good
reasons why a mother should not
have entire charge of Eer babies,
the writer maintains. Tn the first
pace every woman hasn't the talent
of understanding children. Secondly,
rearly every woman lacks the special
education needed, and third, and
most important, is the fact that as
long as each Individual mother takes
care of her own children no body OF
women willing to give their lives TO
the study of children are going to
be able to get any experience.
