MOTHERS TO HAVE
HALF HOLIDAY
Such Is the Proposition Made by
Welfare Worker for Lon
don'S Very Poor.
[From The TrIbune correspondent. ]

London, July 3O.-Half holidays for
housewives, advocated by Mrs. Nathan
Raw, of the Liverpool Central School
for Mothers, at recent conference on
child welfare has been received with
enthusiasm by many social workers
and organizers of babies welcomes.
The early closing movement, as it
has been called, is to give lockers and
artisans wives visions of the day when
they will be able to place printed
card in the front parlor window an
nouncing their half day off. A good
deal Of sympathy for it has been
aroused among Liverpool's hard work.
ing mothers, but experts" are bound
TO come along TO point out some OF tue
flaws Of such movement.
II. Lee Jones, founder of the League
of Welldoers and one of the pest
known social workers in Liverpool,
says that it is a beautiful idea in
theory, but that all sorts Of practical
obstacles are in its way as far as The
slums are concerned. He has devoted
contact with $4,000 Of LiverpooPs poor
est children.
81 live in a neighborhood where you
often find six children in one house,
the parents belonging to the very poor
est of the poor. Supposing you put the
children in a school creche and gave
the mother half holiday, what is she
going to do with herself and where is
She going TO get the little money to
enjoy herself in the town or coun-
try?"
In explanation Of Mrs. Raw's scheme
her idea is that there should be a
creche attached TO every school, where
the children, under trained nurse,
could be taught and housed on their
mothers half holiday.
A prominent supporter of Mrs. Raw's
proposal believes il is eminently prac-
tieable, especially in the artisan dis
tricts.
"A ereche attached TO every public
elementary school is only question II
funds" he said "The mothers in each
district could take turns in sending
their children TO ths creche. Those
mothers who are too poor TO pay tor
their own enjoyment could be taken
for drives or given a free tram ride
into the country"
