Hiss Perkins who, through the Con-
sumers' League, reduced the working
hours of factory women from sixty 10
fifty-four a week. Miss Perkins is now
secretary of the Committee on Safety,
and through her varied experiences
comes in contact with women workers
in all walks of life.
81 have felt, especially since | have
entered social work, that the teacher
is capable of great deal more work,
and can still be free from the burden
of overwork. Yet no one feels more
strongly than | the uneconomic aspect
of the overworking of the human being.
"But the teacher has far more time
at her disposal than is necessary. 1t
is said that the nervous strain which
she must undergo is exceptional. But
| do not feel that this is so. The
drain on her nervous system and on
Ter personality is not greater than
that which many professionals are
forced to endure certainly not more
than that on a doctor, or more than on
a social worker who is forced to see
and impress himself forcibly upon peo-
pie al! day long. And the social worker
has only one months vacation.
