as civil engineering on the farm;
how to market the products of the

Industrial Revolution in This Country

BY MRS. WILLIAM |. THOMAS
Secretary Of Woman, Peace Party

The industrial revolution has doutlccrosscd women. On the on.
hand it has given her more leisure than any one human being has a right
to-csurc which is a burlcn-and to another class it has given working
conditions under which no human being ought TO have to live.
Pieccwork is one Of the most pernicous accomplishments Of the indus
trial revolution. 1t takes away the creative stimulus. Would it be pos
sblc for n Stradyarius to rise up from among us today, whore only d
few artists and artisans have time to care for careful craftsmanship.
Human beings are being treated practically as a piece Of machinery.
Human power is being spccied precisely rs mechanical power is, and
society is now face to face with the problems due to that socictys own
shortsightclncss, Women in factory trades are continually breaking
down and having to be taken care Of by the state. 1t is a very short.
sighted policy which destroys human beings and then throws them back
rs the charge Of society. And ii is the women who are being sacrificed in
this process.

to the open-air and outdoor activities. Summer vacations are practical
