Object TO CHANGE OF
WOMEH'S SOCIAL STATUS

According TO Dr.. Albert Robin, a
member Of the District Exemption
Board, some OF the members have taken
lhe position that the government has
no right TO change the social status OF
womankind In this country by taking
AWAY tlieir husbands for war service.
Dr.. Robin expresses the ideas Of these
members in the following language
1.-THE position taken by some Of the
members Of the board Is this: A
roman's dependency upon her husband
Is social as well as financial, and be-
cause a woman Is able-bodied and able
10 work Is no reason why the govern
ment should compel her TO become a
servant and change her social position.
There are hundreds Of girls who marry,
and / am referring TO the great middle
classes, who have been educated but
not educated I'm any particular profess
sion or TO make a living. II the hus-
band or such a woman should be
taken from her. and she be compelled
io work for a living, nothing but do
nestle service would be open to her,
and she would lose her social standing.
ID IS wrong to say that the ruling Is
Tor women OF social prominence.
Women OF social prominence in tho
great majority OF cases, would be the
wives Of husbands with incomes sufi-
sient TO support their wives while they
Nere IN the army. In many instances
women OF social prominence would
have SUFFICIENT incomes TO support
themselves. II is not to these that the
uiing applies"
