yoUR-DEPENDENTs.

Who is dependent? The American
idea is that all our wives and
daughters are dependents. That is,
our idea is that married women and
daughters of living fathers are de-
pendents. This idea does not extend
fully to widows or to unmarried
women with no bread-winners. 1t
seems natural and proper that they
should support themselves.
Now comes the government and
the necessity OF war to give that idea
great shock. The government as
sumes that an able bodied married
woman is not strictly a dependent.
And so many partings are intensified
in their bitterness by the knowledge
that who has been considered en-
tirely dependent must find her own
support while the breadwinner is
taken for military service.
The shock should carry its lesson
to parents and daughters. The young
woman should not accept the situa-
ton of complete dependency and par
ents may we'll take note OF the pres
ent situation to resolve that their
daughters shall be so trained in self
helpfulness that selt-dependency
shall not hang as cloud of disaster
over their lives.
Men are drafted in an emergency
like the present and separations and
changed circumstances create new
and unusual conditions. But men die
and widows must face the world III
peace as in war. The positive de-
pendent woman faces disaster al
ways. Death of her husband throws
her upon her own resources often
with children at her side
1t is an unfair proposition. We
train our sons to be able to make
good living" The wise father as
sists his son to a speciality. He learns
to do something well, something that
commands living pay for the service.
To leave the daughters without train
ing that will enable them to over
come disaster is utterly unfair. The
young woman who fails to demand
and secure some special training that
will be a holding anchor when she
finds herself cast on the lee shores
OF life is unfair to herself.
IF this CONSUMPTION teaches par
ents that the girls Should" learn
trade and that women have the SER
ious problem of self-support to face
it will have added another to the
lessons Of calamity.
A woman should not consider her
self as a dependent but as a partner
in the corporation of marriage. She
should not accept the general view OF
her positive dependency, but insist
on the training and ability to care Tor
herself when misfortune or emergen-
CIV brings the necessity. MARSHALL
