A Practical Programme
for Social Reformers

Children well cared for and soundIv
educated; women relieved of useless and
soul-killing drudgery, freed to do re-
munerative work, thus increasing the
purchasing power of the nation; manual
workers of both sexes producing more
and more wealth; leisure for all work
ers, for when labor-saving devices and
latest inventions are applied to industry
a six-hour day will not be impossible
We think this a practical programme
for social reform, much more workabl
than the Labor party's panacca of Con
troll of industry by the workers. which
would inevitably lead, first, to the dc
moralization Of British Industries, and,
next, to their capture by the organized

we'll known that the poor, and even the
wcl-to~do. manual workers live in
hdeous houses, poorly furnished, in
adequately heated; that their food is
not good, nor their clothing beautiful.
Yet for what they have they pay more,
in proportion, than the rich pay for their
luxuries. Because they have no modern
conveniences in their homes--in Great
Britain they haven't even central heat
the married women toll ceaselessly in
the drudgery of housework. They
have no time to be good mothers,
have no leisure in which to improve
themselves. We think that the cure for
these evils lies in cooperative living.

Paul Chapman
and Society

10 the Editor of Tho Ncw Citizen
am one Of the many women who
believe arc interested in Paul Chapman,
ard Il am obtaining signatures to a pcti-
tion to have the sentence stayed.
Il find the majority Of people arc not
in favor Of full pardon, fearing the
moral effect on other boys would be dis
astrous. Boys Of his type, and others
on the East Side of New York, arc fol-
lowing this case as they would dime
novel. In being fair to Paul Chapman,
to society at large, you have at the same
time now wonderful psychological op-
portunity to leave lasting impression
Of fairness and justice to both sides in
the minds of the huge "boy clement"
that We have in New York, which is re-
cciylng, in some of the congcstcd dis
tricts, so little direction
1t seems to mo to boil down the fact
that there are just two things to be kept
in mind: First, Paul Chapman has done
sufficient wrong to make him a danger
cus member in the community; he must
be given change to do better on account
Of his age. Second, the remedy seems
TO be, i'll my estimation, not a jail SEN
tencc, not rcformatory, not pardon,
but parole under another name to
some good Western farmer, who would
give him the opportunity of home, fam
lily influence. a broad agricultural life,
with some night school education.
Phrough the influence of women in New
York, am sure this could be accom-
plished. a detailed report of the case
should be made to the proper authorities
semi-annually.
/ should think this would be a wonder
ful opportunity for the women interested
in suffrage in the State Of New York to
take the boy up as a trial case of what
modern and human influences will do.
If / can assist you in bringing to-
xether people especially interested in
the child question outside of the So
called city or state method | shall be
glad to do go.

A Plan of Patriotic
and Practical Women

Great Britain has already laid the
foundation for cooperative living in the
community kitchens which have sprung
up to meet the serious food SHORTAGE 1t
is worth noting that the Labor party
has never put forth single constructive
proposition for cooperative living. The
community kitchens were not estab-
lshed by the Labor party. They were
first proposed by a group Of middle
class housekeepers, and were exactly
the kind Of contribution one might
expect from practical and patriotic
women.
When, last winter, marketing became
difficult and we bcheld long queues Of
people waiting in line to buy meat, tea
butter and other necessities of life, it
occurred to these women that if food
could be purchased in quantity by the
community, cooked in central kitchens
and sold to housewives in the neighbor-
hood Of each kitchen, coal would be
saved, rationing would be easy, profi-
tccring would be stopped and all families
would get their share Of food
1t was Brtain's first experiment in

The Fallacy of Labor's
Programme for Housing

The Labor party has shown, in its
attitude toward housing reform, bow
little it really understands the problem
Of the manual workers and how poorly
qualified its leaders arc to speak for
women. Their idea Of proper house
is an inferior imitation of middle
class villa for each individual family
They leave out of all consideration the
fact that more and larger rooms would
simply mean more labor for the already
overtaxed housewives. Recently group
in the party sent out long question
naire to women, containing such naive
queries as these: Would you like hot
water laid on, or do you prefer cold
water?" would you like a bath?'
We would have, not separate houses
for individual families, but large COM
munity houses where families, without
sacrificing any privacy, could share
number Of modern conveniences now
monopolzed by the rich. We would
have central lighting and heating, hot
and cold water, as matter of course
We would have central kitchens where
food. purchased economically in large
quantities. would be cooked by experts
and distributed to the private apart
ments of each family. Nothing is more
cXtravagant than private coal bin and
private market basket. These income
