SUGGESTS TRAINING
FOR O0MEST|CS

In one of IT'S reports on the domes-
nc-service problem, presented to the
minister OF reconstruction of Great
Britain by the women's advisory
committee. IL ia urged that better
training facilities be provided for per-
sons who perform household tasks. 1t
is pointed out that because workers
are not trained to certain standards
they lack the advantages offered by
'other vocations. and 1t is held that
the social status Of the occupation Of
domestic service viii be raised when
those who enter 1t represent d spe-
cial fitness attained by actual edu-
cation for the calling.
The subcommittee on organization
whose task it-has been to seek the
causes for the widespread reluctance
OF women TO return to employment in
the household has outlined three
principal reasons for this attitude.
These are Long hours OF duty. loss
OF social status, and lack of compan-
ionship The servants hours OF, duty
are not definitely fixed, and social
contact is difficult A girl is often CUT
off from young persons Of her owa
age, and she suffers severely from
loneliness and lack of recreation.
Inasfnuch az the servant problem
has been presented in certain parts OF
the country as one OF the obstacles in
the way OF the Own 7 Yorktown ONE
movement now being conducted ny
the United States Department of La
Dor, all efforts to solve 1t are Of spe-
cial interest in the United States IT
this time. The remedies suggested by
the women's advisory committee are:
Training. organization. and improve
ment Of conditions. Three forms OF
organization are outlined. One is The
esta blishment of local centers with
social and educational clubs and, II
prac ucable, a bureau OF registry. A
second type Of center might provide
places at which domestic workers
could live while being educated or
when not employed, Practical train
ing would DO provided at these hotels.
