DOMESTIC SERVICE
COURSES PLANNED
Trained Home-Maker Is to Have
an Eight Hour Day and Stand
ard Minimum Wage.

Courses for training home assist
ants, who will go into the home by the
day, hour or week and work on
schedule Of hours and fixed wages,
have been inaugurated by the Young
Women's Christian Association as
means for meeting the problem of do
nestle service.
The object of this course, now being
tried out in New York City, is to place
domestic service on the same dignifed
basis as clerical work, trained nursing
or other professions open to women.
The home assistant will work eight
hours day for salary of SIS week.
She will not live in the home Of her
employer or take her meals there. She
will have an hour for luncheon, when
she can go to a restaurant or eat a
lunch which she has brought with her
Just as she would were she employed
in a factory. The employer will not
address the home worker by her first
name. She will be Miss Smith or Mrs.
bTOWn, DIS Ill6 case uldy Uc.
Applicants for the course are care
fully selected, and registrants are ap-
pearing in large numbers. With the
same independence as to recreation
hours, places of eating and living as
the factory girl, hOuse-work has a
greater appeal, as being less mOnoto-
nous and more interesting work to the
average woman.
The course is a thorough one in plain
cooking, waiting on table and door,
chamber work, plain sewing, care of
children, making of menus and the
Heavy work is to be done by outside
workers. On graduation the student
receives a certificate which proves her
qualification as a dependable home
worker capable of attending to all ordi-
nary duties in a home.
The Young Women's Christian AssO-
citation has been interested in the prob
lem of domestic service both from the
standpoint of the employee and from
that of the employer for some years
The first commission on Household
Employment made its report at the
fifth national convention of the Young
Women's Christian Association held in
Los Angeles, Cal, in May, 1915.
The difficulties of attracting capable
women in this field of work We're laid
to the long hours, lack of independence
in arranging recreation hours, lack OF
opportunities for growth and progress
and lack of social standing.

Flora says that ahho it is probably
true that wheat has been damaged.
the extent to which this has gone can
not be determined until several days
of warm. sunshiny weather occur. He
says that at this time of the year,
when wheat is heading, it always goes
down under heavy rains but comes
back up under the influence OF the
sun. Until there are few days of
sunshine, how much of the wheat can
come back cannot be estimated.
Should heavy rains continue, Flora
says, a lot of damage will result.
Showers are scheduled for tonight and
tomorrow, however.
The extremes on record for this
date were "a in 1911 and as in 1897.
