Courses for training home assist
ants, who will so into the home by the
day, hour or week and work on a
schedule OF hours and fixed wages,
have been inaugurated by the Young
Women's Christian Association as d
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

basis as clerical work, trained nursing
or other professions open to women.
The home assistant will work eight
hours a day for a salary Of SIS q 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 60 to a restaurant or eat q
lunch which she has brought with her
just as she would were she employed
In factory. The employer will not
address the home worker by her first
name. She will be Miss Smith or Mrs.
Brown, as the case may be-
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 AZ
the factory girl, Homework has q
greater appeal. as being a 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
washing and ironing Of light things
Heavy work Is to be done by outside
workers. On graduation the student
receives certificate which proves her
qualification AZ dependable home
worker capable Of attending to all ordi-
nary duties In 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
NTH national convention OF the Young
Women's Christian Association held In
Los Angeles, Cal, In May, 1918.
The difficulties OF attracting capable
women to this field of work were laid
TO the long hours, lack OF independence
I'm arranging recreation hours, lack OF
opportunities for growth and progress
and lack OF social standing.
