ny w. A. McI<EEvEn. n. ID.

Was woman created for man. and
not man for woman?
Is there any more necessity for
training girls to live for men. their
future husbands than for training boys
10 live for women. their future wives?
is II not about time to throw off
this sham OF assuming that one side
of the family-one siX-ts inherently
any better than the other or possesses
superior right of ownership in the
other?
In all parts of the country we have
established a custom of teaching our
art. but there is not a little traditional
fraud connected with this course.
Under careful analysis it is shown to
be Il course to train girls 10 live for
their future husbands But the dis
honesty of this course lies not in it's
inclusions. but in its omissions. its one
Sidedness.
Justice here demands similar
course for boys. And. if America is
destined 10 save the integrity Of the
home and family life-which was never
before under n strain so alarming
| believe that she must institute a
course intended to train boys for and
with their future wives.
Look about YOU, parents, forgetting
old custom and tradition. and YOU will
easily discern
That girls and women are now COM
ing out boldly and claiming their rights
in every respect as human beings
That they are refusing to be bound
by the traditions of a merely recluse
life in tho home as servants of men
and economically dependent upon them
That they are asserting their rights
to be precisely no better and no worse
morally than the men about them
Now. the moral very definitely point
ed here is that we shall he obliged
to train boys TO meet our girls on this
common level of thrift, economy and
morals; that we must prepare our boys
to live with and for their future wives
and to share equally in the problems
about the home and the children: that
we must have some course in domesti c
science for boys
In seeking and actually securing
their equal rights with men-political /.
economic. moral, spiritual-women are
becoming less domestic. To meet this
made more domestic. BY such means
only Will the great institution of the
home be preserved.
Ry all this I do not mean that bows
are tn be- trained as housek eepcrs. but
rather To know precisely what this art
properly Includes so that they may
actually share in it's burdens--make it
as light as possible for the life partner
and consciously assist her in sharing
equally with himself all the economic.
social. moral and political privileges
which the income and status of their
family will provide
In my opinion no known force can
now prevent the girls of this genera
ton from coming rapidly to an eaua |
level OF all human rights and privileges
with the boys. And as the girls pro
gress will the boys go up? That is
the question.
