Urges Early Marriages
and Home Building

DIR. May Agnes Hopkins of Dallas,
Texas. who has just arrived from
France. where she was in service
with the Child Welfare Bureau of
the American Red Cross, said yes
terday that perhaps the most cry
ing present need in the world is for
home makers. Although the econo-
stage of development here than in
any other country. it is the opinion
of DR.. Hopkins that home making
is particularly a lost art in this
country.
Instead of making homes. girls,
when they marry, keep their jobs,
she found. and this is not conducive
to home making. 1t was her opin-
ion that when a girl marries, she
should give her time and energy
to the home. No woman, she said
should marry unless she is willing
to set aside personal ambition and
make home building her profession.
THE woman who marries and
continues with her work is directly
responsible for the decline in the
art of home making" said DR.. Hop
kins. She does not know it, but
she is cheating her employer. her.
self, and her children. Down in
Dallas. l was house physician to
several hundred women in a manu-
featuring plant which employed
married women, and provided a
model creche for them in which
to place their children. Apparently
it was a perfect arrangement all
around.
when I denounced this scheme to
the manager, he was much dis
gruntled. So I sat down with him,
and worked out in figures that spell
cold cash that he was losing money
on it. l proved that he could actu-
ally be making money If he paid
every married woman on his paw roll
her regular salary to stay home and
care for her children.
"It is not only the scientific care
they receive in a creche or from a
nurse that young children need.
They need the love of a mother,
not the remote. divided love that
woman with job can give her child
after office hours, but the inimltabfe
mother love, which should sustain
and animate every home. 1t is not
sentiment to say that love is the
ruling power of the world; it is hard
fact. 1t may be love Cor self. for
ambition. for another. In its finest
quality. it is the love of mother
for a child, and a child for its
mother. When the underlying prin-,
ciple of mother love and personal
service is gone from a home, 1t
becomes an institution. This is the
case with many homes in our coun-
try.
"I do not speak of where a mother
is forced, for any reason, to go out
daily to work. That is unfortunate.
and must be met. The women
denounce are those who regard the
making of a home as light mat
ter. to be brushed easily aside and
sacrificed for petty ambitions. There
may be some women of genius or
with a talent so great that it war
rants developing and pursuing. In
this case, a woman has no right
to marry. She should choose one
course or the other.
