rryASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 6.-That
w the task of being wife and MOTH
W er should be numbered among the
learned professions and taught in the hlgh
schools and colleges is an idea that seems
to be steadily gaining ground.
It got another recommendation the other
day when DR.. Simon Katzoff, well-knoWn
psycho-analyst, told the Bridgeport board
of education that it should Immediately es-
tablish high school classes for the purpose
of training girls in the difficult business OF
being wives. He said that American girls
get no training at home in this line, ana
that therefore the schools must give it. He
placed all the blame for divorce and the
general failure of marriage on the 1gnor-
ance Of American girls.
Apparently Dr. Katzoff was concerned
chiefly with the girls position as wife
rather than as mother, and his criticism OF
the American wife contained nothing new.
He simply limited what every international
observer has stated, that the American
woman is a tyrant in her home, and the
American man the most petticoat-dominated
man on earth. In the typical American
household, the husband is deprived of
large part Of his personal liberty in the mat
ter of his associations, engagements ana
habits. His wife's wishes presented to
him, not in the form of requests, but of de-
mands. Yet the average American male &C
cents this situation philosophically. For
one thing, he has been trained to feminine
domination from early cnllunOOQ, IOr CHe
American youth is ruled by his mother far
more than by his father, and he is COM
monty enslaved by his elder sisters as WELL
It seems quite natural to him to have his
wife take similar attitude of ownership
In some cases doubtless he is generally
shocked by the way German or French
man treats his wife, while the Oriental at
titude of regarding her frankly as an in
ferior seems horrible to him.
Woman's Opportunity
Doubtless the American attitude is in
many ways admirable. 1t gives the woman
an unusual opportunity to realize herself
az an individual and develop any abilities
she may have. For woman of good char
acter and intelligence it is an excellent sys-
tenn But the flaw in it is that the Ameri-
can tradition does not demand enough OF
the woman to justify the large amount of
freedom she is given.
The American girl today stepping out OF
high school or college, faces a wealth of OPP
portunity, such as women have never en-
joyed before in any age or country. 1t is
true that size has certain legal disabilities,
and that she is apt to be paid less for the
same work than man. But her sisters are
organized to remove those legal disabilities
and her situation in all sorts of work is
steadily improving, while there are few
things in life from which she is barred by
her sex. She can get as much education as
any man. Science and medicine both offer
her opportunities of which many women
have already availed themselves In jour-
nalism, literature and the other arts she

SHOULD WIVES BE TRAINED?-By Frederic j. Haskin

lready enjoys almost as much success and
Influence as men. Business opportunities
are open to her on every hand. She has
almost as much social freedom as man.
She can and does travel and go about alone
and choose her own associations. Inc
chaperon and the escort play just about as
large part in her life as she wishes them
to play, and no larger.
This creates an ideal situation for the
woman Of brains and energy, who wants to
enter a profession or business, Tho has
definite craving for independence and self
development There are many thousands
of women IN America who have awaited
themselves of their unusual opportunities
to the full, and who present to the world
a heartening spectacle Of feminine achieve
ment and independence. But the great ma
jority of women do not strongly crave
achievement and indept ndence, nor have
they any considerable capacity for it. They
probably do not differ in this respect from
the great majority of men. But the man
is subject to a different tradition. Even
though he has no strong original bent, GUS
tom ordains that he must train himself Tor
some kind of work, that he must get JOB
an make living. Custom demands no
such thing of the woman. If she does not
feel any interest in learning and working,
she can stay at home and be a lady She
can ego into society,". And ultimately, OF
course, she can marry.
Only Wives unframed
Now the strange part of it is that this
marriage is a business which is supposed to
require no training whatever. The wpma1
who wants to be doctor must study hard
for four years. She who succeeds in writ
ing often serves a hard apprenticeship for
longer than that Business, science, nurs-
ing, welfare work-all of the lines into
which women go-require hard and def
mite training. But she to whose mercies the
destinies of one man and three or four
children are to be trusted requires no train
ing whatever according to the American
custom. Most of the training her mother
gives her is designed to teach her how to
catch the man, not how to take care Of him
or raise his offspring The high school
teaches her French and algebra and the
finishing school adds music, classic dancing,
and tea-pouring.
these places a course of instruction known
vaguely as domestic SCIENCE" and it US
ually consists of>a little instruction in cook
cry. But of the realities and difficulties of
married life, of the science of raising and
educating children, not one American girl
in a thousand is ever taught anything. NO
doubt the bright ones learn from expert
ence. No doubt many of them are brilliant
ly successful wives and mothers in spite
of everything But America leads the world
in divorce, it has very high infant death
rate and it also, we are told has the worst
home cooking in the world. Would four
year high school course in the business of
being a wife remedy these things? Students
o. the subject seem to think it would help.

London Going UP
ONDON Bridge having managed such
d lengthy span of years without fall

"a lengthy span OF years without TALL
ing down, contrary to the old song,
the LoHdoners now are beginning to con-
slider sAyscrapers. 1t may come as news to a
good many Americans that in Edrope's great
est ethyl long the most populous city of the
globe, the steel-frame towering structure so
familiar in Atlanta and other American
cities newer has caught on-in fact, never
has been put up, to any extent.
The British are conservative folk and
slow of imitation. When the first American
skyscrape went up--the Masonic Temple in
Chicago, "a matter of something like twenty
stories-the British read about it, and some
of their travellers saw it; and all agreed
that presently it would fall down.
Possibly this oessimistic attitude was
nationally adopted as a conference.-the to
the Sunny, little sons we used to sing SO
much in childhood along with game
London Bridge is falling down,

London Bridge is falling down,
My fair Lady,"
The British architects said steel-frame
structure would no stand up against the
variable stress of wind-pressure and the
vibration Of elevators AS soon the cleo
trical engineers founu out about electrolysis,
they said that would set in, too, and eat
away the steel frame if rust didn't do it
first. -
Furthermore, the British architects con-

ly ugly" and said ~ freely. Trey might do
for American cities, with their "lack OF per-
manency," but they would never do for dear
old Lunnon. r.
But the American skyscraper continued
scraping the sky and came down only when
taken down to permit the erection. of still
taller edifice. And after twenty or thirty
years, the British, who see through every
thing sooner or later, began to get the point.
Now there is said to be small but select
and increasing body of London architects
who favor extending the city upward, since
the spread of it's downtown or business por-
tion-the "City" it is called-is positively
incapable of expansion in any other direction
except downward, which is not particularly
practicable.
London merchants, too, desire large and
daylit showrooms, reaching from street to
street, with no heavy partitions-ln word,
they want modern American buildings. And
after a recent Investigation no less person
than A. E. Richardson, professor Of archi-
lecture al the University Of London, actually
came out and suggested the housing in a
skyscraper of "The Old Lady of Threadneedle
Street.-The Bank of England!
Radical indeed And the heretical profess
sor went so far as to make very pretty
drawing of twenty-three-story structure
with tower, suited in his opinion to the
famous old bank.
The London city council still has a word
to say about such ideas, and it is likely to
be stiff comment; but those in favor OF
vertical civic deve.orment are said to be dis
tnctly in earnest; and there is hope ex-
pressed that the venerable city fathers even
tually will rub their eyes and come to it.

tor, and tiresome preacher would make
crackerjack business men.
When the business man takes stock he
junks the articles that are worn out, that
are out of fashion, that are obsolete. No
good business man cutters up; his factory
with out-of-date machinery. No successful
merchant takes up the space on his shelves
with hoop skirts, and bustles, and the sort
of clothes that his mother used to wear. He
knows he must he continually getting in
new stock of merchandise, and keep up with
the times, or else he will go to the wall
When we take stock of ourselves we will
do we'll if we do likewise, and cast into the
discard our moth-eaten ideals, and our old
fashioned prejudices that do not Mt this age
and generation. The theory that the old days
were the best days, and that, especially, the
times when we were young were the days
when all human wisdom and virtue flower
ed; the idea that because we are middle
aged or old we are infallible in our opln-
ions: the fond belief that we have right
to sit in judgment on the young, and to die
tate their manners, and morals, and general
conduct; the conviction that the youth of
today is degenerate, and is going to the
devil, all of these notions we ought to
chuck out into the ash can.
They are old stocA, unusable, unsafe
able, no good to anybody, and they take up
so much space in our heads that they leave
no room for new, fresh ideas and impress
sons Age is nothing but an inability to
change ones viewpoint AS long as we keep
a continual turnover of the latest ideas we
are young, no matter how many years we
have been doing business at the same old
stand.
A good business man, after he has audit
ed his accounts, writes off his losses. They
are bound to occur to even the most pros
porous concern. He pays them, and the in
cident is closed
Surely, we do well to follow his example
in this, also, when we balance our book OF
life, at the end of the year. No human ex-
istence can be all sunshine. To each of us
there must come sorrow, and disappoint-
ment Some of our most cherished plans go
wrong Friends we have trusted betray us.
Love we have counted on, fails u.s.
Let us not brood over our wrongs, OF
cherish our SORROWS. Let us charge 1t off to
profit and loss, and wipe off the slate, and
start afresh with the new year.
