By SUSAN b. ANTHONY IT.


More than 400 mothers a month
make urgent requests for nursery
schools to care for their children
while they are working, and the
number is increasing.
A year ago, the need for nursery
schools caused the women's AUXILIARY
of the, United Federal Workers, CTO
to organize demand for low-cost
day care for their children. Many
members were former Federal work
ers themselves, and wanted to re-
turn to work. The pre- school child
problem prevented them from doing
so. .s
A month later, in October, l941
nursery educators and organiza-
ton leaders became aware of the
growing crisis caused by the inade-
quate facilities to care for small
children Under leadership of Miss
Alice Mendham, founder of Green
acres School ,;they formed the Erner-
gency Committee for the Group Day
Care of Young Children.
The Child Welfare Division of the
Council of Social Agencies, the
League of Women Shoppers. Wash
ington Federation of Churches, As
sociation for Childhood Education.
American Association of University
Women and the District Congress
of Parents and Teachers were
among the groups who joined the
Emergency Committee in addition
to the UFW auxiliary. y
Survey Facilities.
The committee set up Offices at
the Council of Social Agencies.
Volunteers recorded the eight to ten
telephone requests daily for nursery
school care. Volunteers from the
20 member organizations repre-
sented also made the first accurate
survey of the actual number of
nursery schools existing in the
Washington Metropolitan Area.
They found that there are only 100
child care centers, with a total ca
pacity for under 1000 children.
They also found that these nursery
schools were for the most part pri-
vate, too expensive for the average
Federal worker, and located in the
Northwest section of the city.
Over a period of six months the
committee received 644 applications
for nursery school care, of which
200 were from mothers working in,
the Federal Government.
Requests for care, so a month,
continued to pour into the Child
Welfare Division of the council, and
to the individual nursery schools
and to nursery educators.
A poll of need for day care of
children of mothers actually at work
was made at the Civil Service Com
mission by the VFW auxiliary and
two Federal workers unions cooper.
ating with the Emergency Com
nittee
Poll Shows Dissatisfaction.
OF 129 working mothers of pre-
school children, more than half said
they were dissatisfied with present
arrangement for care OF youngsters
Many Of them feared that their
maids would leave, or that sister
or grandmother who had been car
ing for the children would get
job or get Ill.
Thirty-three Of the mothers asked
for nursary school care and all
mothers questioned said they would
pay rnedian sum OF $40 q month
for day care. Some said they would
pay as high as $50 q month to get
safe, professional supervision for
under-fives.
