Shortage of Help in the Home Is Often
Chargeable to the Housewife
By MRS. FRANK D. FULTON, Winnetka, 111.
The greatest problem in relation to the operation of the home is ob
taining someone to assist the housewife in doing the necessary work.
Inability to obtain assistance is not because of lack of compensation nor
of proper working conditions.
There are plenty of women who would be glad to work in the home
if it were not for the social stratum to which they were relegated. Many
excellent cooks are working in stores, shops, factories and offices because
of the accepted difference in social position between girls who work in
such places and girls who work in homes.
Work in the home should be classed as the highest form of employ
ment. The making and maintenance of the home is the principal object
of all men and women. The wife is responsible for the conduct of the
home, the same as the husband is responsible for the conduct of his busi
ness.
The reason for shortage of help in the home is chargeable, in most
instances, to the manager of the home. The man occupies a position of
authority, as a rule, because of his ability to direct others. The wife is
placed in charge of the home for other reasons, with the result that the
foreman of the house knows less about its management and the work to be
done than the employee who is assisting.
I suggest that in trying to solve the problem of assistance in the
home we start by educating ourselves. The solving of the problem of
how to operate the home is squarely up to the wife. To solve this prob
lem satisfactorily she must learn to do the work in the home and in addi
tion learn how to intelligently direct others.
