9/16 A group of Chicago club women walking boldly into the city Bridewell and the Cook County Jail and demanding that children of ten and twelve should no longer be locked up with criminals; these same women, after the children were segregated, establishing a school for them, and finally these same women achieving a juvenile court, is the modern edition of the old ideal. This is a platitude which no woman will ever dissent from, provided two words are dropped out of it. Her talents, as a rule, are mainly for homemaking. |
