Miss Salmon's ideas, if carried out, would stay the rapidity of the current away from domestic service.

But a quite new approach to the whole problem must be defined and realized by women of light and leading if we would have adequate and efficient help In household work.

The fact that most professional or business women find it far easier to get good help where but one domestic worker is kept, than do most women who have no outside duties, gives one key to the situation.

As one woman of character and education far above that of most household workers said, "I do housework for Mrs.So and So, for she teaches and there is a reason why she needs help.

I would not take a place where there were women in the family who could do the housework themselves perfectly well and wait upon them." The absurd hypocrisy that in one breath praises all work done for the comfort of the family as the highest form of service and in the next demands that the family "servant" accept all manner of inherited insignia of social inferiority must be outgrown.
