The Family and it’s Members

CHAPTER XIII
30/39

There is a big social job waiting for women in matters concerning the work of their own sex both within and without the family circle; and the social power of women will be best shown, perhaps, in settling the worst problems of domestic service by the wiser and more efficient use of better educated, more socially respected, and more definitely standardized workers within the home.
=The Social Effect of Trade Unions.=--No study of the relation of modern industry to family life, however brief and inadequate, can ignore the question, "How has the Trade Union organization of wage-earners affected the home ?" The immediate and direct effect has often been disastrous when strikes and lockouts marked the course of industrial warfare.

All war is bad for family life and especially injurious to the development of children.

And economic war lacks the appeal to the imagination and the ceremonial prestige of war between nations or of civil war in one country.

We have had in our race-experience for untold ages the linking of military training with military defence of political ideas and of the fatherland.

To fight for one's country seems highly honorable.
