I As .a start in a saving program the
British Commission has pointed cut
lhat services should be valued even
iuore, highly than goods, as earh per
son 'doing unnecessary and unpro:h:>
-v^cork not only consumer \vitho;:t
producing, but is also depriving the
rountry of possible productive now r.
Translated into terms of Americr.n
saving, this service idea would mer.a,
"Do not hire any one to do what you
can do for yourself in spare i^ne m
less you find it Erectly profitable."
Few Americans are really honr-t
with themselves as to the cost c.i s-u
vices. Not one family in a hundr -d
really knows what a servant actually
costs. Most of them place the co-.t
of her wages and fail to count in her
food, light and other tiling-- she con
sumes. Most of them, moreover, have
no way of figuring correctly the exfa
waste of food or extra breakage or
wear and tear due to the fact th it
the servant does not have the interest
of ownership for making things go : s
far as possible. Few families know
at the end of the year the important
total that the "odd jobs" man or hedr;e
cutter or grass trimmer has cost them
for service that might as well have
been rendered as recreation or need
ed outdoor exercise by the man or
boys of the family.
This, of course, does not mean that
no service should be purchased.
Where a housewife's time is worth
more in money or other contribution
to family well-being than the cost of a
servant she makes a profit by employ
ing some one who frees her to do bet
ter paid work than household tasks.
In many oases physical or personal
rersmi.s .uaKe it essential to the wel
