Imt of other
creat cltlss aro snfferlnit
from the want of what
seem to them ac
coptablo occupations In the pursuit of
which thoy may oa n a livelihood There
aro comparatively few avenues open to
women for employment and all but ono
of thteo Is overcrowded There la an
unlimited field for them In domestic Mr
vice To my mind there Is nothing ho
niillatlrg In that mode of earning a HvIdk
On tho contrary there Is nothing eo well
adopted to tbo fnnctlons and characteris
tic of women as occupations associated
with the household nnd tbo family I do
think howocr that socloty la somewhat
to blamo became of thu barriers It has
erected in tho borne against domestic ser
vants It would in my opinion bo a
very tortunato thing lmUcd It tho old
fastilontd relationship between employer
and employed In the family clrco conld
bo restored I refer to tho Mruos when
tho servants ot tho household really form
ed part of the famllyottentlmt > 8Bl tlnsf it
tho table Wbyat ray mothers taulewbcn
I was a boy tho servant girl alwa > s nt
tttthe same table with tho family Wo
never felt or tried to inako her fetl that
we wcro nny better than eho was and sho
never set herself up In he belief that the
was any better than we wcro Wo paid
her tho wages sho earned and sho gavo ns
In return Her Work
What Is wanted Is ah appeal to tho
employers In tbo household to make the
condition of tho domestic servant more
tolo able and moro attractlvo to respecta
ble girls Io this way both will bo bciulit
cd Abett rclass olgtrls would bo attract
oJ to this homescrvceaml tho employors
would be sure to galu an advantage
through the Inevitable Improvement In
tbo giafle of servants seeking employ
ment Ol course what is known as fash
lonablp sucloty could no undertake to
establish a basis ol equality between mas
ter and servant or i < nployer and em
ployed within tho social circle That Is
not to bo expected nhcro ordinary com
mon setio prevails In tbls country
where lndlv dual merit may win the
highest distinction and honors It is un
necessary ti arguo that point Hut
what I havo said applies to tho great mass
Ot society the country over To express
my moaning moro broadly I will say htt
1 bellevo It possible for housekeepers
wherever thoy occupy tho position of em
ployers to render tholr homes agreeable
Instead ot dUagrct able to tho girls and
women In their service Ot course tho
dual aim and I may say tho natural aim
of woman is marriage to become a wife
and mother and ns bucu the center ot In
terest in her own family But oil women
cannot or at any rate do not get married
yet even falling to do so the true mission
of woman is still within tho f unlly ad
ministering duties portalnlng to thu notice
holdBut
But continued Mr Uewltt so long
as there Is such a lurgo body of women
seeking occupation in other dliectlous It
Is the duty of every Intelligent citizen ucd
every benevolent Institution to do all they
can to afford facilities for their employ
ment The Cooper Institute was founded
lor that purpose among other things
Wo began with tho An school which Is
an Immense succois and It baa led to the
establishment ot Blmllar Institutions all
over tho United States Hundreds ot
women aro educated there every year who
got remunerative uud congoulal employ
ment Wo have added telegraphy and
stenography and typewriting and with
admirable results But it Is slrapy Im
possible for society to absorb In this di
rection the great surplus of women who
must earn their own livelihood For
these there remains tho unlimited ro
sourco ot domestic employment for all
who wllUceklt
But they will not seek It was sug
gested and it seonis to be attar all a
mutter of ludlvldual cholco with them
This being tho case la it not true that
owing to tho great supply they are
ground down to low wages by the stress
of competition and that in their necessi
ties being dependent upon what they cau
earn and having others dependent upon
them for support thoy aro oftentlmcs
led to ruin
Well replied Mr Howltt no law
can put conscience Into employers or Into
buyers That must be thu result ot edu
cation of training and above all ot con
stant admonition Irom the church Tho
class ol work I havo leterrcd to
Is open to them nevertheless To be sure
I havo tho greatest posalole sympathy
with tho poor girls and women who be
came exposed to temptation as a result ot
overstocking ot thu female tabor market
but on the other hand I hao neither
sympathy nor patience with th060 who
enter upon a life of bhame when tho way
Is consiaatly open to them to pursue an
honest livelihood In a manner tnat seems
lac preferable to that which many of them
choose of their own accord
It Is a melancholy sight to behold tho
great uumher of young girls I mean
glrlafrom twelve to fllteen years of age
golug around our stroets at night I seo
them otten sometimes two or three to
gether but very frequently strolling
along alone In my judgmcntltlndlcates
tha there Is something radically wrong
at the b ittora of society in tbls city
Hence anyth ng that cau be done to lm
proe tho tenementhouses nnd to make
tbo homes of people who have to cam
their da ly bread moro attractlvo Is mist
desirable It Is forthopurposo of dealing
with jusb such questions as this that I
understand ehurches exist If they will
only con cnt to deal with these practical
questions lnsiead ot abstract theological
dogmas they will command much moro
Interest on tho part of their hearors and
bettor results would be achieved
I have not been silent on this subject
in tho past In n paper read at tbochurch
conaress In Cincinnati In October 1878
I said
saidThe church and Us ministers and
above all Us Intelligent laymen engaged
Ip affairs can hasten the good time com
ing by efforts to enlighten both those who
employ and those who aro employed j to
point out that taongh theso aro evil times
yot they aro not so evil as tho times
which havo gono before that there has
been n steady Irresistible unmistakable
progress In tho amelioration of tho condi
tion of mankind and the relations of men
to oach other that the Industrial strife
which has been so conspicuous in our
day instead of being au Indication ot the
decay and disintegration ot society is tho
evidence of progress toward a hotter stato
ot things and that tho questions pre
sented although difficult at first grow
clearer and clearer day by day and are
advancing to a solution which should
comfort tho patriot consolo tho philan
thropist and enconrago tho Christian
There Is no question In my Judgment
which tho church could take hold of with
so much glory to Itself and with such
largo resulting advantage to society as
thatwhlcninrtalna to tho Improvement
ot ths condition ot tbo worklngwomen
As a citizen I am glad to see an agitation
ol the subject Tneso poor tolling girls
and women need not only onr sympathy
but our practical sustaining tfforts But
women most aid ns In our efforts to help
Jri A iu4l ilMi
them by following nlso couowl rather
than by obstinately refusing to turn Into
other equally honorable portraits
I will mention as i > n lllostrattoB one
curious featuto associated with the opera
tions otthn Cooper Institute Wo take
theso jonog girls and arj gl d to take
them into our Art rcaool for the purposo
of educating thjm so that they may be
autlltUd to cam their own living Tho
result Is they aro niado ao cultivated and
so rented that they aro snapped np like
hot cakes by worthy young men Some
times they are married within tear alter
a
leaving tho school instead of earning
their own living as they were expected to
do What nnchanlc w nld not prefer a
girl thoroughly trained to domestic scr
vice In a good family for a wlfu to one
who works In a shop or who stands In a
store knowing nothing whatever abont
tbe duties ot tho household and being in
no position to learn
I n conclusion Mr llewltt said i Th so
atomy views upon tho subject which Is
really only ono branch ot that great quos
Hon
Capital vs Labor now agitating tho
couutry I commend what
Corrlgan has done lu this particular and I
the
Commend manner In which he hag
done It I tnlnk ho has pursued the pro
per conrso and that It is the duty of tho
church to tako up and deal with theso
great subjects which bear such a close
relationship to society In the papa to
which I have already retorred as having
been read by we before tho church con
gress lu 1878 I used tbo tollowlug
language
It during the last hundred years
there hid been no Innustrlal development
tho questions which now stir socloty to
its foundations would never havo forced
thcmselvo on public attention It Is the
marvellous Improvement In tho condition
of tho human race during the present cen
tury which has brought into promlnouco
aud created tho necessity A dealing with
tho evils which In previous ages passed
unnoticed or woro ncepted as lun liable
The very growth andabundmceot wealth
mako tho Inequalities ot its distribution
moro apparent Tho standard ot consci
ence hat been raised with the standard of
comfort Tho conflicts between labor and
capital nro moro Intense because thoro Is
moro to contend for Irlvllcgo slowly
but surely recedes beforo the advance ot
k owlodge Tho question By what
right penetrates tho ory heart ot
power and Is no louget onsworcd by tho
pica ot tradition Thus at length tbo way
Is opened for tho amelioration of human
ity by growth Instead of by revolution
und henceforth society will take no steps
backward
Tnesa were my views eight voara ago

of the south sboru of Long island Is the

tbo bay was open all winter long Wo
kept at It all winter It Is ottcn so cold
that lco will form on the dredge handles
during the tlmo they are out of tho water
but wo dont mind that Tnls Week
as usual wo were out in tho bay
taking all tho advantage wo could
of the fair weather It began to
grow cold very rapidly and tho wind rose
some So It seemed mcesBary to get
home quickly Kvory boat in tho fleet
put for the shore but by tho time wo
came near tho temperatnro had fallen eo
Tepidly that there was thick Ice extend
ing somo distance Into tho bay Wo
couldnt break through so as to got to
our usnal landings and so the boats wcro
part ot tbem beached as near the shore as
thoy conld bo got while others had
to cast anchor further out
No one I think considered
this as alarming It happens
now and then but tho wind took a fresh
turn and blew a hurricane The waves
roiled np bigger than I ever saw thorn In
tho bay betore Tbo first we kuew the
Ice was broken up and the boats torn
from their fastenings It was impossible
to get nearer the shore tor tho wind came
from that direction and blew us off The
whole fleet was swept out Into the bay
The boats were scattered In every ulrec
tlon For a time we dillted about help
lessly and then the wind moderated
somewhat and gave the water a chance to
freeie That settled it Wo were help
less In tho wind and helpless without It
It was trlgbtfuliy cold and not every
boat bad a foil supply of provisions
Thero was nothing to do but stand It as
best we could and the night was passed
In crouching about tho fire and flogging
ourselves with our arms to keep warm
In the morning we found that the Ice was
not so thick as to btf absolutely unbreak
able but just enough to prevent us from
sailing So wo couldnt get anywhere
jieopla on shtrro gave np all other work
and csmo dowtt to the beach to

young peoplo express a wish that tho
room had a musical Instrument of some
kind aIt would add greatly to tbo room
In many respectst then another started
tho Idea of Christmas presents and saldt
How pleasant It would Do If each ono ot
Mrs Gormans subscribers would
briog In tho name and money
for a yearly subscriber as a

this lemark Mrs 1 said I will tell
you what Ill doi I will put up u Christ
mas tree and it each one of my sob
scrlbers will bring tho narao and money
for a yearly Bubscrlber and hang It upon
the tree I will buy a piano int the read

me to put on my thinking cap and I
asked our librarian how many subscriber
she had One hundred and twtniyflvc
was tho answer What help that would
bo to ths lady who has under
taken this venture It would enable
her to get a piano for her
room Whycintwe aU come forward
