DOMESTIC SPHERE
BEST FOR GIRLS AND WOMEN INSTEAD OF COMPETING AGAINST MEN EMPHATIC DECLARATION OF A MEDICAL MAN BT TEIiHGHArH.—PBE33 ASSOCIATION. Copyright London, December 1. ‘•There are over-many girls and women competing against men,” was the empliatic declaration of Dr. Fenton, medical officer for Kensington. He included girl typists and shop assistants, saying that their proper , place was domestic service. If they cleared out, men’s conditions and earnings would be vastly improved, and they would be opening up wider opportunities for marriage, which was unquestionably, the happiest state of existence. This would remove from the labour market thousands of women, while the increased earnings of married men would make it possible to employ domestic assistance. Furthermore, he said, domestic work was better for girls than typing, selling stockings, and packing pickles.
