Pheno luninr; ewo
The whole system of domestic serr
Ice In use today stands In need of n
thorough Investigation mid reorganiza
tion, according te Miss Estellc Lauder,
of the Consumers' League. Miss Lau
der has made notable contributions In
the fields of social work and Indus
trial Investigation.
"Important as is the matter of do
mestic service," said Miss Lauder, "It
has never received that careful study
and attention which it deserves.
"Ab any one with n family can tell
you, there is no mere essential field
of labor than that connected with the
multitudinous duties of the home. At
the bnme time It has presented se many
unique problems and is governed by such
varying circumstances that a really
comprehensive examination of the
subject has net. yet been undertaken.
"In it present state, domestic serv
ice is, of course, an entirely unregu
lated trade. Although It is labor in
Its fullest, sense, it does net figure in
any of the special legislation which
our clvlllratlen has constructed for .the
protection and regulation of labor.
"There is no such thine ns work
men's compensation in domestic serv
ice, nor minimum hours or pay. The
legislation en that subject expressly
specifies 'domestic tervlce excepted.' "
Miss Lauder declined at this point
te hazard en opinion as te whether or
net this clause had been introduced
through the influence of legislators'
wlves, and continued :
"In fact, servants In this line of work
are a class unto themselves, as com
pared with ether branches of labor.
Their work has no standards, for
every household Is different. They
have 'no unions nor ether centralising
agencies through which they may
speak.
"Te my mind, such a chaotic sys
tem, It rystem it may be called, is ene
that calls for a scientific study, con
ducted along certain lines that will
lead in the end te some standardization
in working conditions.
"In n manufacturing plant today, it
there Is continued tteublc, either with
production, or labor, or any of the ill
which attack business, the practice Is
te call in an exnert industilal engineer.
who leeks nt the problem from a fresh J
point of view, and with scientific pre
clsien.
"That Is what is needed for Hip whole J
nciii or uemeBtic service. mho eiti con
ditions have exislcd for years, and tlieiv
lina ltnnn n rnvrftennnil In ft" nm nil tit flf
trouble, about which there itt much com- 1 1
plaint, but little action.
"One reason for that is that Iho weik
of the woman of the house has uevcr
been given any actual monetary value,
and by analogy this has been extended
lu part te tiie work of the domestics.
Xe Itccegnlzcd Status
"Ah the housewife' labor has never
had any hard money value, it has never
been treated eh a recognized branch of
industry. FeihapB, tee, having Iseen
almost exclusively in I he province of
vnitivn. It lina never eccitnled the Ot-
tentlen of the men. who in the past 1

"What is needed, and what we nie
trying te get, 1h nu exhaustlve investi
gation into the whole matter. It will
take money, of course, and time. That
is another reason why the problem has
never been approached along lhe.se lines.
"That Is the way that matters stand
new. Such n treatment is needed. It
will take resources such as are avail
able only In certnln places. I have
tried fe get the Russell Sage Founda
tion te undertake this work in the
pant, but its allotments had been com
pleted. We Miall persevere, however,
nnd I expect that it will come sooner or
later.
"This investigation. It seems te me.
should certainly prove the Inherent evil
of the living-lii system. Where a girl
net only works, but actually lives,
under the supervision of one woman, il
who all tee often lias little interest or
sympathy for her, her llfe is restricted
beyond the limits demanded for self
determination. "The actual mechanics of house heuso houso
werk Is another subject which should
be gene into very thoroughly. The
equipment of (he home eun make all the
difference in t lie ease nnd efficiency with
which the work may be done.
"Why is se much detailed attentien1 4
paid te the arrangement or machinery,
the selection of tools nnd the routing
of work In industrial establishment!)
if a great Increase In efficiency is net
obtained thereby?
"It is no less reasonable te expect
n great improvement In the work of the
kitchen and household through a Fclen
flfic study of the Implements with which
that work Is done. The height of the
kitchen sink mny have just as much
Importance te the woman who washes
(he dishc as the weight of the shovel
has te the man in the construction gang.
Cites Own Experience
"I think, tee, that if methods nre
worked out te allow the domestic serv
ants some share in the actual intelligent
working out of their duties it will be n
great step forward. The creative, the
ulnnnlntr Instinct, is stranir In us all.
land when it enters into work of any
kind the results nre always better.
"These conclusions en my part have
been readied by my experience both
as n housekeeper and n student of in
iliiRlrliil nrncesRPS. T liave felt for a
long tirae that the entire matter must
be placed en n new anu mere Bi-icmmu

"Let us slop dealing with palliatives
for the servant problem. What we need
is some decisive change that will strike
straight te the root of the matter."
