(By Henrietta Rodman in New .York | Tribune). | “It is a truism that idleness be- gets mischief, quite true that long va- | cations beget delinquency.” Spealbl ing to the proposition that all year | round schools are the crying need otE New York children, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Greenbaum said: “Idleness is demoralizing to the adult.

Tired Every Afternoon, “The great majority of us could not stand the strain any longer than we have to now, +I, .for, example, am young .and very well, and I love teaching, but I am utterly tired every afternoon.’”’ . “Yet you are volunteering to teac this summer without salary,” I re- minded her. 3 “But under what different condi- tians!” exclaimed Miss Brundin. “I'm Boing to take the children to the park, | where they’ll see live things, grow- ing thing.

"Ingthe west when I asked what 1 wab expected to teach in biology, the principal said: ‘Teach the children what you think they ought to know of the subjéct. Discuss it with the other teachers - and get what sugges- tions you ean from them, but do your worit in your own way.’ “Under those conditions work was play. 1 was really doing something; not simply obeying orders. I was put. ting myself into my work—it was my life. I was working as an expert— an. artist, “I came back to New York he- cause my home is here. I didn’t rea- lize how the teachers were repressed i in the New York public schools—in- dividuality crushed—work made dreary grind. “Don’t talk - to us about requiring us to do any more work ‘than we're doing under such conditions as these. It's impossible, we couldn’t stand'it.” “Genuine democracy in the public schools would lower the cost of oper- atng them and enormously increase their efficiency,” said Wilson L. Gill, founder of the School Republic. “The teachers are exhausted after a short day’s work because they have been carrying the full responsibility for the industry ‘and order of their class.

It scems to me that that is the most common, the most selfish and the most_happiness destroying habit of the genus, husband. The instinct to blame someone when one is annoyed, or inconvenlenced, in trouble, or in the wrong, is as old az Adam and his “The woman tempted me.” It’s just as much an instinct to fly out at someone when anything dis- sgreeable happens as it is to eat when one is hungry, to drink when one is thirsty, to stretch when onc is cramped, to rub the spof that ftches, And iust as much a yelief! I'm not sure which =re ihc greater sufferers from this blind Instinet, wives, or mothers of grown children. The woman who holds both positions is to blame for everything that happens in the homey whether it's some- thing she really is responsible for, or something that ish’t in the least her fault, such as the laundryman’s being late’with John’s shirw. Easier to Bear the BLurden Than Quarrel, Why do women aecept this.blame * For the most powerful reason in the world—that they always have. Many of them are 80 stecped In the tra- dition that it's a woman's predestined part to carry the man’s burden of blame for him, that they don’t stop to analyze whether they are really to blame or not. Others protest spasmodically at first but evenrually accept the burden as easier to bear than o quarrel about. Nevertheless that doesn’t make this state of affairs right. Tt isn’t right for either the man or the woman. It isn't just, and e« justice is always wrong, whether it's lasted two centuries or twenty Blame is the heaviest burden anyone can bear. No one who is tem= stantly afraid of being blamed can live a normal efficfent lire. - it makes one nervous, self-consc.ous and afraid, On the gther hand, the hlaming others for one’s own mistakes, faults apd misfortunes, gelfish, uncontrolled and unjust.
