Women Doing Men's Work., Philadelplia Record: The question whether or not women may undertake 10 do the work of men in any and every kind of mentalor physical libor can no Jonger be answered with n derisive neg- ative. The bitual imposition upon women of the most ab nd slavish drudg: avage and semi-civilized prople to what extent mere mus- cular enduranee can be cultivated by uninterrupted custom, These women are degraded and imbruted, but they con- tinue to endure and become the mothers of ehildren who are as strong and as phy- ically well able to make their way in the d as any other of the sons of men “There is nothin, work amon and what does she do, do you m the line of men red nations that for greater excrtion than the Iabor im posed upon the squaw of a Sioux or Apache brave The continued existence of these savage tribes goes far to settle the question of the lastingness of the wenkor sex under the most untavorable conditions. But Dr. Richardson, a r cent English writer on social topies, takes position that while women are capa- t doing whitever men may do in the of physieal or mental labor they must first choose by en motherhood and a manly earcer. They cannotrun an equal race if they take upon their shoula an unequal burden, 1t is something Imission made that a maic may be as good as a man. t is now admitted,” says the doctor, “that tho ve- culiuritics in women, which were held to render them constitutionally incapable of pertorming work in equality with men, were not due tg_any inherent capacity of sex, but to a failure of development in- citent to the mode in which the so-callled gentler sex had been brought up. 1f men were brought up in the same vway women have been; if men were made to mov hedged in about the petticoats and dr: ging long trainsin the mire; if men were nipped in corsets; if men were bound to live indoors; if men were forbidd. play or work at active museu xereise; Jf men were not permittea to follow geience, art, literature, then men would bo as incapable as their sisters. Just as the Prince Charlie dogs by -evolu- tionizing have, aé Herbert Spencer has phown, Tost their once powerful jowls by being fed on soft foods, so a 1ace of Her- cules would become effeminate if they were trained, eration upon gener: tion, to effeminate pursuits,” In the matter of ‘‘horse power™ Dr, Richardson may be partly right; but even this admits of a doubt. The poor farmer’s wife who does all the work for a fumily of u dozen lays out as much physical strength and vxfubim 28 much endurance ns does her husband in riding his mow- ing-machine or hocing corn, with the ad- vantage in his ease for the most part in the heated and badly-ventilated kitchen. And can any one question that bending over a washtub or an ironing-table is a lesser tax upon the physical system than swnging a sledge-hanimer in’ the black- smith’s forge or a pickax in the mines? And women have endured this sort of thing always, and have borne children, too, who are physically ablo to follow 1 the footsteps of their mothers, All wonien are not strong enongh to under- take excessive manud labor ealling for unlimited musular force of arms and chest and back. Neither are all men. The betle of the period can kecp pace with the beau of the period when it comes to endurance in the pursuit of pleasure, Af her powers in that line were turned into other channels by force of mclina- tion or circumstanee. there is no reason 10 believe she would be found lacking. In mathematics—a erucial test of brain powor—the women in tho colleges hive vepeatedly demonstrated their capacity nd carricd off the honors. They can ram’’ as well a8 their mule competitors and learn as readily in ali the depart- ments of college training. They can ride, they can row, they cai excel at lawn tenuis and other games in which they are periitted to take part. That higher edu cation does not interfere with the func- tions of motherhood is proyed by the hundreds of women 1 ‘the ficld of seience, literature and art who have brought forth daughters and sous gifted with both bodies and bramns, One of the brightest and most successful noyelists of the day is the mother of twelve children And similar nstances are numerous enough to demonstrate that work is not Incompatible with maternity, Setting that question aside, an eminent Ameri ean authority says it is not the women who read and study and think who break down with nervons disorders, but the drivolous and idle, In all the lighter em- ployments, as in brain culture, women are making their way steadily—in man- aging the postoflices, in telegraphing, in s manipulating type-writers, in bookkeep- g, vrinting, decorati nd copying they are pushing aside the reluctant muales, because thoy are quicker and readier, and, I am ‘afraid, also because their scryices are more cheaply obtained. “Thore is no doubt that women will in- vade the lighter mechanical employ- ments as they bave the departments of Yabor more readily acquired. The ques tion of their skill” and competency is no longer a moot question. But this brings us bick 1o the beginning. I it be within the nower of women by, so to speak, un peotticoating themselves and declining to eonsic marriage as the necessary cud of their existence to make their way in the world as men do, why should the un smated remainder longer bemoan them sol or esteem themselves among the drift and debris of the populous earth?
