WOMEN TO SWEEP NEW YORK STREETS, BA A PREDICTION Tf Made by Pit. F Prof. F. H. Sykes, Who Says the Old Style Housewife Is Gone. HOME IS TRANSFORMED. New Kind of Housewife Is io; Be Trained in a Projected a College. “The old iden! of the honsewife, expressed by the German Zmyperor f= his famous phrase, ‘Church, evoking, children’—this ideal hae Become decidedly dilspidated, And ‘While a few clamor for its restora~ ‘tom, the rest are convinced that it moods yet more dilapidation.” ‘This is the nico little bomb which Prof, F. I. Sykos fired Into the Council of Jewish Women. Prof. Sykes Is the irector of the School of ractical Arts at Teachers’ College, and in Mne for ‘the presidency of the Connecticut Col- lege for Women, an institution to be dullt shortly in New London. ‘The plan 4a to make it combine academies and prectical courses for women fn a way never yet attempted. And Prof. Sykes 49 very much interested tn the "new housewife" which believes this col- lego will turn out. “I prefer to call her ‘new’ rather than ‘deal,’ ho smiled, “A wolnan once @aid that tho only tdeal housewife she'd over heard of was her husband's first swife—and sho was dead. And as a married man I ought not to admit the existence of more than one Ideal houses wife, THE HOUSEWIFE WE USED TO KNOW IS NO MORE. “But the housewife we used to know has gone, just as the home we w know has gone. Old-fashioned home life is now only to be found in the quiet purlicus of Brooklyn. The homes have Veen transformed, a tween 6,000,000 ‘and 7,000,000 women who used to in them without pay are now worl in factories and offices wi yet besides being bread-winners most of theso women ary or will be home- makers—only not according to the old ods. “Every manufacture, except the last stage in tho process of preparing food, is now performed outnide the house- old. I have a most affectionate mem- ory of my grandmother's kitehen, with ite candle moulds and its big loom for weaving. It was a tremendously ‘nter- esting place. Modern liousekeeping may ‘be more refined, but it's duller. It 1s characterized by endless repetition and petty detail; it lacks sweep of action. No woman of ambition and energy can bo eatisfied with taking care of a four- room flat. “What is th wer? Just thise— (hat the new housewife must be the housewife of the community, the municipal mother, “Hor forerunners are already with us ‘They inelude settlement workers, fac- tory inspectors, school and district nurses, Institutonal dietitians, laun managers, Women are eagerly co-op ating to make us change our opinion of their sphere and capacity. ‘There ts much more work for them to do « 4, some day they have not yet tow women will be allowed to keep the streets of New York as clean as women already keeping the streets of Mun- fek, When 20 women are permitted to clear the dust from the public streets, 9,000 women will be saved the drudg- ery of trying to clear thelr homes of dust.

To-day you are far more Ukely to hear a woman say “D—n" at the Colony Ch than on the Bowery. And you are Ubely to hear it anywhere, Booth Tarkington, in his wonderful new story, "The Pilrt,” has the courage and the artistry to make his principal femalo character—a young girl of fam- and an excellent soctal background— swoar at a man and beat him with her fists, Mr. ‘Carkington has always been a writer about Ife as it is, And now tn a weekly which goes intg more than & million homes he has dared to show us a well-bred young girl who swears when she is angry just as her father ror brother does-—tf he does.
