Then rooms and play places for children can be arranged on this roof. “When we build our feminist japartment house wo shall get per- j mission from the city authorities to ! | construct a house of childhood on ithe roof, after the Montessorl model. \here will be three rooms, one for the children under two years, one for the children between two and six, and a dormitory where all the little ones can take their naps. ‘The rest of the roof will be lald out In gar- dens, one for each child, The fur- nishings of the rooms will be spe- cially designed for, children—minia- ture tables, chairs ‘and that sort of thing.

On the contrary, one of the most important of its the procuring and securing of better condtions for small boys and girls—and babies. the sincerity back of this statement may be found in the elaborate design for a “house of childhood,” which lterally crowns the architectural plan for the new feminist apartment house.

And Miss , Well known as an educator and one 4 of the moving spirits of the Feminist Alliance, believes 'y landlord in New York will eventually install @ similar provision for babies and small children. Several years ago, before her marriage to Herman Defrem, she adopted When she leased an apartment house she was told, with con- six years old might be endured. But there was real diMculty when she proposed to take another ghild into her taking care of children under the age of six. The Board of Health and the Board of Education should supply attendants. The former institution would natu- rally take charge of the babies, as only their physical wants need be considered. Trained nurses would look out for them, no one woman having more than six babies under her care. The chil- dren between two and six would fall under the supervision of Montessori trained teachers. 0 mother would be compelled to leave her children in this nursery, provided they received proper care elsewhere. At present a mother who sends her children to private achools need have nothing to do with the public schools, But the city takes care that all its children receive schooling, and I believe in the future the city will assume the responai- bility of looking out for the children below achool age. We should have a census of those little ones, just as we now have # census of school chil- dren,” “And you don't think that such an arrangement as you propose would tend to separate a mother from her children?” I asked. “Why should it, when they will be S89 close to her home?” argued Miss Rodman, “They will come home every night, and they need remain in the common nursery only such hours as the mother chooses. “They will be so much better off in such @ nursery than In the modern apartment, That tan't bullt or fur- nished for children, but for grown people.” WOULD HELP TO SETTLE THE PLAYGROUND PROBLEM. “Such an arrangement as you sug- gest would help to settle the play- ground problem,” I observed, an@ then I told Miss Rodman of The Evening World's campaign for more and bet- ter playgrounds, She was much in- terested. “Not our hom lone but our cities have be wilt for adult men and women,” she said. “We must change that.

Meanwhile, we ought not to forget our grei ust roof area, which could so jadily be utilized for the children, Resides being a good thing for the children, the apartment house nursery would be of immense aid to mothers. If there were such provision for little ones I am very certain that more women would be mothers, But at present we penalize motherhood, A woman may be an artist, a teacher, a trained nurse, a social worker, She may have spent years in fitting her- self for her particular job, and she may be devoted to it, We say to her, ‘If you marry and have obildren, you will never be allowed to do anything ANE r 1 } ONO else except satisfy their physical needs,’ ° “Ie it fair to the world, where the Woman may be doing excellent work, or to her, who may have absolutely no talent or training for the trade of nureery-maid? “I believe that women are becoming more and more reluctant to leave their children in unskilled hands, even though the hands be mother’s own.
